Dia De Los Muertos

My students have a hard time keeping the Mexican holiday "dia de los muertos" seperate from halloween. Dia de los muertos is more like our memorial day - the graves of loved ones who have passed are decorated and the passed loved ones are remembered. Halloween is now a day to run around and have fun with friends and eat candy. When halloween nears I also have a hard time determining the difference between the two.

Welcome to my world. Nothing too exciting going on here....I am a teacher and enjoy telling my friends about the interesting things that happen in my daily life. I find the most pleasure in the simple things that occur daily. Like the brilliant sunsets as I drive home from work or the way Maggie whimpers and paws when she dreams in the kitchen or the way Cody starts my car when he leaves for work just because he knows I don't like to be cold.
