    There are 2 comments that you made about your Mom that I am wondering about. Why are you and Stella ganging up on Mom and throwing noodles. I also needed you to tell me more about Mom crashing the car. I love reading your journals. I am learning lots about Peru and the things you are doing. It sounds like the food is great. Love Grandma
