John speaking at the Binational Center
The photo is from John’s speech at the binational center. He gave a great presentation on the election process. I was happy to be able to see it this time. He made a complex process understandable (if you’ve ever tried to explain primaries, caucuses, and the electoral college to anyone, you know how crazy it gets!). Good job, John!
I was particularly busy this week since my boss was visiting the agency in Vallarta. We had a number of special citizen services cases that required a lot of hand-holding (all with good outcomes!), plus our normal heavy workload for passports and citizenship cases. I’m also training a new officer, which is rewarding but time-consuming.
The highlight of the week was finally selling Mom’s house in Hot Springs. It’s been on the market for a while – unfortunately, when we listed it, there were five other houses for sale at the same time (very rare in that lovely neighborhood). But it’s done! I have to admit that while I was glad to not have to worry about it any more, it was very sad to think of how much happiness that house brought her, and that it was one of the last links I have to her.
