January 1990 - After the festivities - Después de las fiestas

Dear Alejandrina,
Happy New Year! Incredibly, we are already in mid January! I can only now say that we are back to normality since December 21st, when school broke up and my mother arrived, so many things happen for the Christmas holidays and we see so many people… Here Christmas and the New Year extend for three weeks to a month if you include Francesca’s birthday.
We’ve had a very good time, with friends’ parties and my family, including my sister’s little girl who is already one and a half years old and is lovely, very lively and strong. She runs around and climbs everything, there is nothing she cannot reach and is very quick to learn.

Oscar managed to rest enough but already on the first week of January he’s had to travel to Chicago. He spent a few days between Chicago and New York, working.Now he is immersed back in his usual routine. However, he enjoyed the relaxation of the holidays even painted a picture he likes very much. I am sending you some photos of the artist at work and with the finished painting. I am also including a photo of our rabbit, Timothy. It has now grown very large and we cannot let him out into the garden because everything is starting to grow (the weather is lovely and spring like) and he eats all the new growth. I let him loose to run around in the lean to where there is some space and then he goes back to his little home. He’s got floppy years, which gives him a very funny expression. Although he is very cuddly and Pablo holds him in the evening, when he goes all soppy because he loves to be stroked, Francesca finds it difficult to hold as he is so big and has long nails. She doesn’t like the feel of his nails, but at least she can stroke him.
We know that things are difficult over there, how are the Gambinos managing? I hope you are not hard up with the high inflation. Sometimes from here it is difficult to realise how hard it must be over there. Please let us know if you are OK or are having problems.
Well, I will say goodbye. I will send this and will se if the children write. A big hug and a kiss from

Querida Alejandrina:
¡Felíz Año Nuevo! ¡Parece mentira que ya estamos a mediados de enero! Recién hoy puedo decir que volvemos a la normalidad, desde el 21 de diciembre que los chicos terminaron la escuela y llegó mi mamá, con esto de las vacaciones de navidad se hacen tantas cosas y se ve tanta gente...
Aquí Navidad y Año Nuevo se prolongan por tres semanas o un mes contando el cumpleaños de Francesca.

Lo pasamos muy bien, con reuniones de amigos y mi familia, incluída la nena de Pamela que ya tiene un año y medio y es una preciosura, muy simpática y fuerte. Corre por todos lados y se sube a todo. No hay nada que no alcance y aprende todo rapidísimo.



Bueno, me despido. Voy a mandar ésta y luego veré si los chicos escriben. Un abrazo grandote y un beso de
Patricia
