I have had a difficult time keeping up with this blog business. Some things are easier for some than others. This thing is not easy for me. It does not come very naturally. I do not know why, but for some reason time goes by incredibly fast when it comes to updating this blog. When I realize it, months have passed without a single update.
Well, we all struggle to better ourselves in one way or another. Some of us have a list of things in which to improve. Blogging is on my list.
So that's that, onto updating this blog I go!

the big 79, part IV: the presents • os presentes
My great grandmother used to display all her birthday presents on her bed every year and ask that her photo be made sitting beside them. My grandmother was too busy caring for her 150 guests to think about being in this photo.
my grandmother's house • a casa de minha avó
My mother, her sister, and guess who that is up there hanging on the wall?
the big 79
As she turns 79 years-old, my granmother would not have it any other way. The most logical things to do in such an occasion is certainly to have a party for 150 people. That's how she rolls. The small town of Viçosa do Ceará showed came in full force. Besides the Mapurunga family, there were the town priest, the mayor, the past mayor (of a different political party - it is remarkable they would be seen in the same place), and so many other people I lost track.
