My Little Piece of Mexico

The fall symbolizes peace for Mom. I, on the other hand, become restless for it is nature telling me that the extreme cold is near. I may be an "inanimate" sock monkey but, really? Is providing me with a little coat, scarf, or pair of gloves that much of a task? I love going places but even my supposedly inanimate self is not immune to the elements.

I must have a moment with Mom. Maybe the cat or dog can assist me? At least I have my sweet, warm memories of Mexico - Plaza Olvera in Los Angeles, California. Okay, so I have never crossed the border, but I can dream. And dream I shall. 

At the entrance of Plaza Olvera.

Mariachi Mona: ¡Ay, ay, ay!

My new friends. Us "inanimates" are everywhere.

Mom, I will remember this happier time when you are taking
pictures of me in the dead of winter without proper winter attire.
I love you, still.

Where's Mona? Find the sock monkey, save the world. 

Apparently Mexicans don't believe
in sock monkey sized clothing either.
What is a sock monkey to do?

Until next time, Plaza Olvera.
Cielito Lindo... Isn't that the name of a fish I know?
