My Little Neighbor POPETOS

Popetos enjoying a Keebler's Sandies Pecan Shortbread Cookie. One of the snacks I brought along on the trip. He now refers to me as "The Cookie Lady."

Hi everyone, this is my neighbor Popetos. He is four years old and affectionately knows me as "The Cookie Lady." Popetos recently graduated from the LaFluerta Garifuna Pre-School in Dangriga, Belize and was so proud last night to tell me that he gave the "Welcome" at his graduation ceremony. He even gave us an exclusive rendition of his performance in our living room. Flat Stanley was on hand to congratulate him for such a wonderful and spirited speech! Flat and Popetos are big buddies now!

Like spirits commune Cynthia! Great to hear from you and share my experiences here in Dangriga with you and all that visit the blog. I do indeed miss you and enjoyed the one-on-one fellowship with you at Chili's before coming here. That was so precious of a time. I am grateful for our friendship. Keep checking in. I will hopefully have a posting on my court visits. The honor and integrity of justice is felt not only in the courtrooms in the states, but also the courtrooms here in Belize.
