Sharing Old Traditions With New Friends

Friday was Dia de los Muertos, a centuries old holiday celebrating the dead. It is a major holiday in my house - the equivalent of Christmas or Thanksgiving. There was a huge party, complete with ofrenda, sugar skulls, and raucous toasting of our departed loved ones. It was a special and unique experience to see the giant Venn Diagram circles of my life intersect for such a meaningful occasion. Thank you to Maureen, Lindsay, Far and Alexis for representing USD with such good cheer!

Happy Dia de los Muertos!
