COMMUNITY COUNCIL IN VALLLE DE MAIZ
23 DECEMBER 2007
23 DECEMBER 2007
Owen went downstairs to encourage Heidi, some sort of Fox terrier, to go play with Camellia, some sort of scruffy brown dog. As Owen descended toward the garden he saw Louis ascending toward his end of the row of houses. He had been visiting with Antonio, weekend guard of the garden and interior houses. They exchanged hand gestures of greeting one another and both proceeded to the patio table. Heidi did not go to the garden until Antonio appeared from his guard house with Camellia. Owen gestured to Antonio to join the other elders at the table. Camellia and Heidi exchanged doggy greetings and the meeting began with discussion of the family Posadas which Louis was invited to attend.
Gustavo invites Louis to the entire week of Posadas every year but Louis explained that he is not comfortable with a Catholic celebration where he is expected to kiss the ceramic representation of a baby Jesus before he receives his candy as a reward. Louis is a determined person, he is not Catholic. Antonio attempted to explain that the Posada is for companionship and is followed by friendly talking and drinking of Tequila. Owen enlisted Antonio in explaining that the celebration did not come from Rome but the inverse is true; Rome adopted the ceremony of winter companionship as celebrated in Mexico. Antonio finally was bored by the attempt to unify three viewpoints and he retired. He had remained long enough for the two dogs to play throughout the garden during the council deliberations. Camelia went with him and Heidi remained with the council which was reduced to only two intellects proceeding in friendship to find compatible points of view.
Nancy finally located the missing husband after her Internet communications were completed. She shouted from above and then joined the council meeting. She reviewed the memories of the meeting but could not produce a consensus so the meeting was continued after a couple of hours of deliberations. All ended on a friendly basis with future meetings to be scheduled by telephone as necessary. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and Owen expects Louis to report sometimes on the last day of the Posada with the entire family of Gustavo.
