Well, not only did she leave early, but she came home late. We were hungry. And of course before we we able to eat we had to listen to the story of the Virgin of Talpa in Jalisco. In the little village of Talpa in Jalisco there is an image of Mary which was made out of the powder of ground corn husks hundreds of years ago, and which had nearly deteriorated because of bugs and weather. They say it was miraculously restored. Now there is a likeness of the image at St. Thomas in Tukwila, and it came to St. B's tonight for a procession and visit, of course with a banquet following. But after the Mass and before the dinner there was a long reception line to touch Mary's cloak. The only good thing we found in this event is that the keeper brought us home our favorite coconut ice cream afterward.
