“Our Mexican restaurant”

You probably don’t realize how cute that is. I love small towns :-)

Long story Two of the seasonal students were taking their extra papers back home to Mexico. (Produce pickers) Their village did not have a school and they were teaching other children what they had learned. At conference the teacher asked if there was anyway the family could stay year round Four generation of family had been part of our community and church for decades helping the produce farmers
To make a long story short. Father said he and wife were good cooks, the teachers husband worked at a bank The bank owned a restaurant SO our small town gained a new permanent family and an excellent restaurant.
Jose ended up opening five restaurants in adjoining counties. The daughter is now a doctor and her brother a teacher. Many other family members have lived here, been educated and returned to their village which now has school, water, sewage and power. (And a beauty shop open by Joses sister who got her beauty license while her children were educated.) JOse and wife have sold their restaurants here to other family members and are enjoying their retirement in their very prosperous village.
Yes it is OUR Mexican restaurant.
