I know it’s been a long time since I posted and it isn’t that I haven’t cared as in “Caring Bridge”. Life has been busy but the memories are still so close to all our hearts. We turned the house over to the Department of Cultural Affairs before Thanksgiving. It was hard and emotional but it was the next step and we did it with grace. Christmas time is so special to the Taylor family. We have the Nacimiento tour continuing year after year and we held the first without our beloved father a week ago today. He would have been so happy to see the many people who come from near and far to see the beautiful collection our parents and family have acquired throughout the years. Christmas Eve we gathered at the Ratje home and enjoyed each other’s company. The large Nacimiento was set up in the patio and the zaguán was open to the public. The Historic Site’s new manager, Wendi Laws and her partner Andrew were there to experience the very old tradition of honoring Jesus’ birth. Traditions are so very special and this one will continue and we are blessed. 🙏
