Molcajete

    In clearing out the shelving and drawers, to prepare for the work to be done on the kitchen cabinetry, my sister Yvette and I came across this...

    The molcajete (mortar and pestle) once belonging to our grandmother on our father's side. It is probably a century or so old. We wondered whether to continue to hold onto it or not, when I thought to see if the familia Sanchez mostly living in Southern California would like the simple stone instrument passed down to them. 

    I asked our cousin Ruth Gonzalez nee Sanchez, and she was thrilled to have  the heirloom. Grandmother's molcajete is now safely in Ruth's possession. Thank you UPS.
