I too associate cilantro with heat, salsa and quacamole, and Mexico. As I read your description I felt like I was in Mexico enjoying the sun on my skin as I savoured the taste of salsa made with freshly picked cilantro. Thanks for the imaginings. The warm thoughts were a welcome break from our cold spring! Maurine Hi Lorra,

Out family had almost as many kinds of pets as yours – just missing the guinea pigs and gerbils. I loved the depiction of your dog just about to lovingly lick your hamster. I can picture it so clearly, this over-eager dog excitedly trying to reach this little hamster to express its feelings. I remembered the many times my dog could not contain her happiness to see me and lovingly licked my face, hands, and any other body part she could contact. I am curious, though, about the story behind “the monkey”. Was there an actual monkey that you were not allowed to adopt into your family or is “the monkey” just a term like “the kitchen sink” when people say such things as, “He had everything but the kitchen sink in his bag”? Thanks for the good memories! Maurine Hi Lorra,
