Today is my grandson Antonio's 12th Birthday and I wish him all the best in the world! He's been my inspiration, my buddy, my hero and one of the reasons I enjoy being a grandfather so much!
And he's also a bright student at school!
Back in the 1960s, during Christmas, my family would hit the road and travel from Mexico City to San Antonio, Texas with the express purpose of doing some gift shopping and to spend Christmas there as well. We usually returned home on the 26th to celebrate the New Year back at home. Joske's was the main destination of our shopping days and visiting the toy department was a dream come true for us young tykes. I can still remember the toys I found there and the many hours we spent browsing through the aisles in wonderment.
