….it is hard to believe that the Opening of the Chapel of Jimmy Ray has come and gone and I have not posted anything….well the thing is…….26 hours after the event…an over zealous waiter in a restaurant here in San Miguel spilt red wine on my computer….and alas…….the computer is in the shop….And I am typing on a computer that only opens a third of the way….Despite it all…….we were absolutely blessed and reveled in the magnificent sunshine that glowed and radiated and revealed so much at the Opening…I am still blown away and oftentimes moved to tears by what went down…We busted our asses off everyday from July to February…getting it together….It was so much fun…I am so lucky to be part of this effort and I am forever and eternally grateful for all the help I had. My Dad, James Rayburn McLauchlin Jr., the original Jimmy Ray would be proud of his son… i dedicated the Gallery to that man…so here are some pics that I rescued from Facebook…..I will be posting more as rainbows pour through my heart and moments disappear in the wonder of it all…We are all fortunate to be alive…stay close to yourselves and your friends…let us cherish these moments….Love to all! Thanks to all! Let us continue to celebrate! I am so grateful to beloved Richard, my partner…Carlos my assistant…Carlos' crew…Michael Sudheer, my oldest friend and patron, Patrice Wynne, Kate McKenna and Richard Quick for these great photos…to Spencer Tunick for his continued genius and his Beloved Muse, Krissy…….and all the revelers and attendees…….such a beautiful day!

I forgot to mention and it was pointed out to me today almost six months later Cindi and Hermes for the amazing Mohiganga that blew up at the event. It was the showstopper. Thank you to puppets on parade!
