Hot Chicken…an acquired taste
Leslie and I have acquired a taste for different foods that we were not used to eating when we were younger. Sometimes we like to be just like kids that refuse to eat something…but then we try it and LOVE it! So recently we’ve fallen in love with hot chicken. We went from buffalo wings…

Harry Potter – long overdue
My heart is still racing and I’m still recovering from about 10 minutes of sheer panic when my computer wouldn’t turn on this morning. I went into the bedroom and stood next to Javi and I think he knows what this means by now because only 2 months ago one of my memory cards was…

I hate you mosquitoes! – Part I
We wouldn’t be living in the South if we didn’t sit on the front porch in the evening, and we wouldn’t be in the south if we didn’t get eaten alive by mosquitoes every evening we sit on the front porch. We decided we’ve had enough….those little bastards will not stop us from enjoying the…

We have been waiting for a long time to take Choripan to the dog park and see him making friends! So finally the day came, he has all his vaccines, we had some extra time during the week, and the weather was very pleasant after the rain. We knew he would have a lot of…

My art and Chupete shirts!
Since I was a kid I had a special interest in art. I wasn’t the “Mom! Mom! I want to go to the museum and look paintings and statues” kind of kid, more like “Mom! Mom! do you have a pen and a piece of paper I can use to draw?” kind of kid. I…

The Boat Jammers on Broadway!
Morning folks! So last night Javi and I were down on Broadway listening to some music at the bar Margaritaville! I hadn’t ever been to Margaritaville – most of the time when I’m on Broadway I head to Roberts (the honky-tonk) and I’m a creature of habit so I haven’t branched out to many other…
