Lessons from the Garden

May 29, 2012 By Marta Darby 7 Comments

My roses are blooming. All of them. All at once. And although they look very beautiful, and some are quite spectacular, they require my attention. Right now. And it feels like quite an overwhelming task. But I'll grab my pruning shears and go through each bush, dead-heading as I go. It's quite a big job when they're all going ...

Mrs. Darby Goes to Washington.

May 21, 2012 By Marta Darby 13 Comments

Today is the celebration of my 57th year on this earth. I'm in Washington DC, at the White House. I'm holding a reminder that it's only "90 Miles to Cuba." I think that IS important right now. Happy Birthday to me. ...

The Circle of Life

May 20, 2012 By Marta Darby 4 Comments

Some (very simplified, don't judge me) Cuban History for today: In 1902, a bloody war had been fought between Cuba and Spain for Cuba's independence. The Cuban's won. It was quite a crushing defeat for the Spanish. They never quite recovered from it. The president of the United States at that time was Theodore Roosevelt who had ...

On the stage of the Hollywood Bowl (Pinch me.)

May 16, 2012 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

I'm going to write about the Hollywood Bowl today. Just as a warning - this post may get all emotional and gushy (<--is that a word?) because I LOVE the Hollywood Bowl. I love it so much I want to marry it. There's going to be gushing. And photos. And videos. And more gushing. Yes. It's uber-nerd heaven. The Bowl is just so ...

Where in the world is Marta today?

May 10, 2012 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

I realize I haven't been posting as often as I like and I apologize, but that doesn't mean I'm not around. In fact, I seem to be all over the web today. I'm guest posting in a couple of places: I have an essay about Mother's Day over at the Tiki Tiki. I tell you a lot about Luza. It's titled "My Mother. My ...

KIA “Fun and Forty” Challenge – Miami to Key West – Part 1

May 6, 2012 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

 [Disclaimer: I'm going to be posting about my trip to Miami and Key West in installments because there's just too much to tell, and because the awesome can't be contained in just one post. Also, please excuse the blurry photos that may or may not have been taken from the passenger side of a fast-moving car.] Last week I had the pleasure of taking ...

3:05 Cafecito break in the 305 (area code)

May 2, 2012 By Marta Darby 13 Comments

I just got back from a fabulous trip to South Florida (more about this later). One of the biggest draws for me when I am visiting Miami (Area Code 305), besides visiting family and enjoying the mostly perfect beach weather is, of course, the Cuban food. Bistec de palomilla, moros y cristianos, maduros (you could die from such beauty): I had this ...
