Here, have some “Pi”

October 30, 2013 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

Do you love fall? I truly do. Although, here in Southern California, Fall is a little schizophrenic. We have very cool and blustery days and then the sun will come out and suddenly it's just a regular beach day. It even rained one day in September. We didn't know how to act, of course. We just don't know how to "do" weather. However, the calendar ...

My 7 Favorite Blog Posts

Cuco and Yayo

October 21, 2013 By Marta Darby

My mom, Luza, is 99 (and a half) years old. That's me & Luza. She's 99 in this photo. She's always been a very curious person and to this day, she loves learning. So a few years ago she was asking about how the internet search engines work. I tried explaining it in the simplest terms. What was awesome is that I then heard her regurgitate ...
