Lucy and Amy are at the Angels game tonight against the Kansas City Royals. At this hour, the Royals are wiping the field with the Angels, but do these girls care?Noooo. Why not? Because they get to wear RED.Because they get to do the wave.Because there are fireworks when the Angels score.Because of the rally monkey.Because they play salsa music ...

A Riddle
Q: What's Cuban and rhymes with "EYE CANDY?" A: Seriously. Do I really need to spell it out? ;-) [sigh] Andy Garcia as Terry Benedict in Ocean's Thirteen. ...
Just us.
Amy had a birthday on the 16th of this month.And I took her to see Chayanne.And I won't even mention that whole trip-to-Miami thing. ;-) And she did get to celebrate with her friends and go dancing and all that. But, our family dinner was preempted by Father's Day and a houseful of people. And she still wanted our traditional "family ...
Pomp and Circumstance
If you had met my sweet Lucy a few years ago, your impression would probably be that she was a quiet girl.You might even be tempted to use the word, shy. But, I'll just put all speculation to rest.All my kids have very BIG personalities.But Lucy does fall into the "quiet" category when you first meet her or don't know her very well. I got ...
“Hay sol bueno y mar de espuma. . .”
Varadero, Cuba. Summer of 1960.The one on the far left and the tall one are two of my sisters, Alina and Miriam. The other 3 are cousins. During the course of the summer there would be 14 more kids - all of our cousins, from 5 families, sharing that beach house.It even had a name: Villa ObduliaI think Obdulia was the daughter of the lady who ...
She IS the boss of me.
It was a busy weekend for us with all the birthday celebrations and Father's Day. But I took the day off from my real life last Friday to go help out at the CKU convention in Anaheim (scrapbooking event). There was no way I was going to be able to actually attend the entire thing (which made me sad in like 10 different ways) because Lucy had a ...

Cuban Racing Monkees
Before I jumped into homeschooling, I did tons of research. I researched different types of homeschools, curriculum, schedules, and learning styles. Because I, personally, am primarily a visual learner, I read every book I could get my hands on and then I read everything I could find on the web. I took copious notes and made diagrams and ...
Our motto? Laugh. Eat. Play.
The kids are out of school and in this part of the country it's like a feeding frenzy trying to get kids signed up for "camps." Yes. That's the hip thing to do. (of course, I am anything but hip - sigh)If you don't know how to just be with and enjoy your child or help them entertain themselves for the summer, you sign them ...
FOUND: A real-live Cuban in the O.C.
I got a call the other day from the mother of a local high school student. It seems her son was assigned to represent Cuba at the school "international day" and he couldn't find a Cuban to interview.So the mom turned to Google and found me. Of course I agreed to be interviewed, but I had to first explain that I was very passionate ...
