I have been in Miami all weekend having an amazing time. I've spent time with some fabulous blog friends and eaten Cuban food and even danced in a club in South Beach. (But I'll deny it if you tell anyone.) But now my amazing Blogalicious weekend is coming to an end. Frankly, I'm on overload from people and ideas and even ...

Cada Dia con Marta Maria
I have been blogging now for 4 years and I'm celebrating! (It seems I'm always celebrating something, but that's not important right now.) I started this blog on October 1st, 2006. I never pictured I'd still be going four years later. Four years, people! I thought by now I would have run out of stuff to write about. But, ...
Desi’s in Miami this weekend (and I am not). *sigh*
I was privileged to have had the opportunity to be in Miami in May for Cuba Nostalgia. While there, I got to see and hang out with most of my favorite intransigent bloggers (=D) and to experience the food and music that define me as a Cuban. I love living in So Cal, but every now and then, Miami sings her siren song to me. (It usually comes with a ...
Tails from the Goose in D.C. – part 5 – Exercising our 1st Amendment Rights
Marta here: All this past week, I've been letting Lucy do the talking. Eric and I were pleased that she was able to attend the Young America's Foundation High School Conference in Maryland. Let me be perfectly clear: Yes, we are unapologetic Conservatives. I won't belabor the point by explaining (yet again!) that my family had to ...
Little Lucy Goose in Washington D.C. – Episode 4
If you have been following along, you know that my Lucy has been in Washington, D.C. for the Young America's Foundation conference and that I have not been able to focus on much else. She is finally home safe, but she enjoyed sending me emails so much (and having them posted on the blog) that she continued writing to me as if she were still ...
Tales of The Traveling Goose – Part 3. Things Get Hectic
My Lucy is 3,000 miles away in Chevy Chase, Maryland. She's at a Young America's Foundation conference for high school students and is busy making new friends and learning about the conservative principles that have made this country great. I'm delighted she's getting this opportunity, but as her mother, well....I'm pretty ...
Miss Lucy Goes to Washington – Part Deux
Lucy is in Washington D.C. for the week (see earlier post). This entry describes the 2nd leg of her flight from Houston to D.C. DISCLAIMER: I am completely aware that the following post may only be of interest to me (as her mom) but I am really enjoying the description of her adventures and wanted to share. NOTE: For better understanding of what ...
Miss Lucy Goes to Washington – Part 1
My Lucy (Lucy Goose to you) is in Washington D.C. this week for a conference sponsored by Young America's Foundation. We're excited she was able to participate and I believe it will be a wonderful experience for her. What I was NOT prepared for was my own reaction as the realization hit me that she was going to be traveling ALONE. ...
Thankful – November 23
Today I am thankful for... my home. There is NO place like it. =D ...
Thankful – November 22
Today I am thankful for ... Chocolate! (and for the friends who provide it.) Thanks, Amy for your generous and gracious hospitality. Of course, I love Lucy, too. ;-) ...
