Que Paso?

OK I can not believe that Spain lost this game...... We are talking about the BEST PLAYERS in the world! Nobody cares about soccer in the United States....I am so ashamed of this defeat. Team USA had better enjoy the moment because it will never happen again! I always laughed at the grown men in Spain that would cry after a loss....I too felt like crying. It's all so embarrassing!

I love my cousins!!!!!

My awesome cousins Berto and Carmen Maria and me taking a Sunday drive in the mountains above Veguin. {I don't think that Mercedes ever recovered.} Te echo de menos primos!!!!!Hasta Pronto....

no para la venta !!

World Trade Center Artifacts

Here is another powerful photo, I assume the two guns on display here belonged to NYPD officers who responded to the World Trade Center. The intensity of the heat is mind boggling. Hell the whole story is mind boggling....

World Trade Center

This is an airplane window recovered from the World Trade Center. I stood in front of this window and so many thoughts raced through my mind. Who was the last person to sit in this seat? A man or woman or child? Was it the first time they had ever flown? Did they have children waiting for them at an airport somewhere? I have more questions but suddenly feel so sad while typing this post I think I will leave it alone. I am reminded of President Obama's inaugural speech. "We will extend our hand if you will unclench your fist"

Madison Square Garden

In march Miguel , Collin and I enjoyed a short trip to New York City. Collin and I were waiting for Miguel at Madison Square. When I saw the special agents show up with their arsenal of weapons.... well at first I felt safe..... Pretty soon my powers of paranoia set in and I started figuring in factors , like what if someone were to shoot at the SWAT guys ? Shit, what if they missed and shot me or my son? I did manage to sacrifice my son long enough to snap a picture before we moved a good distance away from possible gunfire!!! (yes, yes this post screams country girl)

UN GRAN CABRON

I was just pondering to myself who is the MOST EVIL BASTARD I can think of ? Today I give the EVIL BASTARD PRIZE to DICKLESS CHENEY. Congrats dude.

Mis Tres Novios!!!!

La Gigante

This is my beautiful mother in law Mari my handsome father in law, Luis and me....the enormous Americana. I am the biggest person in our entire Spanish family. If I were to lose 50 pounds I would STILL be the "fat one" EVERY YEAR when I squeeze into my shitty itty bitty coach airplane seat I swear to myself to shed some major poundage. AS GOD IS MY WITNESS ........ next year.

Kansas

Anyone from Kansas would look at this photo and wonder "whats the big deal?" My Spanish friends however will be amazed and confused at the width of main street or the plaza mayor. This is my old hometown Burlingame Kansas USA. Way back in the day it was a awesome little town to grow up in. I really do have wonderful childhood memories....Not much else to say on this subject.

New Sheriff In Town!

OK OK I got some new toy's so I have not even turned my desk top PC on in months. I will start blogging again, I promise (if anyone really cares)

I found this old photo from 2001 when Miguel and I visited Abilene Kansas. A very famous cow town on the old Chisholm Trail, also the birthplace of US President Dwight Eisenhower. My husband is in yellow in between the can-can girls! Oh yeah he is also pointing a pistol at some bad ass hombre....
