Pulling old photos from all kinds of places and came across this one of my sis and me at Parrot Jungle in Miami. We loved this place and would visit it when we went to Miami to visit my paternal grandmother. I also took my daughter there when we visited South Beach, although I think it’s called Jungle Island now.
#ThrowbackThursday – A Visit to Santa
I’ve been packing and unpacking, going through so many things that were tucked away and I found some older photos of my sister and me! This is a fun one of us visiting Santa. Have a great day and stay safe and healthy out there.
#ThrowbackThursday – Grateful Immigrants
With the 4th of July only days away, it seemed only right to share this photo of some immigrants who are very grateful to be in America. My grandmother and mother are to the left. I am to the extreme right and my sister is to my left. God bless America and Happy Birthday!
#ThrowbackThursday – A New Chapter in My Life
It’s hard to believe that it’s time to move on, but as my daughter wisely pointed out, “That was the married have a kid chapter. Now you’re in in the enjoy yourself chapter.” Very true. Now it’s the writing full-time and having time for a stroll along the boardwalk part of my life, but saying goodbye is so very hard to do. (Feel free to sing along to that past part). So I’m taking away lots of great memories and some photos like this one! We snapped this after they had finished pouring the front porch we added during renovations. My daughter is the question mark since I was pregnant with her when we undertook those renovations. Murphy’s Law at work.
#ThrowbackThursday – A Jonas Brothers Encounter
Years ago, before they were Grammy-nominated artists, the Jonas Brothers were Jersey Boys who played a number of local venues. My daughter was in love with them and I spent quite a few nights at concerts with her which may explain some hearing loss. Those young girls really know how to scream! This is a throwback to one of those concerts many years ago. Last but not least, today is the last day to enter my giveaway at https://www.facebook.com/Caridad.Author/posts/10157196197695913 for a chance to win a box of goodies and your choice of one of my books!
#ThrowbackThursday – Happy Anniversary!
Since today is my wedding anniversary, it seems appropriate to share this photo from our wedding day. We snapped the photo in front of a building in a public park that I’d come to know from playing in an orchestra at that park when I was a teen. Hubby and I had always wanted a Rolls Royce as our limo and this was an awesome Rolls with a Hooper carriage. We also didn’t do the traditional tux and wedding dress as you can tell and actually had a small wedding. Only about 35 or so guests because my mom had passed less than a year earlier and we didn’t want a big celebration. Despite that, we had a wedding filled with happiness, family, and friends. I truly love how this photo came out!
#ThrowbackThursday – BEA 2014 and the Ellora’s Cavemen
I had the privilege of attending BookExpo America on a number of occasions. It was always so much fun to meet readers and to also walk around and see what the various publishing houses were offering. In 2014, I was even able to hang out with the Ellora’s Cavemen for a little bit. A tough job, but someone has to do it! LOL!
