It’s All Maya!

Maya Muses:  I thought I would have had time to write at least one post before now, but I’ve been so busy!  I have several things I wanted to comment on, like Mine That Bird coming in second at the Preakness.  If the race had been just a few lengths longer, or he wasn’t tied […]

Maya Muses:  Another reason to get out the tequila and make some frozen Margaritas!  (Not that I need to find an excuse, but one reason is as good as another!!!)  Otherwise everyone in Mexico today might be speaking French and drinking Champagne!  Hmm, now that’s […]
