It’s All Maya!

 
It feels like Autumn already this year and that’s so unusual for here!  Patrick and I have spent the last few days walking on our “private beach”.  We marvel at the beauty and the spectacular sunsets where the light changes from moment to moment. 

Where ducks and geese head south for the winter and make a […]

 Maya Muses:  As I wrote last year, my “87 year-old young” mother is still full of life!  When she’s not traveling around the globe, you can find her working in her garden.  That’s where she thrives, down on her hands and knees with her fingers in the dirt!  She must be doing something right because everything […]

Maya Muses:  When you get to be my age, another year is not really something to celebrate!  (Notice - there aren’t any candles on this cake, so don’t ask!) I just wanted to thank everyone who e-mailed me (family, friends, and blogging buddies) wishing me a Happy Birthday!  Thanks!!!

Was there ever any doubt that Mine That Bird, who caused one of the biggest upsets in Kentucky Derby history last Saturday, would go on to the Preakness in search of the Triple Crown?  Not really.  For many last week, watching Mine That Bird in the Kentucky Derby was like watching Street Sense all over […]

Wishes of Happiness Prosperity.  No, I’m not a Native American, the tribe I come from is the Huichol (Wixáritari) tribe which are the direct descendants of the Aztecs, but I was fortunate enough to go to a Native American wedding ceremony and dance with the tribe much like what you see in the video.  It […]
