Where in 'Burque is Adelita? (numero tres)

This week I let my daughter pick the pictures for today's 'Where in Burque is Adelita' post. It took her a while to finally decide which photos she thought would be the perfect combination to stump you!

I like that some DCFers have suggested some really cool spots for me to photograph. I'm collecting all those suggestions for a post all its own. So if you find a super wonderful spot I should photograph, by all means, let me know. Or if you… Continue

Itsa Italian Ice

My daughter and I were just on 2nd Street between Menaul and Candelaria when I had to do a double take. Itsa Italian Ice is back! They've only been open since July 12th.

We walked in and indulged ourselves with great Italian Ice. They have a full menu of hamburgers, hot dogs, Frito pie, corn dogs, gelati, ice cream, and of course, Italian Ice. Didn't get lunch, but the choices for the ice were many - lemon, cherry, watermelon, black… Continue

Lavender Festival

Had a great time at the Lavender Festival. By 12:00pm my daughter and I were wilting from the heat. Plus my hair was growing to twice it's normal size because of the humidity. Really wanted to stay and listen to the Rivet Gang, but a Joe Sausage sandwich was calling my name! Here are a few pictures from the… Continue

Big Bad Mamas

I have a secret confession. I love to sing. I love singing in the car, at home while cleaning the house, and whenever the spirit moves me. There’s just this one little problem - I am tone deaf. To say I sing off key is an understatement. And I’ve got the vocal range of about two notes. I would love to have one of those big powerful voices like Lola Beltrán or… Continue
