During my bday vacay last week, I visited a home that is among my fondest memories:

my beloved soon-to-be (in 2½ weeks) Birthday Girl aunt’s estate!

Not only am I a fan, but apparently and rightfully so, her community also is as well because both

Her award-winning garden was featured

Her interior received generous press

in ☼The Baltimore Sun☼

The highlight of my stay was when I sat in my Tita Fe‘s gourmet kitchen with Mami Aya, her siblings and their spouses ~ during which my MD aunts and uncles, who included

Tita Fe & Tito Rudy (my mom’s oldest sister and her husband)
Tito Robert & Tita Yollie (my mom’s youngest brother & his wife)

each endorsed me for my PhD ~ providing their sound advice that I’ll take with me as I progress toward my doctoral dissertation defense.

4:44 ~ make a Bday/BTS wish!!! ✌

Remember the Day of the Dead …

Ghost Town at peace ✌

In spirit of All Souls’ Day, I’d like to share my belated birthday trip, thanks to my sis!

Joanne & I rock out Prada in West Texas!

Originally, I only wanted to cross Marfa off my Bucket List for the Prada display…

My parents get in on the Prada action!

However, this month’s Birthday Girl, JoJo, had more in store to surprise me ~ bigger and better:

Welcome to BIG BEND National Park!

Big Bend ~ a landscape photographer’s dream!!!

DISPO Fam @ Big Bend

COOLEY-DISPOs @ Big Bend

Before then, we checked out the George W. Bush Childhood Home in Midland, which I already toured during my work assignment this past summer.

Mainly, we stopped and stayed in Terlingua, Texas ~ also known as Ghost Town!

Welcome to Ghost Town ~ Terlingua, Texas!

Like the night life in Ghost Town?

I bet Ghost Town welcomes more visitors than has residents

*~*~*~*~* Here are the highlights! *~*~*~*~*

Joanne & I are ready to paint the town! Ghost Town, that is!

✌Peaceful Ghost Town

🎊Birthday🎉 & 🍎Back-to-School🍏!!!

Last week (or shall I say, two weeks before then to include three full weeks), I rang in my BiG 3-3 and prepared to teach in my hometown this fall ~ after over five years of teaching in South Texas. Therefore, I had to get a minor makeover!

First, Evie‘s mom Maggie cut and curled my hair (as seen with A&A).

Then Dee and I celebrated together, and she added to my wardrobe👗!

Don’t Dee & I look hot in our maxi dresses?

On my actual Bday, we curled our hair!

Speaking of Dee, don’t she, Lisa and I all look fabulous as the August Birthday Baby Beauties💁?

Beautiful Bday Babes Lisa & Me

Love ’em like Sisters!

& of course, now that I’m exactly half my mom‘s age (she was my age when she gave birth to me), here’s an indicator of how I may look like when I’m double my age!

Good timing that Back-to-School was yesterday, due to my beauty gifts from Nanay & Sis!

Birchbox from Joanne

HBD, GTD (Great Teacher DISPO)!!!

🙏RIP✌️, 👴Lolo Tico👼 on his 18th 💒Anniversary☝️

#Happy #Birthday ASIA ~ You’ve fulfilled my #fantasia ♥♥♥

On this special #date, my #Beautiful #BlueEyed #Baby #ASIA turns 8!
Isn’t that great? She’s been w/me all over this State!
Now her doc has ordered her to lose weight (don’t hate)!

Asia01
Either way, she always #lights up my #day & hasn’t gone astray…

Asia23
Some may perceive yours truly as a #CrazyCatLady for going #CameraHappy
But if I really was a #mommy of my own baby,
Don’t you know I’d still go all out because that’s what I’m all about!
