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
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!!! ✌

I’ve always admired my parents‘ hard work, not just in their jobs, but also in how they maintain their home.
To this very day, almost three decades since we moved into their forever home, I still consider it as the nicest one on the block all year round.
Just part of my parents’ front yard on the southwest side
- My dad, who has a green thumb, takes pride in doing his own gardening.
- My mother, who decorates for every single holiday, decks the halls and the porches to welcome each season.
A brand-new addition to their spring blossoms: This pink flower is in full bloom!
Who needs Home Owners Association when this DISPO DIY couple prefer to exercise their own creativity?
