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!!! ✌
