Monday was a pleasantly restful, tranquil day. Sunny but cool, not overly bright but with a cheery undertone to it all. I loved it at first sight. đ I spent it just hanging out in the family room, the sunniest part of the house as it has a big picture window and glass doors leading to …

Kalamansi: A Bit of Pinas In My Backyard
Summer is approaching and I have grand plans for plants.

This past Saturday was my mother-in-law's sister's birthday so hubby and I drove up to Houston to help celebrate it. It will be tita Belen's 74th birthday, and her second trip to the USA--she lives in Paris as a retiree these days. So what's in a Pinoy party? Food is number one. It is not …
