My wonderful son Tim with his awesome wife Marta.

Answer: You combine them & get Cinco De Madre!!


Ok, its silly, but I'm silly & so is my son… so it works for us!!


My son & I moved to Minnesota from the San Diego area about 15 years ago, and we have strong family ties to that area… in addition our family also has ties to Mexico (some relatives are Mexican citizens & some are of Mexican descent)…

Me & my amazing hubby Jeff

There is a restaurant in St Paul that I discovered while living nearby, La Cucaracha, that reminds me of the good Mexican restaurants back home… you know, the ones that have colorful decor & awesome food.  The food reminds me of some of the things my Grandma, who lived in Mexico off & on for several years, would cook.  Yum!!
