¡Oh sí liar!

I love hanging out with musicians. I love listening to live music. There is something really cool about watching and listening to a band that has been together for a while. They have a certain way of non-verbally communicating with each other that makes the music that much more… Continue

Thoughts of my father always loom heavily this time of year for me. May 4th would have been his 79th birthday. As I was driving down Fourth Street last week, I remembered the barber shop my father used to go to get his hair cut. You see, my dad had the most glorious head of… Continue

Inspiration
Sometimes inspiration comes to us in curious ways. I’m always inspired by my city. It offers such a deep, rich history and also wonderful stories of characters past and present. What are most inspiring to me are the wonderful people I have had the hon… Continue

Every time I do one of these "Where in Burque" posts, I swear it will be the last one. Then I notice something cool, pull out the camera and have to do a whole new one. I didn't really have a theme for this one, hence the randomness of the photos. I have to give credit to my ea… Continue

My mother put a new door in her den and said that I could have the old one to use when I remodel my house. I love this door. The door itself is plain, but solid, and has the most outrageous hammered iron embellishments. I can't wait to use it in my house.

I love a beautiful door… Continue

I met the coolest man in my neighborhood. Thanks to my neighbor Candice, I was introduced to Reuben Aragon. Reuben has been a resident of… Continue

My neighbor Candice lives in the old San Isidro Church that is not far from my house. Since I was a little girl, I'd been curious that someone actually lived in an old church. Candice and I met in an odd way – she was searching for images of the church on the internet and… Continue

Is there anyone out there that still believes art should not be part of basic school curriculum? I certainly hope not! Art – and music – can easily be part of any literature, math or science lesson. One of the finest examples of art intersecting with science is a program called P… Continue

While rushing around Christmas shopping, doing errands and meeting up with old friends, my daughter and I had to take pictures of some cool things we saw along the way. For those of you newbies not familiar with these posts,… Continue

I haven’t exactly had the holiday spirit in me lately. Usually by this time I have my tree up and decorated, all the presents purchased and wrapped and all my baking complete. Things are a little crazy for me right now, but I think there’s still time to get in the… Continue

Back in 1973 when I was 11 years old, I fell in love. It’s a love that has never waned. I was sitting in a movie theater here in Burque watching American Graffiti when love found me. No, it wasn’t a schoolgirl cr… Continue

Love at first sight. Does it really happen? If you don’t believe that it does, then I suggest you keep reading. In 1917 a young man by the name of Tommy attended school in the tiny town of Hydro, Oklahoma. It was there he was introduced to and fell in love with Miss Mura. Tommy… Continue

What an unbelievably historic election!!! Throughout the night I thought about my personal political journey, my belief system and values. You could say that my beliefs were literally formed around the kitchen table. I thought about what… Continue

A dear, sweet co-worker is moving back to his hometown of Houston. Since he and his wife have two gorgeous new babies, they decided they needed to be closer to family. While getting his… Continue

It's frustrating to get lost in the city where you grew up. I had to go to a co-worker's house in an area of town that I'm not that familiar with. Even though he gave me great directions, I turned down the wrong street. I found myself in an area where all the houses looked the sam… Continue
