Just a sampling of the fun and special moments in the last 4 years.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

The following is BB's first blog post; it was written on August 3, 2011. Si Beautifuls, it's been 4 años. Wow and Woah. A lot has happened in the course of those years. The family has gotten older, there have been marriages and there are new grandbabies. Mucho memories made and new friends along the way. For those dancing for the first time with Babushka, hope you enjoy BB's dance steps, and for those who are regulars on the dance card- A BAILAR SE HA DICHO!!

Hola- or as we say around here, "Howdy". Yep, Babushka's in "The South", which is funny if you think about it, because I spent most of my life in South Florida (Miami) which is further South than here, yet it's NEVER considered part of "The South". North Havana maybe, but never "The South". But I go off topic... get used to it- it's one of my many talents.

Babushka, full name Bohemian Babushka, BB if I like you, or THE Bohemian Babushka if I don't, has had in my 49 years, 2 marriages, 2 divorces, ____ lovers (being presently in "The South" I fall back on the Southern Belle's code of propriety and leave that blank, instead of a Miami "¿ Y Santa quien? ) many jobs, many businesses, many heartaches, but many heart sings as well. Of course my Number One heart sings are my children. Si, they also gave me heartache, but we all made it through puberty so, why dwell on that? Borron y cuenta nueva. My trio are my rocks- ok, at times rocks in/at the head, but again- why dwell on that? My rocks, my reason for being (being crazy- sorry, beginning to dwell on that), my joys my true loves. Until the grandchildren came into the picture. Not that my trio aren't my true loves anymore, it's just that grandbabies are so tiny, so precious, and still so far away from puberty. Ok, I'm dwelling- ever heard of shellshock?

Grandbabies- I've got 4 so far. I say "so far" because my eldest ( a 26 yr old beauty) has 2- a boy and a girl.; my son (a 25 yr old ex-Marine who has done his mom proud in so many ways) has 2 boys and my little one (19 yr old intense yet sweet girl/woman who is striking, intelligent, gifted and better not be thinking of making babies yet) are still young enough to add to the family. But not right now- por fa. Let BB enjoy people saying "but you look so young to be a grandmother!" a little longer. While I can still semi believe them.

Babushka has enjoyed this immensely and hopes you will dance with me again. This has been but a little tease of who I am. Tease- reminds me of my high school days, but again I'm going off topic. (such talent!) My blog will be on family,being female, being bilingual, being human -while always being brilliant.

And to those who don't understand YOUR brilliance, just look at them, smile, and say-
JU SO FONII !!!
