Gracias Tio Sam. #Repost A Sentiment worth repeating.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!  
This was a post originally written in 2012, reposted in 2015 as front story for Conexion, and TBT in 2020 here on the blog. Despite recent events of laws being overturned and laws that need to be inacted, USA is casa, and BB is so very thankful that she can say that.

Thank You USA Statue of Liberty

If you've been following Babushka you know I'm all about the positive, wonderful things in life. So if you think this is a political statement JU SO FONII!!! Ok, si, maybe a little, but mainly it's about gratitude. Gratitude to a country that welcomed and still welcomes my people from Cuba.
Mil Gracias to you mi querido USA,
 for as a first generation Cuban American I can never say it enough.

 BB knows what her fate would have been if you hadn't welcomed her family.

Groovy Spanglish speaking Grandma of 6 who loves life and all its adventures. Motivational while still keeping it real, Babushka shows how all things looked at with gratitude are good, and how to say to la vida- JU SO FONII!!!
