.#TBT Honoring Father Time this Father's Day @ConexionFlorida June 2020


The article Babushka wrote for the June 2020 edition of Conexion, the bilingual newspaper of N.Florida, S.Alabama and Georgia. If you'd like to read it, the above link will take you to it.


Battleground of the Gods - Father Time Chronos
Battleground of the Gods - Father Time Chronos!

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!
Last month for Dia de Las Madres in May, Babushka shared our mutual Madre, Mother Earth. Seems only fitting that for June, we should speak about our mutual Padre, Father Time. There are many fotos del Father Time, and BB will be sharing some of them at the end, pero considering how 2020 is playing out, this is perfecto. Fijate que el baby, the New Year, is in a bubble… aja, like nosotros (or how debemos estar, en quarantine) , with our eyes closed. No idea how to guard ourselves against this pandemic, but still open arms to what the year brings. This is an illustration for a game that como la vida, has Father Time just throwing us out there. Now, before you think that is said sarcastically, isn’t that what a good padre is supposed to do? To guide and guardar us for the futuro, giving his most and best, then letting us go into el mundo armed with the armor of his amor and best intentions. Symbol of Accion, he showed us the ways of the world, the possibilities e inevitabilities of growing up and growing older.

Growing Older

And like Father Time, our fathers age before our eyes. Nuestros viejos, always a part of us, always their lessons guiding us, even when we become Father Time.

How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme

How very special are we
To have on our fam'ly tree
Mother Earth and Father Time

He turns the seasons around
And so he changes her gown
But they always look in their prime

They go on dancing their dance
Of everlasting romance
Mother Earth and Father Time

The summer larks return the scene
Oh, what a gift they give!
Then autumn days grow short and cold
Oh, what a joy to live!

How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme

How very special are we
To have on our fam'ly tree
Mother Earth and Father Time

And to starting 2020 over con hindsight and foresight.

Babushka Besos a Todos. Cuidensen.


P.S.  After this writing, BB spent time with her father who is in hospice. Please hug your parents tight and let them feel your love. No doubt they did that to you many times. And should they not be near, or on this plane, send them your gratitude and appreciation, and in this way you'll be juntos again.

Bring your trusas, it's the #FindingDory TWEETY FIESTA!!

Promo

Sorry Beautifuls. The #FindingDory TWEETY FIESTA had to be cancelled.  
We kept trying to contact La Guest of Honor, pero...








About Finding Dory

Disney•Pixar's “Finding Dory” welcomes back to the big screen everyone’s favorite forgetful blue tang Dory (voice of Ellen DeGeneres), who’s living happily in the reef with Marlin (voice of Albert Brooks) and Nemo (voice of Hayden Rolence). When Dory suddenly remembers that she has a family out there who may be looking for her, the trio takes off on a life-changing adventure across the ocean to California’s prestigious Marine Life Institute, a rehabilitation center and aquarium. In an effort to find her mom (voice of Diane Keaton) and dad (voice of Eugene Levy), Dory enlists the help of three of the MLI’s most intriguing residents: Hank (voice of Ed O’Neill), a cantankerous octopus who frequently gives employees the slip; Bailey (voice of Ty Burrell), a beluga whale who is convinced his biological sonar skills are on the fritz; and Destiny (voice of Kaitlin Olson), a nearsighted whale shark. Deftly navigating the complex inner workings of the MLI, Dory and her friends discover the magic within their flaws, friendships and family.

Directed by Andrew Stanton (“Finding Nemo,” “WALL•E”), co-directed by Angus MacLane (“Toy Story OF TERROR!”), and produced by Lindsey Collins (co-producer “WALL•E”), Disney•Pixar's “Finding Dory” swims into theaters June 17, 2016.

For more information, like on Feibu, https://www.facebook.com/PixarFindingDory
Tweety: https://twitter.com/findingdory  Instagram: https://instagram.com/DisneyPixar






  • Dory—with more than 25 million—is the most liked individual character from a Disney or Disney•Pixar film.









  • Most probably forgot all about the fiesta...

    and is heading straight to a theater to see #FindingDory -starting this Friday, June 17, 2016.

    Nos vemos there Beautifuls.

    BB Blabs 'Bout 'Buela - Show 4 @Carla_Curiel Creator of @MundoLanugo

    BB Blabs 'Bout 'Buela Show 4 Carla Curiel Mundo Lanugo_Grandparents_Bilingual_earlyed


    HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!

    Show 4 of BB Blabs was a little bit different this time; the guest being interviewed isn't an abuela.
    Pero she invented one of the most charming Grandmothers Babushka has ever met- Doña Antigua.

    La Doña is grandmother to Gloria, a personal friend of BB's, por largo rato.

    Mundo Lanugo Bilingual Biculture Children Spanish Culture Animation Apps

    Years of Amor & Amistad.


    Babushka had to ask Carla what prompted her to add La Doña to the Mundo Lanugo Lineup; what did she see the role of Grandparents being? Inspired como siempre, she touched on families where grandparents are raising their grandchildren (as is the case con Gloria), the different types of abuelas- the ones who were "AbuelaMoms" and the "AbuelaParty". Y si, BB es de the latter.  Pero in whichever group the grandparent is, they are definitely an important and intricate part of la familia.

    To hear the full interview, please click here:




    And here, our true guest of honor esta noche-  Doña Antigua.





    She has so much in common with Babushka! 
    El baile, the way she sings. Quee??  JU SO FONII!!  
    Ok, BB doesn't clean, but besides that the similarities are astounding!  


    Tambien astounding are the wonderful productos, sites & youtubes of Mundo Lanugo.



    So Beautifuls, this BB Blabs y grandma was diferente -
    but then again, if you've been following BB,
    a different kinda grandma is something you're used to.

    History of Fannie May
    • The first Fannie May retail store was opened by H. Teller Archibald in 1920 at 11 N. LaSalle St. in Chicago.
    • During World War II, while other companies chose to change their recipes when ingredients were scarce, Fannie May stuck with its exact recipes, making only what it could which often meant closing shops early because no more candy was available - never was the taste of the candy compromised.
    • In 1946, just after World War II, Fannie May created its most well-known candy to date, the Pixie, by hand-pouring caramel over nuts and then placing them on a conveyor belt to be drenched in chocolate.
    • In the 1970s and 1980s Fannie May continued to develop new candy flavors with the introduction of the Trinidad in 1970 and the creation of Eggnog Creams in 1989.
    • Fannie May is celebrating its 95th anniversary this year!
