HolaHolaHola Beautifuls! 

End of Julio and still no hay final to this Corona Catastrophe. 

This is dedicated to The Grands, in particular the dos mas viejo, El Dr. and PicaPica. 

Pandemic Panic is tolerable if we learn to say JU SO FONII to current conditions and remember to find the humor in cosas. For BB's parte, this week we see how even the muñequitos are marchando with the worldwide waltz.

At first BB didn't get this one...

but then got such ganas to go on a trip!!

Sadly, so true!

Even sadder. At least they're trying to educate the youngsters...

Ahora, let's go to something more BB's style-

Jasmine es Bella no Boba.

Washing Manos, definitivamente the Bare Necessities.

Y si, BB had to.  😉

And speaking of bears...

As for Casa BB...

Babushka lives on Level 2, aunque the other niveles do pop up sometimes.

And you Beautifuls?? What Level are you living?

Whichever it is, know there is ALWAYS 

something to smile about.

Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.

July 2020

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Bienvenidos to another edition of Sunday Smiles. Unfortunately we're still dealing with the pandemic and if your state is like BB's querido Florida, things are gonna get worse before they get better. So, let's put on a happy face with some risas shall we?  Let' go shopping!!!

Shopping has become quite an experience. Anyone else finding it dificil to follow which way to go in stores?  Glad the next one is just a joke. So far...

More from the shopping scene...

Careful out there con las compras Beautifuls!

Because we know they must be made. 

So remember-

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Babushka always has a very busy June, full of birthdays and celebraciones.  That got BB thinking de all the Cumples during the time of Corona.  Not celebrate that?? JU SO FONII!! But of course, let's get those smiles y happy vibraciones going for a day that's sure to be remembered as- "When Granny had a Pandemic Party!"

TP seems to be a recurring bday theme. Wonder if  Party City knows?

jehe Definitivamente a cake Sweetie would have loved.

Chocolate & Fruta. BB says Si!!

Ok, Babushka gets it. So saliva doesn't spray, pero honestamente,

 since hitting 50 that's the only way BB can blow out all the candles on her bday...

And no fiesta would be completo sans invitados...

All kidding aside, this will be a memorable year and bday for many, and that's not a bad thing.  Communities have started Happy Bday Honk Drive Bys -

And young adults are reflecting and realizing what's really the thing to focus on...

Never in a million years would I’ve imagined myself celebrating my 21st birthday quarantined in my home. 

However, during my birthday I took the time to reflect and learned some lessons that’ll help me understand how life works.https://t.co/V2u6G1O0dr

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Can you believe mañana is the first day of June already?  And still doing the Corona Conga.  

Bueno, it's like Babushka has always said... doesn't matter what music is playing,

 ya gotta find your own steps and dance.

And still there are those who think this fact, no fonii...

Casa BB has a thermometer. Hasn't had a scale in years.

Would love to pensar they are taking them from the trash, not the roads y streets...

BB go out now like before? JU SO FONII!!

Ahora, eso si Beautifuls, if you do decide to venture out more,

a little dance to remind you of the musica playing-

A BAILAR SE HA DICHO!!

Babushka Besos a Todos.  Cuidensen.

Sunday Smiles #COVID19 #JUSOFONII #ComicRelief *5.17.2020

Day XXX of COVID19 has us looking like...

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Between the pollen and pandemic, most of us are looking like esto.  Poco a poco, little by little, restrictions are being lifted. Bueno o malo, we shall see, pero in the meanwhile,

Let Us Laugh.

#Truth

And this is why beauty parlor restrictions have been lifted. 

Apparently they are essential businesses.

Esta Abuela Aventurera had this very hallucination during quarantine.

Gracias to Mommy Mafia Miami Babushka will remember to be a Good Neighbor and stay en casa.

BB shares a little love between the laughter.

Porque this not have a positive side?

JU SO FONII!!

Babushka Besos a Todos.  Cuidensen.

Sunday Smiles #COVID19 #JUSOFONII #ComicRelief *5.3.2020

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

 No se what day we're on in the US pandemic quarantine, pero we're on edition #5 of Sunday Smiles.  Although BB wishes we didn't have a #COVID19 tema, Babushka's glad not everyone is doom and gloom. Here we're Hola JaHa's porque honestly, isn't that better??

NOT being political, just clarifying...

Classes online

Who says horoscopes aren't for real??

Now you KNOW BB had to include este right?

and after that, all that's left to say es-

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.

This Abril, Don't Be a Fool. #TBT @ConexionFlorida April 2020

#TBT This was originally posted in the April Edition of Conexion , a bilingual newspaper BB has been contributing to for the past 5 years. So to those who think there are no Hispanics up in the Florida panhandle... JU SO FONII!!!

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

This Corona Virus is no joke. Y’all know Babushka sees the humor in almost everything, but the sickness,suffering and deaths no es nada comico. Hopefully by now everyone is taking this seriously and staying home as much as possible, and for those of you who are still doubting the severity of the situacion, aqui is a graph, as of April 1, of reported cases in the US. Notice EVERY SINGLE STATE has reported casos.


Ahora eso si, we Latinos are definitely a touchy feely, give me a hug kinda gente, so it may be hard to convince your loved ones to follow social distancing.  BB knows and understands that and likes the way the #WeAllGrow Latina Community shared suggestions on this topic.  The following was shared-

They also gave a heads up, saying our loved ones may not appreciate us taking the role of caregiver, so these are their suggested ways of engaging on the subject.

1. “Make it emotional and personal so that your parents want to protect people. Tell them you hope people are being careful around an elderly neighbor, or mention an immuno-compromised friend who ends up in the hospital all the time.
2. Find a role model they respect who’s doing the right things.”

Not a conversation to go into lightly, so be forewarned and forarmed. 

Now, just because the situation isn’t fonii, it doesn’t mean it’s without merit. En Diciembre 2019 (which seems at times like siglos ago) BB shared a stress releaser. “The above activity will help you see and hopefully focus on what your priorities are and or should be.” Babushka will share the link at the end of this article, but en resumen, stop and see what are your true necessities, your true blessings. No doubt you’ll be able to see them mejor ahora que tienes el tiempo.

As always, como siempre-

Babushka Besos a Todos. Cuidensen.

Right?? Hold on, May is coming...

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

So, estamos on #COVID19 day... don't know, don't remember...

pero just because we can't keep track, doesn't mean we can't keep laughing!

 Some more memes to share the merry:

 Pretty soon beauty salons will be deemed "essential businesses".

Anyone still having problemas finding tp??

Eso. 👍

Baby Boomers, bet you're humming that tune right now...

Here's otro tune you'll be humming to soon enough.

Optimism Is Contagious - by Harold Payne. Video by Jeff Long and Sandy Pedeflous.

Y cuando the singing turns into solemn silencio, you aren't alone.

Join in Babushka's Battle Cry-

Life~ JU SO FONII!!!

BB promises you, you'll feel much better.

Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls! 

Because we are still in quarantine and could use some cheer and laughs, Babushka has decided to continue what she did dos Domingos atras, and for Easter. This will be Sunday Smiles #COVID19 Edition. Hopefully they will bring some chuckles and raise animos y vibes un poquito.

Soooo... What will it be hoy???

Si, LYFT is a little slow right now...

BB knows she's not sola on this one!

jehe 
Babushka made that one extra grande for us Boomers who are singing along.

Y since we're doing oldies...

Not making light, just trying to spread some light.

Babushka knows all will be bien al final.

Porque 

Life~ JU SO FONII!!

Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.

Smiling on Easter Sunday. #Covid19 #ComicRelief

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

On April 1, BB decided to put together  Corona Virus memes that were circulando to help lighten up moods del subject. Went so well, that as long as 19 is doing the rounds, Babushka will help make y'alls baile a little lighter. Shall we laugh??

Heart and Humor

BB's amigos of the TLH- Tallahassee Hispanic Theater , sent this out in the morning. 

Ejemplo of why they are so querido. 

Maybe Babushka should have titled este as "Easter 2020".

From the Feibu pagina- Grandparents and Grandkids

and speaking de abuelas...

Saben what makes this even fonnier?

 BB had just told MLO that 1st thing en the morning

 she was hitting the Dollar Tree for those 1/2 off Easter Marshmallow Bunnies.

Ahora the next 2 Babushka shares with no disrespect intended, es mas,

 Dios has to have a sentido de humor if he made us verdad??

What the Last Supper via Zoom would look like.

Sin Palabras.

Today's celebracion is a very timely message of faith 

and the believing of resurrection for a better mundo. Let us raise hope and consciousness...

So, get your perspective, your positivity, and your patience and recuerden to say with a sonrisa-

Life~ JU SO FONII!!

Mil Babushka Besos to you Beautifuls.

Cuidensen.
