Proud of #PrideMonth y @TallyPride

Cover from Tallahassee PrideFest Feibu page

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!
Ya estamos en Junio, half a year already. BB running on Cubantime on her posts, but this is a cause and occasion too dear to let go by sin a mention and a hug.  Este mes is Pride Month, and if you think Babushka is pasandolo without a post, JU SO FONII!!! Este post is dedicated to all the LGBT amigos del pasado, presente y futuro and a todos who love them.

The Tallahassee PrideFest took place in April, bold y bello, just like the Beautifuls who organized and participated in it.  Naturalmente BB was too busy enjoying the festival to take many fotos, pero aqui are some of the highlights.

Feliz that the importance of self care, health in all aspects, was stressed. Kudos to local organizations and government for having booths, especially in a community with so many young adults. Only thing missing was the info in Spanish. Hopefully BB's suggestion on this will be implemented.

Pero of course, el "FanMan" has to be highlighted.

Y aunque  Babushka doesn't push her political views or beliefs, esto is a definite Eso!!
Equality Florida

To continue in this vein, let BB add the religious/spiritual tambien.  Having attended services where homosexuality was criticized, it brought relief and tears to the ojos to see churches believe and broadcast universal love.




Also sharing Amor,


Because al final Beautifuls, isn't that what it's all about? 
Porque al final, that's all we have.
And Love, is Love, is Love, is Love.

Politics & Play in Florida's Capitol- a la BB. #iHeartTally

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

No se ustedes, pero are y'all already running ragged? Or maybe supercharged?  How about getting dizzy from the pendulum swing entre los dos? 2016 and the S Sisters. Wow and woah. This was just one day in the states captol.




BB was up at 7 am; you KNOW it’s important for that to happen!

Tallahassee is Florida’s state capitol, and it has a feeling all its’ own. A place for laws, but also for laughter and lovely loitering amongst the history surrounding it.

Finally the #WeAreFlorida group, over 500 strong rallied at the New Capitol to state their case.

How wonderful to live in a country where we can do this peacefully. Even more wonderful when it’s done in such a beautiful setting.

Pero after that rally, BB needed to relax- and she knew exactly where she needed to go inTally to do just that. Right in the middle of the ciudad. Bella Lake Ella. Where ducks and decompression rule.

While there, my friend Maria Ortiz, founder/editor of Cultura Latina Magazine, introduced me to a local secret- a secret that’s been happening every Wednesday for the last 12 years, rain or shine.

Organized by Jennifer Taylor, Ph.D., Coordinator of the statewide Small Farm Program of FAMU, these local farmers share their best with Tallahassee.  Fresh from their farms, beehives, gardens, this group is friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable on their wares,wears, and whereabouts. Their products, handmade apparel,farm lore and histories were shared with candor, y Babushka learned and laughed mucho during my short time with them.

Pero, it was getting late, BB had started early, and it was time to go back home to Sweetie.  Ahora, y'all who know Babushka knows this isn't the typical day, this getting up early, rallying, health foods. So, where is the "a la BB" part del titulo?
