Good morning darlings!  A rainy Monday, May 10 awaits us after a fabulous sunny Mother's Day Weekend! Let your smile be your umbrella during these rainy days. Celebrate the rain; it only means that the sun shall shine bigger and brighter than ever.

Darlings, I hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day weekend. I invited a few friends and my brother to a B-B-Q in which we celebrated Mother's Day and honor our beloved departed Mother. My cousin Angela Suarez who I been blessed to be treated as a mother by her posted this beautiful Facebook: 
Happy Mother’s Day to all the women in the world who even if they don’t have kids, have been a mother to others, Margarita Bergen, Isabel Yermenos.  And also specifically to mommies pets because Pets give their entire heart ❤️ 🐕to their mommies.. and if they cross the rainbow 🌈 bridge, they for sure take their mommy’s heart ❤️ with them.
As almost every Friday, I got together with friends at Gaaltoire's followed by the opening of Patrick's Bar and Vin.
