Like mommies and daddies and
strawberries and cream…
they go together.”

The Three Amigos in Downtown Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Dining Outside the Home: The Three Amigos in Downtown Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! Authentic Mexican food is as festive as Mexican blankets, wide-rimmed sombreros, and multicolored piñatas. The “Daily Special” boasted Fajitas Al Pastor—crispy chunks of marinated pork cooked with onions and green pepper strips served on a sizzling skillet. Homemade corn tortillas accompanied sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. We ordered a side of refried beans to use as a binding agent once the shells were filled. The finishing touch of habanero sauce sealed the deal with a nice kick of spice. An agave nectar margarita cocktail culminated the entire meal. Bueno!
More Than an Ornament
“The Church knew what the
psalmist knew: Music praises God.
Music is well or better able
to praise him than the building
of the church and all is decoration;
it is the Church’s greatest ornament.”
~ Igor Stravinsky

“What the Beatles did was
something incredible; it was more
than what a band could do.
We have to give them respect.”

In Search of The White Rabbit
It may not be Treasure Island, but the magic still engulfs all who venture here. An unforeseen scavenger hunt for The White Rabbit of Jefferson Airplane fame continues to “pop up” in bewilderment. Is this Wonderland? Follow me down the rabbit hole through the tree tunnel and see where immortality and mystification thrive. “When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go…” dare you stick your neck out in a psychedelic haze? The fantasy mushrooms, for those who choose to see it. Do you accept the challenge?
Climb Into the Sleigh

over this world, and behold,
everything is softer
and more beautiful.”
