Last Monday I posted this photo on my other blog wondering, in part, what would become of this. Would we just take it out because it was so overgrown with suckers? Suckers that we've been dealing with for several years now. Trying to keep up after them, ugh. Well, my sweetie does not generally read… Continue reading Garden and Quilting

Tlaquepaque Restaurant – New Rochelle
A Restaurant Review Every once in a while we find a restaurant that just hits the spot for so many reasons. Tlaquepaque is one of those places.
