Hello Blogger family,
Miss you guys!
I was in sunny California and Arizona for a week so these are the pictures I've taken during my trip. I did get a chance to paint one canvas which is pic #1, I also got to help my mother make her delicious upside down cake, yummy, and she puts rum in it. My mother is pictured below with my 8 year old daughter, I know I don't talk much about my little girl. She is a handful of blessings and our trip was fabulous. Arizona is a bit slow with not much to do besides shopping and eating, lol. The pic with the palm trees is Woodland Hills area in California, the building is where I used to live with my mom, brother and sister back in my high school days. The Betty Boop pic I drew in my art class my senior year in high school, I completely forgot about this black art book which I had left at my mom's house, it bought back a lot of memories.
I do miss Cali sometimes, especially the food. I did get to indulge in my In n' Out Burger with their addicting vanilla milk shake and also El Pollo Loco, I love their wings. In a blink of an eye it was already time to head back to NY. 
Lyrics, poetry and art all meshed together

You have such a beautiful daughter LY! And your mom too! Happy to know that you've enjoyed your holiday :) and even happier to see your new painting! Very vibrant! I really hope to see more (and also your sketches too? Really would love to have a look! )
When you live so far from home its always a bag full of memories when you get to go back. I've been back to Detroit twice in the last few weeks and have another trip planned in three weeks (all to check on my dad) - but each time I go back I get to see another part of the 'hood that I spent so many years in.
Looks like you had a great time. That cake looks SO yummy!!!
