LUSO NEWCASTLE VISIT

As I get ready to move into another weekend of travel and my #LusoLife I have to remember my last visit in Newcastle. (I'm slacking here). I took my dads advice and headed up to Roseville on Saturday evening, spent some time at #ThunderValleyCasino, came back to the hotel with a whopping .77 cents (lets not talk about what I lost lol) and then vegged out until Sunday morning. 

I have to say that as I drive around California I have come to love these small towns and these historic buildings!!! We had the Newcastle Visit at the Newcastle Portuguese Hall that was built in 1918. What a treasure this building is!!

Its always a pleasure to arrive at visits and see familiar faces. Past Presidents, line officers and simply members that have known you since you were a kid. I grew up with some of the adult members of this council and have watched some of them grow up in other councils. Thank you Newcastle for the lovely afternoon filled with friendships and laughter, the delicious cake, dinner and flowers. BTW I love love the scentsy crown that we were given. Love it!!

To the Newcastle Youth Council... Keep it up, work hard and continue to do what you do best. Silvia Soares i don't know how you treck up there during the summer months for Luso practice but keep up the good work and holding on to our traditions!!! Can't wait to see what you guys bring to the table this year at the convention!!!!!

Thank you to Frankie Trovao and his family, Ethan Vieira and his parents and everyone else who spent the afternoon with us. These memories will be forever held dear to my heart!

See you all at the next visit..

#RIPTigerBaby

Never thought that I would be so upset that I was losing my durango.. but I have been.. such an emotional thing for a materialistic piece of my life. its just a car.. but its part of a time of my life where I made big changes, bought the car, bought my home and got my puppy. of those 3 Diva is my last piece of that period.. My car signified some independence, it was mine, no payments, no anything. Now until I can decide what I want and afford I'm at the mercy (and thankful I have the opportunity).. of my parents and borrowing their car. 

with that.. #RIPTGRBBY you were my favorite car, took me everywhere and we had some wonderful memories.. I'm sorry I didn't take better care of you...
