Public "Thank You!" to Bruno Mars from (me!) sandra mickanen


 pathway:

i was at my grandson's little league game, and after the game, there was a family with some music playing in the stands nearby

  -had that magnetic beat

so i walked closer..   closer.

then i grabbed my phone, clicked on 'search a song'

up popped Bruno Mars, I Just Might           /should have guessed!

added it to my playlist in record time.    /shesayswithasmile..

****

can't get enough of it..

****

Entourage already includes it in their show!

*****

makes me long, long, long for Barone's Music Under The Stars.   If they were still open..

I KNOW,   I Just Might, would be THAT song..   THE hottest dance song of 2026..

****

as Blurred Lines once was...  as Happy once was..   as Uptown Funk once was...

The songs people can't not dance to..

The songs that pack the dance floor...

*****

"Thank You!"  Bruno Mars   -AGAIN!  for bringing so much JOY to the World..

ENCORE!

****

hallelujah & amen

Best Tacos of our lives! Puesto's in Santa Clara -pathway by sandra mickanen



 path went something like this:

on our return home from puerto rico   [blessed in every way, pix to come];

while at the san jose airport, i perused the literature rack with the curiosity of a tourist; not a local.

and i grabbed a handful of magazines featuring local to me areas; san jose, santa clara, campbell, los gatos..

one of the great results of glancing through each magazine was that i discovered a number of restaurants i had never heard of, or even knew existed..

and so, i tore out a few pages..     with the intent of eventually visiting each restaurant that intrigued me

****

restaurant #1 to visit:   Puesto in Santa Clara

Magazine:  Discover Santa Clara.   Official Visitor Guide.   Pg 40

great write-up by Ivy Morris,   "Thank You!"

****

MAGICAL FLAVORS.. 

best tacos of our lives!  based on the article, we ordered the 

filet mignon taco,   -sublime!   w/avocado, pistachio serrano salsa

 lobster taco ...  w/jalapeno pico, black bean sauce, avocado, crispy fried onions..

 tamarindo shrimp..   crispy shrimp, tamarindo chile sauce, cilantro

  each with their signature blue corn tortillas   ~crispy cheese..

Paired perfectly with their Hot Sauce Margarita...  

****

loved every beautiful, remarkable, tasty bite...      and tuesday is 1/2 off all tacos!  3p to close.. 

****

Excellent, personalized service, "Thank You!" here to Josiah 

and, true to our generation's etiquette,   [Dr Rick commercial here...] 

we could not leave without introducing ourselves to the manager

Zachary Crum,

and vocalizing our utter delight with the whole experience.

******

We will be back;

and we will bring family & friends...

****

"Thank You!" prayers and community tithing

hallelujah & amen!
