May 5, 2018 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

Today is May 5th, Cinco de Mayo, which will be celebrated throughout the country as some sort of universal Latino holiday. The revelry started last Friday in many cities, with the mistaken thought that they are celebrating Mexican Independence Day. There are parties and festivals and awards and happy hours and special dishes and discounts […]

Ringing in the new year: 2018

January 2, 2018 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that updates to Hispanic Houston have been sparse in the past few months … in all of 2017. As we celebrate the new year, I’ve realized that I miss writing for this site. I’ve realized that I miss the interactions that this site can generate. It’s been fun … and I miss […]

46 inches of rain

August 29, 2017 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

On Friday, we knew that that Hurricane Harvey had made landfall in Texas, but we thought we had some time before its effects would be felt in the Houston area. So, in a (now clear) moment of arrogance, we drove over to check on my mother before “it got bad.” My mother lives with my […]

Happy Father’s Day!

June 18, 2017 by Sandra Fernandez 2 Comments

Wishing all of you a wonderful Father’s Day. Although it’s been more than 10 years since my Father passed away, I still think of him throughout the year … and especially during special days.
