J Yee smart chick says:Ivy, such a way relaxing and serene Pick with all the lovely new blue owyhee opal, sodalite and chalcedony, where’s my pillow and blanket??? another FAV!!!
On Jun 05, 2009 at 1:21 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Hey Joyce! The blue owyhee opal is what actually inspired this pick cuz it reminded me of a clear, blue, summer sky. Gotta get it in my next order! That is, if I still have any $ left in my account! LOL!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Ivy, this went straight into my faves! What a gorgeous, soothing combo of colors you’ve chosen! I love them all! What a contrast to the red poppies — a soft, blue sky! You’re hot today!

Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Such very pretty calming blues! Very Aptly named!

Chicky Bear-Tara says:This is so beautiful. It makes me think of a clear summer sky!
On Jun 05, 2009 at 1:27 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Thanks Chicky LE and Bubbly Chick!
I must be unconsciously acting out my desire to be outside in the nice weather (in a poppy field under a tranquil sky, perhaps? lol) since it’s kinda gray and blah here today.
On Jun 05, 2009 at 1:28 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Thanks Chicky Bear! LOVE your picture, btw!
On Jun 05, 2009 at 1:29 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Sorry it’s blah there today, Ivy. Maybe it is your subconscious at work! How’s your restaurant business doing?
On Jun 05, 2009 at 1:36 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:We’re doing good, thanks. We’re only open on the weekends though because we’re located in a marina and most of our customers are boaters up for the weekend. Today doesn’t look so great for business but tomorrow and Sunday it’s supposed to be in the 80′s and the past few weekends we did great.
On Jun 05, 2009 at 1:40 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Glad to hear business is good! That makes sense to only be open on weekends now. Will that change in the summertime?
On Jun 05, 2009 at 1:52 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:No, it’s a weekend-only thing cuz come Monday all the boaters are gone. But we do enough business during the weekend to make up for the week and we have a deli that’s open 7 days as backup, too. (My husband is a very busy man but somehow manages to spend lots of time with the family which I love about him!)
On Jun 05, 2009 at 1:54 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Oh, great — I didn’t know about your deli! Is it in the same town/city where you live as the new restaurant? Does your hubby do all the cooking at both places?
On Jun 05, 2009 at 1:54 pm #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:FAV!
Such beautiful blues…aahhhhhhh!!!!
On Jun 05, 2009 at 3:21 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Lynn, yeah the deli is also in Kingston (about 7 min. from the Oasis) and yes he does almost all the cooking in both places. We have employees that work in the deli but it is SO, so hard to find good employees that are honest and hard-working.
Thanks, Harriet!
On Jun 05, 2009 at 3:23 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I’m sure it is hard re: the employee situation. It must keep your husband super-busy. Do you work at the deli, too? I know you have young children — Antonio just turned 1 — and you have another son and a daughter, is that right?
On Jun 05, 2009 at 3:34 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Yup, three little rugrats! LOL No, I don’t work at the deli, I am a stay-at-home mom and I love it. Adrian and Alicia are in school during the day while I watch Antonio. I’m thinking about working at the restaurant on the weekends though, as long as it’s worth it to pay the babysitter. Well, gotta go, I’m about to drive down to the city. Talk to you tomorrow! Have a great weekend!
On Jun 05, 2009 at 3:36 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:It was fun talking to you Ivy! You are very blessed to be able to stay home with your precious angels! Have a wonderful weekend! Talk to you later!

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Beautiful pick Ivy! I was thinking that you are all over the picks today, too! Red hot to cool & quiet! You are quite versatile! Nice reading about your family & business too, you are a lucky lady!

ChickyD aka Debra says:Beautiful pick, as usual, Cuban Queen! I noticed you have a different picture by your name. What inspired the change?

KPJEWELS says:Gorgeous. Into my favs.

Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Thank you Lori, Debra, and 3K! Chicky D, no particular reason, I just like to switch things up a lot, whether it’s my avatar pic or which route I take driving home from somewhere…I just love change.
