Golden Visions: New Works by the Bihl Haus Goldens
Reception: May 18th, 6-8 pm
@ CAFE TUTTI, 1933 Fredericksburg Road
The Bihl Haus Goldens (seniors enrolled in our GO! Arts Program) cordially invite you to GOLDEN VISIONS, an exhibit of new art and literary works they’ve created over the last year. The exhibit is currently on view at CAFE TUTTI, 1933 Fredericksburg Road. So, pop into this new coffee shop in the Deco District for some freshly brewed coffee and a yummy made-to-order sandwich or home-baked pastry, and enjoy a year’s worth of the fruits of the Goldens’ artistic labors. You’re also invited to the reception at Cafe Tutti on Friday, May 18th, from 6 to 8 pm.
You already know many of the Goldens–they staff the gallery, greet you at the door, serve food and wine, and help make Bihl Haus, well, Bihl Home! So, come show your support, enjoy some terrific art and visit a great local business all at the same time!
Hope to see you at Cafe Tutti soon!

Waiting for Snow-San Antonio Style
28 degrees, feels like 14 or below
Dashing back and forth,
Through an eventful portal,
Between cozy warmth and cold.
Outdoors,
Anticipation of silky white,
A gift of manna to my Texas soul.
Now entering my kitchen,
Sacred, lit and smelling sweet,
Memories embrace me
Of Mamí and robust pots
Simmering on her stove.
Winter’s destination is her table,
Where countless stories are retold.
And Caldo is served.
Yes!
This is Caldo weather.
Warming the Taste bud as it encounters
El primer bocado, the first spoonful,
¡Que rico! a tangy danza with
Papas, carrots, Carne, corn,
Repollo, y lots more.
Accompanied by a timely squeeze of citrus flavor, to cut the grease,
For who can eat this tasty concoction without
Lemons and cilantro
Hot corn tortillas, hand-rolled.
5:35 p.m.
Something cool is coming down.
No, I’m not Dreaming,
Cool breath of tiny slivers soothes me.
Can anything be more welcome,
Than these early messengers of San Antonio snow.
And the hot aroma of caldo beckoning in my kitchen,
tempting palate,
To savor it once more.
Just hope I’m not sleeping,
When the Event unfolds.

Family Adventures
Ana’s invitation, “Get yourself over here!” gets me out of the house fast. ‘Here’ is Sonic where we gather to eat and it’s our departure point for another adventure.
Ana gathers her brood: which includes me (her older sister-but hey, not too old to have fun!), Genesis (her granddaughter), and Gen’s dad, Jesse with Sarah and
David joins us too with his beautiful girlfriend. Our caravan takes us to…
The Witte!!! for a
Blast from the Past in the Future! with the Dinos…and royalty….
Ana comes face to face with a blast from the past!
See what happens when you just want to have fun?
Stay tuned…
Every artist is in high demand!

Reliving the past with the dinosaurs gets us pretty hungry, so off we go, crossing the busy street (at the light, of course!) towards the Mexican-Food that awaits us.
Opting to sit outside and enjoy a sunny breeze, Ramon David, my highly artistic nephew, responds to my request to draw an “I’m Out-of-Here-Saurus!”
What better venue to create than on the back of a Witte Museum paper bag?
The newly discovered dinosaur, by yours-truly’s faint imagination after a visit to the Witte Museum Dinosaur Exhibit, is brought to life by a skilled artist on the move towards stardom.
San Antonio Artists….yes!
