Ballet Arizona’s “Frida" capped a weekend of love: Love for comunidad y mi amor. Valentine's dinner with hubz was tasty. In Phoenix, caught the ballet which included Chavela Vargas songs. At the Arizona Latino Art and Cultural Center, I had a moment with Frida. Belated feliz día de San Valentín. ❤️❤️❤️
