BIRTH CERTIFICATE CHECK

My Grandson Antonio is Celebrating his 14th Birthday today!!

What can you say to a growing boy on his 14th birthday? There are so many things you want to share with him and you seem to be short on words but never on feelings.  All I can say to him is that these fourteen years since he was born have made my life so much brighter and joyful and I thank God for his existence. Please, Antonio, never forget how much I love you. Happy 14th Birthday! Another year older, another reason to be proud of you!

CAR, CAR, WHERE IS MY CAR?

THE MODERN AMERICAN SCHOOL ACCORDION BAND

Rummaging through my ancient dust covered photo albums for whatever reason, I came across this nostalgic picture. This is the Accordion Band that once played at the Manuel M. Ponce Hall of the

 Fine Arts Palace in Mexico City, conducted by Miss Ann Pertack Raush, way back in the early sixties. 

My sister and I are in this photo. Where?  There!

Is there still an accordion band at this school?  As Mick Jagger said about The Rutles, I hope not!

OSCAR NIGHT 2026

This is what happens when old geezers like me watch the Oscars when you haven't seen any of the nominated films and you couldn't care less about the nominees. ( Thank God for Marilyn Monroe!)

WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES!

My son Ricardo is celebrating two Wedding Anniversaries this month: His Civil Wedding on March 11, 2009, and his Church Wedding on March 13, 2010.    All in all, I'm celebrating his 17h Wedding Anniversary which hopefully will keep repeating every forthcoming year.  Sending a big hug and congratulations to Rich and Gilda!

MORE WORDS TO LIVE BY!

WHEN SHOULD YOU THROW AWAY A PERFECTLY GOOD SUIT?

Even a "perfectly good" suit should be retired or thrown away when it is no longer structurally sound, no longer fits your body, or is severely out of style. A well-maintained, high-quality suit typically lasts between five and fifteen years.
