ANTONIO'S MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADUATION!

On June 13th, 2026, my grandson Antonio Llera graduated from Middle School and started his journey into High School. We celebrated all day long and it was a memorable event for our entire family! Congratulations, Antonio on a great job well done!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL!

Allana, my daughter by choice is celebrating her birthday today and I couldn't be happier for her! Happy, happy birthday my dear, sweet and lovable girl! I love you with all my heart!!!

IT'S NICE TO GO TRAV'LING!

Spent three weeks with my chosen daughter Allana and her four kids at Boerne, Texas. We had a wonderful time in spite of the freezing cold weather they were facing there.  As always, I was deeply saddened when we had to part ways although the trip provided me with some priceless and memorable moments. Time to be flying home came all too soon and I brought back great memories spent with my family there. 

And just like Sinatra said in a song: "It's very nice to go trav'ling but it's, oh, so nice to come home!"

Almudena, My Dear Beautiful Granddaughter Is Celebrating Her 7th Birthday Today!

Almudena is the loveliest, sweetest and prettiest girl you can ever hope to meet. I love her deeply and she is the youngest of my two only granddaughters.  She loves to read, attending her dance classes, practicing gymnastics and playing board games, among many other interests. My life is brighter and happier since she became part of my family. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DEAR ALMUDENA!

My Son Ricardo's Birthday Celebration!

One of my son's all-time favorite movies is CREEPSHOW (1982) and since his birthday falls right on the Halloween month of October, I saw fitting to send him this Two-Celebrations-in-One Birthday Card.

My son Ricardo's Birthday!

And it's here again, my son Ricardo's Birthday! It's been quite a ride since that cloudy day back in 1973 when I rushed his mom to the hospital and awaited the arrival of my first (and only) son who has been my pride and joy for more than 51 years! Have a great day, kid!

Today is my dear girl Allana's Birthday!

Sometimes people come into your life unexpectedly and without warning, but when you are destined to share your life with them, you embrace the opportunity without even thinking. It all comes together effortlessly and with total commitment. Allana became the daughter I always wish I had. My life has become better, happier and more meaningful since she came into it. Happy birthday and many happy returns, my dear Allana!
