I’ll be going to Puerto Rico next week for a big family event! And of course we decided to go because why would we not go to Puerto Rico?! We’ll be gone for a week and I can’t wait. The sun, the beach, the family party! Tons of fun. I think I’m going to take Rob to do more sightseeing. The last few years when we’ve gone down there we usually stay in the San Juan area. I want him to see more of the island.
So we’re going to the beautiful and historic city of Ponce and staying with a cousin for a couple of days. Hopefully we’ll get to the beach condo in Arecibo. And I’m wondering if we’ll have time to see the Arecibo Observatory [wikipedia link]. He’s never been there and I haven’t been there in years.
After all, we do want to relax as well. Oh and I forgot to mention the wonderful Puerto Rican food and seafood! Yum! Can’t wait.

Please see the letter “To the person who left their cup in our truck”. While the circumstances are different the sentiment is the same.
When you are done drinking your 2L bottle of ginger ale don’t throw it in our overgrown lawn. I know it’s been raining a lot and our grass is about 8 inches high. However, the bottle did not blend into the yard despite it being green.
Dudley, it this was you again I will be extremely disappointed.

This is Logan Vicente Saplan. He was born June 9th. I haven’t met him personally, but he’s a cutie. He looks more like his dad than my sister. Anyway, he’s my first nephew. I already have 3 neices.
As for the name. They liked Logan. Vicente is my dad’s name.

Dear inconsiderate, irresponsible, rude person,
Our truck is not a trash can. After a wonderful day at Hollywood Studios we came back to our truck to find you had left your large empty Wendy’s cup in the bed of our pick up truck. This is the first time such a thing has happened. And to believe it happened in the Happiest Place on Earth is even more shocking!
I will assume you had a bad attitude. You obviously arrived at the parking lot later than we did and on your way to the tram decided to throw it away, in our truck. Did you not know that Disney has trash cans. Maybe you were too lazy to carry it an extra 5 minutes. Had I seen you do such I thing, I would have asked you to take your trash and put it in your own car.
To those of you reading this, don’t worry. We drove the inconsiderate rude person’s cup home and threw it away, instead of trashing it in another person’s car.
I hope you never run into us again,
Patricia

I went to my first Pilates class this morning in a VERY LONG time. I think I’ll keep going back. It was a good workout for me.
I have to say it was much better than the Yoga class I took a couple of weeks ago. While in the locker room I saw a lady with her yoga mat and asked her about the class. Stuff like, is is relaxing, super hard, etc… Her reply: “Well the army guy teaches the Saturday morning class so it’s more of a workout.”
I was a little scared at that point but decided to go anyway. Yep, not relaxing at all. It was a workout and the day after I was feeling muscles ache in the weirdest places!
Sticking to Pilates for now. Maybe Yoga later, or at least another teacher.
