Well, how can we complain about our weather? I know there have been some showers here and there but overall it has been pretty nice. We were a little disappointed this past Sunday however as some of the beach gang thought about going out there for lunch. It will be interesting to see what Mother Nature has done to the beach and where we will all gather this year.

Happy birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week. Big balloons go out to Grant Pertile and Sarah Pertile, who celebrated their day May 1, Alice Keenan on May 2, Matthew Garcia, who partied on May 3, Cesar Breno on May 6, and to Neemias Carlos ,who celebrates his day today May 7.

It was a special day and she went out with friends to Sharky’s after work for her first legal drink, then went and celebrated with her family. On Sunday she and boyfriend Mike Furino flew to Disney for a week of fun. Meghan said she rode all of the roller coasters in Disney and that they had the best time.
