Lorena was very excited yesterday because she was able to call and talk to Vanessa Batista.  Vanessa is her very dear Puerto Rican friend from our days in South Florida.  Now that we all live in Texas, we are going to plan to get together.  It turns out that Carlos and Vanessa take their kids skiing (and snowboarding) just like us.  That is even more reason to be sad that we did not get to go to the mountain this year.  It is getting toward the time to plan for next year again.  I just dropped brother Doug a line to have him help us get that set up.  He is the absolute champion of that.
