  • Good Morning All

    FOR PICTURES on here: The easiest way I found was the following:
    Go to your pictures and pick the one out that you want
    Edit it and change to Best For Web or Thumbnail
    Name it and Save to Desktop
    Then go to the top of the blog page and click on Your Page(under the picture)
    Go all the way to the bottom where it says Avatar
    Hit Browse and choose Desktop in the drop down menu that appears
    Find the name that you gave the picture and hit Open
    Go back to the blog page and hit Submit.
    You're all done. This will add you picture to all the post you have written.

    Hope this is clear. To keep the directions where you can see it while you do this, you can also right click on the "Your Page" and open it in a new window so that you can keep going back to this page and view the instructions as you go.

  • HI COUSIN JANET HORAN,

    I went shopping today and brought the old fashioned percolator coffee pot that you put on your stove. You know the one with the glass bulb on top. I remember Rocco and Millie Gagliardi making the best darn pot of coffee and that was what they used. I'm trying it out right now. I do not like the new coffee makers at all.

    MARILYN, I would love that cheesecake recipe.

    Love,
    Twiggy
  • TESTING TO SEE IF MY PHOTO COMESS UP
  • WOW!!!!! I M SO EXCITED. THE COLLEGE KID DID IT. THANK YOU JANET AND FESTINA. I WANTED TO USE THIS PHOTO BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME WHEN I GET PISSED OFF AND SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF THAT LIFE IS TOO SHORT. DONNIE WAS HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE RECONNECTING AT THE REUNION. THIS PHOTOS REMIND ME OF A VERY VERY HAPPY DAY FOR MANY OF US. LOVE TERRY
  • TWIG,
    THAT IS SO FUNNY I BOUGHT THE SAME POT. I WANTED MY HOUSE TO SMELL THE WAY MY MOMS DID WHEN SHE MADE COFFEE. I REMEMBER WHEN MY MOM DIED I GAVE ANNIE SCHIRALLI SOME O F MY MOMS THINGS. ONE WAS THE COFFEE POT FOR THE STOVE. EVERYTIME I WOULD VISIT ANNIE SHE WOULD SAY MOMMY IS HERE WITH US WHEN WE WERE DRINKING THE COFFEE.. I LOVE THAT POT. TRUTHFULLY I USE MY FARBERWARE IN THE MORNING BECAUSE IT IS SO QUICK AND I DONT HAVE TO WATCH IT. COFFEE ON THE STOVE ANOTHER GREAT MEMORY. LOVE TERRY
  • Terry - What a great picture!!!!!!

    Twiggy - What a great idea to put what street we were from...I copied your idea, hope you don't mind....

    Judy
  • Terry - you should get that picture blown up and put it in your living room. Great shot and a great memory to have.
  • HI TERRY, THAT IS SUCH A GREAT PICTURE OF YOU & DONNY. ITS LESS THEN A MONTH GONE BY. WHEN OLD FRIENDS GOT TOGETHER. IT PAY TO PUT A SMILE ON SOMEONE FACE. EVEN IF ITS JUST FOR A MOMENT. HE WAS TRULY HAPPY THAT DAY.THANKS TOO YOU FOR THAT GOOD TIME. IM SO GLAD I MADE THE EFFORT TO DRIVE TO NEW YORK FOR THE REUNION. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.......ON A HAPPIER NOTE MY MOTHER ALWAYS USED THE SAME COFFEE POT. SHE NEVER LIKED MY MR. COFFEMAKER. SO SHE BOUGHT ME THE POT FOR THE STOVE STILL HAVE THE POT BUT ITS MISSING THE GLASS TOP. WONDER WHAT STORES SELLS THEM. MY SISTER ROSIE USES THAT SAME POT EVER DAY. NOTHING BETTER THE SMELL OF FRESH PERKED COFFEE. IM GLAD YOU FOUND YOUR WAY TO GET YOUR PIC ON. THANK GOD FOR KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JEANETTE FROM RHODE ISLAND
  • Christina, I don't care for all these drip pots either. The coffee is never hot enough!!! Like Terry, I use my farberware and I love it. Although, I'm sorry I gave away my mother's pot after she died. Now I want it.
  • TERRY AND DEBBIE,

    The coffee was delicious. I'm telling you, the smell was awesome. The only problem is I'm not going to fall asleep tonight because I made it so late.

    Just finished going through my videos. I got a new hard drive video camera that downloads to the computer and than you just burn it onto a disk. Well, I had a few years of video. Of course, the first Iopened up was JEANNE. I'm so happy I have so much footage of her. Just spent a few hours laughing and crying. Her girls will be so happy to see the tapes I've made. My daughter was so excited to see her to. Tommy and my husband are on a boy scout camping trip at the Museum. They are actually going to camp out inside the museum just like the Ben Stiller movie. The house is so peaceful without the boys. I think I'm going to go to the pizzeria now to get an order of baked clams now.

    JUDY - I think I copied the idea from another friend, so we're even.

    Love & Hugs

    p.s. Terry, are you cruising on Monday? Where are you sailing to?

  • ANTHONY,

    We live in Florida so its pack 341. The kids have a blast and camp out at the Miami Seaquarium, Lion Safari Country, etc. It's awesome for them. I'm sure you know. I created a little photoshow of all they did last year. If you want to be bored out of your scull, you can view it.
