Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Having the Curly cousins over for bagels and coffee tomorrow. the Vacarro's and Angelo's. Actually my Dad's cousins. from the slope... the Vacarro's had a junk yard years ago I think they sold it recently not sure. I want to say closer to 9th street down that way.

Still praying for Jonathan (Judy's brother in law). Hope he is doing good..

see ya later

Thanks Terry -

Just home today, trying to finish my Christmas decorations and cooking some stuff for Christmas and then I will freeze it...

Jonathan is not feeling too good this weekend, but that is expected, he is getting heavy doses of chemo right up until his transplant on the 16th.....

Enjoy the rest of the day.

12 days until Christmas.... :santa:

Morning All - Happy Monday!

Wow, the weekend went so fast. I did some baking w/my sisters and nieces/nephews. We made strufoli (or as my great-nephew Jared says strupoli!). Only 20 dishes. Man did we stink of fried oil. I'm glad they taste better than they smell.

Almost done shopping-just need 2 small gifts for babies both celebrating their 1st Christmas'! Then onto the wrapping. I have my cards out, just the need the time to write them.

Anna - stay safe w/all that snow. Patsy stop wishing for it- we'll have our share soon enough! Judy - your bil is in my prayers.

Just a quick type-by. Busy (for a change). Have a good day everyone.
