Hi Everyone,Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!!!!
Went to mom's and had a great day...had some old friends from 27th Street stop by for coffee and cake that we have not seen in years, had so much fun...mom was trying so hard to talk, and it seemed like she was glad to see everyone.
I have a question for all, me and my sisters got on the subject of the St. John's talent show, which as many of you know the 'The Giordano Sisters' were in it a couple of years. LOL ..well Jolene mentioned how nervous she used to get right before we were to perform and then she said "but there was always that guy that used to calm us down and make jokes" well me and Laura have no idea who the hell she is talking about..LOL but she said he was older, now at 10 years old, he could of been in his twenties and she would of thought of him as older, so we really don't know how old, but supposedly he was there every year, getting the kids ready before they went on stage...DOES ANYONE REMEMBER WHO THIS IS...maybe it was somebody's brother, dad, uncle or cousin......It is driving us all crazy now that me and Laura don't remember him.
Well enjoy your night...peek back later to see if anyone remembers him,..LOL
I remember a guy name "Nick"...He was older than me(maybe 10 Yrs or so)....I know his last name, but can't remember it now. But, I did see him a few years ago in the old neighborhood....I also think A. Umbria might know who I am talking about. We have to ask him.

Hi guys.......
Judy is it my dad you're talking about? I know he had a lot to do with the talent show's through the years. My sister Karen sang in a few of them also.
Joe....It's funny you say Nick...my dad was Nick but he's been gone more than a few years.
Patsy.....I'll try and call you later.

Hi,
No Deb, your dad was the first one I thought of, but Jolene always remembers him and she said no it wasn't Nick.
Thanks, Joe maybe Anthony can help me out....

Hello All, We are back in our home in Florida. Carol survived the trip home despite not feeling very well. Now that she is home she is feeling much better. Because of her I.B.S., travel is very frightening for her and it gets her nerves going and her insides messed up. This morning she had a decent breakfast and seems to be handling it okay. Thank you all for your well wishes.We spent Mothers Day at Carol's sister's house in Amityville LI NY. That is where we stayed for this trip. She arranged for a Limo to take us all into Brooklyn for the Memorial Service on Saturday. That really helped make the day less tense. Our niece cooked a delicious Mothers Day dinner for all of us. Grandma's ashes were in the room next to the dining room so it was almost like having her with us. Much to do today so I better get going. :salut:

WARREN

Josephine if u r reading it was great seeing you last night and talking and reminiscing about the good old south Brooklyn days.
Now just get Theresa and Elizabeth to come -
Hi, Sounds like all the ladies had a great Mother's Day wk. end. I had my grandkids for the day plus the day before I did some shopping at the mall for myself, Macy's had a terrific sale.
Warren, Gladed it worked out for Carol, I'm sure it was stressful having to worry about trip.
Terry, Love the pics, Christopher is so cute.If anyone likes the Housewives, NJ is starting May 16 with two new Housewives.
Enjoy your week!!

Morning All
Been a bit busy - my sister had her hip surgery and it was successful. She's doing ok and slowly but surely she'll be up-n-about.
Sorry to hear about Muriel Shannon's passing. My condolences Donna - she was a very sweet woman.
Warren & Carol - glad you made it back and home safely.
Judy - I think who Joe is referring to is Nick Sacenti (not sure of the spelling of his last name) - he lived on 18th below 5th. It probably was him - he was very active in St. John's especially when Fr. Strianese was there. His wife's name was (is?) Phyllis and he had 2 kids - whose names I can't remember - a daughter and a son. Debbie you should remember him cause he was friendly with your dad. Hope it helps!!
Well let me get to work. Have a great day - aside from allergies - it's beautiful. Go out and enjoy.
-
Hi Karen, Its funny because I don't even know if I said the name if Jolene would remember, she said she remembers him having a space between his front teeth....does this sound familiar.....geez I can't remember what I ate for breakfast..and she remembers that.....LOL LOL
Hope your sister is up and around real soon.....
Hi everyone else....beautiful day out today....enjoy!!!!!
-
VERY CLOUDY HERE TODAY, HOPE THE SUN COMES OUT!!
KAREN, HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR SISTER IS DOING WELL. THE HIP AND KNEE SURGERIES SEEM TO BE PRETTY COMMON THESE DAYS.
PATSY, I JUST STARTED WATCHING MOB WIVES TOO, LOTS OF DRAMA; THE NJ HW BEGIN ON 5/16; THEY ARE TWO NEW HW'S.
IF SCOTTY MAKES IT TONIGHT, THEY ARE PLANNING THE BIG HOMECOMING FOR HIM, IT'S BEEN ALL OVER THE NEWS. I REMEMBER GOING TO OUR STADIUM TO SEE CLAY AIKEN GO UP AGAINST REUBEN, IT WAS VERY EXCITING.
I WENT FOR MY YEARLY ROUTINE PHYSICAL AND PASSED, WAS HAPPY ABOUT THAT!!! -
JUDY, THAT'S GREAT YOUR SISTER REMEMBERS ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS FROM WHEN SHE WAS A KID!!!

Hi, Been working on the Video I took of the Memorial Service for Carol's Mother. Learning how to edit out some stuff. Then I have to burn disks of the service to share with family members. Not as easy as it sounds. I also will be transferring the files to a format that can be read on a DVD player. Otherwise it can only be watched on the computer or directly from the camera to a TV. I have accomplished the conversion before but when you do not work with this stuff often, it can be difficult for an Old Goat like me. Carol not feeling so hot again. Have to take it day by day. ](*,)

Hi Terry:
Kenny, me and Anna Marie are coming to the reunion for sure.
It's been a little crazy around here with my aunt passing away and Ann's mother coming home from the hospital today. I will get the money to you as soon as I can. Hope all is well with the granddaughters. Hope to see you Sunday.
LOVE............... -
Good morning.....
Looks like we are in for rain for the next couple of days.
Karen I forgot about Nicky Saccenti....I went to school with the son.
Donna sorry to hear about your Aunt.
Hi to all.....running some errands. See you later.

Hi,
I can't believe James was voted off of AI, I really thought he was going to win...can't wait to see who the winner will be...I guess all three are really good in their own way.
Well looks like rain,
Enjoy the day..peek back later

Well a beautiful day but sad. We laid to rest a friends daughter. So sad to watch her and her other daughter is such pain. So many cars we had to walk all the way to the grave.
Kids....
She had an argument with her boyfriend and got out of the car on a highway waving on traffic by time the boyriend got back to try to get her in the car it was too late.. Killed by a tractor trailer. It was upstate Carmel new york. A smart, talented girl too young to die. Twenty-six years old. Please pray for Danielle and her family. they need prayers and strength to get through this.
On a better note. Have a spa party tonight, going to pamper some ladies. Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day and night.
Howdy, Stranger!
