Easter week brings back so many fond memories of growing up in the slope.
A new Easter Suit at Belmont's or A&S. Getting ready to color the eggs, the Easter Cross in Prospect Park, singing Easter Hymns in Church, buying a Chocolate Bunny for my Mom and then eating most of it ourselves, getting Palms in Church on Palm Sunday and then making lapel crosses out of them. What a great place to grow up!!!!

good night sweet dreams

Good morning All
thanks for the call and the post for my birthday Patsy


Could not get on last night

Terry, Hope you had a great Birthday. Hitting 25 aint so bad, is it?
Judy, One thing I forgot to list about Easter was the aroma of Hot Cross buns baking at the neighborhood bakery. When you get them today, they just do not smell or taste the same!!!! Anna, about 6 months from now, if you get the urge to go back to work, Fight it off. If you have to get out and do something, do some volunteer work.
I still have some pictures of my children dressed up for Easter with all new clothes. One Easter Sunday, when my oldest son was about 3 years old, we dressed him up with new pants and a jacket and a fedora. . He fell down the front steps and tore out the knee on the pants before we even got to Church.

Patsy, just think, 20 years from now our kids will be talking about "The good old days". Debbie, Hope your Mother in Law got real good news.

I will be preaching a sermon in two places Easter Sunday but I won't have an "Easter Bonnet" on.

Cousin Ralphie and Rosa are making the pies.  I think of Umbria around this time.  He would be making the Easter pies.  I still have his recipe.  Miss u Umbria and your pain in the ass music. lol

Good Night sweet dreams all'
A blessed Holy Thursday

Good afternoon friends
Chilly here in good old Brooklyn
But not too bad
Hi Judy

Little musical toys

Everyone enjoy your day!!

My grandson Salvatore coloring eggs with his Mom

OMG Judy he got so big and so adorable he is.  time is moving tooooo ast for me.


HAPPY EASTER ALL

I wish you all a healthy, happy, worship filled Easter. Let none of us forget the true meaning of his resurrection day. To our Jewish friends, I hope your Passover is filled with joy. I was fortunate enough to have the local Rabbi come to the Sunday School Class Carol & I taught years ago in NJ. We had a Seder and he described the meaning of all the foods and customs to our Sunday School children (and US). Can you imagine what a wonderful world this would be if everyone respected others cultures and beliefs!!!! Happy Easter.
