Warm and sunny here in Florida. We both are not feeling great but we will be ok I think we just need to rest.. Talk to you al tomorrow, Good night sweet dreams Patsy give that little cuzzie of mine a big kiss... He is just so cute. god Bless him
Beautiful here today in Florida. Hit the gym already and now Costco..Beach tomorrow... Have a great day. Hope Patsy and Judy you both are feeling better.. Will get to see my childhood friend again this time around. Maria Torre from 18th street. Accidentally met her in a restaurant where my cousin was singing here in Florida. We went to grammar school all the way up to high school and have not seen each other in abut 30 something years or more. Don't remember if I posted this last time when I was here. Senior moments these days..
Went back to the surgeon today, he said everything looks good. However, I told him that the tips of my fingers are still somewhat numb, he said it could take up to a year!!!! Or possibly not get full feeling back at all (nice of him to tell me that now). But my fingers were really numb, so they do feel a lot better, so he said that's a good sign and should mean that I will get full feeling back....
Has been beautiful here this week. Terry came down at the right time. Terry, I sent you an e-mail a little while ago. Judy. how are you going to count your change at the store with your fingertips numb???Just kidding. I am sure it will all work out just fine. Patsy, how is your wrist feeling? Anna, start counting the days and figure out what you want to bring with you. That includes your sweaters for the cool days and your bikini for the hot days. Debbie, stay healthy. A lot of injuries up there! Last Tuesday I monitored the services I will be conducting in 2 nursing homes/Assisted Living. It is sad to see the condition (mental & physical) of some of the people. A service like the ones I saw and will conduct shortly is something those people really need and want. This Sunday I will be conducting (along with some help) a Communion service here at our place. I am glad I can be of some use to my fellow residents. Okay, Carol wants to do a little shopping while our housekeeper finishes cleaning up our apartment. It is really amazing when you consider that many of our Grandparents came over here from Europe as Indentured maids/housekeepers and now we have one that comes in once a week!!!!
Hi everyone-thanks for the well wishes-...only a week but I'm enjoying my retirement..been out everyday-visiting a girlfriend for lunch, running errands, did some shopping, i'm loving every minute of it! Warren-I don't think I'd better bring a bikini down to Florida-Florida may never be the same!!!!! thanks for the advice and glad you're keeping busy..Judy & Patsy-hope u both recover soon..Hi Debbie-have a great day Hi Debbie..and Terry-enjoy the Florida weather!...my brother said the house is going to be started next week...and I'm on baby watch too...Jessica had to go on maternity leave and could go in labor within the next couple of weeks...so I'll be pretty busy...enjoy your weekend everybody-talk to u soon..............
Good Morning All, Carol & I served Communion yesterday here at our place. Tomorrow I will again monitor the two Nursing Home services that I went to last week. The next two weeks I will be conducting them with the help of a key board player and a leader for the singing. Easter Sunday I will be giving the sermon here at our service and at another Independent Living place. It is a special joy to see the faces of people, many of whom would not get to Church were it not for the on site services the group I am working with presents.
Terry came to Florida at the right time. It was a beautiful week last week and yesterday and today look great! Tonight and tomorrow we expect heavy rain storms but considering a full week of good weather, that's not too bad.
Can you all please keep my mother in law in your prayers, she's having surgery on Wednesday. Her breast cancer has come back and I'm worried about her. Thank you
We will certainly pray for your Mother In Law. Carol & I are both Cancer survivors and we know how we feel when we wait for test results. We pray for good surgery results and a complete remission of the Cancer.
One cold wintry Sunday many years ago, three brothers in Brooklyn, Park Slope to be exact, awoke very early, just before dawn. The oldest Brother had a Brooklyn Eagle Newspaper delivery route. The papers had arrived and were ready to be delivered. (After some insertion work). The two younger brothers took one look at the snow and ice outside and objected vehemently to assisting the oldest brother with his route. By this time, Mom was awake and told us in no uncertain terms that we WERE going to help oldest brother with his route. When Mom said something, it was the final word. After dressing warmly as possible, off went the three brothers with a sled full of papers. While we lived on 12th Street, the route was mostly in Windsor Terrace. After many arguments and ½ hour later we started delivering to the assigned houses. The route finished up on 8th Ave just below Bartel-Pritchard Square. On the way home I (the youngest) added several cuss words to my vocabulary from the exchanges between my two oldest brothers. All was fine with the world when we arrived home and our Mom had hot chocolate and crumb cake awaiting us. My two older brothers are gone now. How I wish I still had them to remind them of that Icy day.
Cherish every moment with your loved ones. Remember, we are all here temporarily and it is best to keep those close to you in your heart!
Hi Everyone-talk about this crazy weather!!! it was 80 on Saturday-went to Jessica's house for dinner on Sat. .. looked out my window-it's snowing out right now-getting about a half an inch tonite..this is nuts!!! LOL..starting to declutter my apt..still loving retirement..I have so much time to do more things during the day! meeting friends for lunch, running errands that I would have to wait to do over the weekend-can't get any better than this..except-still on baby watch..Jessica is due in 2 weeks but the doctor said she could give birth any day now..very excited!! well take care everybody-will talk to u soon....Hi to Patsy, Judy, Warren, Debbie and Terry..........Patsy-still watching DWTS?
Hi Anna Loving Dwts this year!! Love this group of stars & I loved the switch in partners. Max is a hunk, but i do love Val & Danica. & I love Derek with Amy Purdy. Enjoy your retirement & keep posting. We are getting a lot of rain here tomorrow with rumors of light dusting snow Enjoy your night!!
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!!!!
Oh yes Warren New outfit When little girls wore hats, dresses, gloves and a pocketbook Delicious REAL chocolate bunnies. The smell of live pants brings me back to the 1950's when my Dad would sell plants outside his business to make extra money. Palm sunday when we would exchange palm with our family. (I think an Italian tradition not sure) When Families lived all in the same neighborhood and had Easter dinner together. Now kids are all over and lucky if u see them.
Great time to grow up and Great memories I cherish always...
Hi Anna Dwts Disney night was great I loved every minute of it Peta & James deserved the 40 points. They were amazing!! Kudos to Peta for that choreography. But I still love Val & Danica the most.
Good morning friends Tried to get on last night & couldn't Debbie couldn't either Cuz I don't need you to send me the Website Thanx anyway Hope you enjoyed your birthday Everyone have a great day! My cuz Stepjanie is coming to visit with us today & especially to see Gavin. Enjoy!!
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.
You know the one thing I always remember is the chocolate cross with jelly beans.......I went crazy looking for any type of chocolate cross, they are not easy to find
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 Morning A rainy, gloomy day her in Florida This is how I always remember Good Friday. Just a reminder of how sad a day it is in our religion. Remember years ago you never picked up a broom on Good Friday??? Wow have things changed. Feeling a little guilty about going to the gym I hear My Mother yeling from u there. lol
Good afternoon friends Chilly here in good old Brooklyn But not too bad Hi Judy Yes Gavin's 1st Easter We bought him stuffed animals Baskets with his name on them & some Little musical toys Not that he knows the difference lol Enjoy your Easter with Sal & your family Warren your right The kids will call these the good old days in 20 yrs. little do they know, we have bragging rights to the real good old days!! Everyone enjoy your day!!
Hi-just wanted to wish everyone Happy Easter! Going to Easter brunch with some friends tomorrow to the Cheesecake Factory (don't know if u have one back east) then Easter brunch with the family on Sunday...going to be in the 70's this weekend. ...it's about time!!! enjoy Easter everyone!!! Bye
Hi...in case I get busy tomorrow cooking and getting ready for Sunday, I just want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter...have a wonderful day with family and friends....
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.
Good morning friends "Happy Easter" Enjoy & let us remember what this holiday is all about. Judy, Sal is a doll Enjoy Easter with him Weather is beautiful today
Good night sweet dreams Hope Peter Rabbit treas you all good tonight... Yes Warren e must remember the true meaning of Easter. Jesus died for us and our sins and tomorrow morning we all should rejoice for he will have risen...
