Good morning friends
Nice day again
Enjoy!!
No big deal, but posts are dated March instead of April?? -
Shock of all shock, two nice days in a row. That has been pretty rare here in Florida this spring. I have been pretty busy of late. The Nondenominational Christian Worship Service group has been using me a lot. Also spent my first shift as a dispatcher on the Sun City Center Security Patrol. When the NCWS has services at Nursing Homes or Assisted Living places, it really warms my heart to be able to share Gods love with those people. Some of the residents are pretty much with it but some are in sad shape. But when we sing old favorite Hymns it brightens up their faces and makes me feel like I am accomplishing something important and worthwhile.
Anna, get use to be very busy during retirement. Especially in the beginning. You get to do a lot of the things you have been putting off while working.
Patsy did you color & hide Easter Eggs this year? Carol and I still color them but do not hide them since we would probably forget where we hid them!!!!
To all the rest of you, enjoy spring weather when it hits your area. -
Hi Warren
We did not color eggs this year
Definitely next year when grandson is
Older. I miss the days of egg hunts with
The kids. I'm so glad I have Gavin to do this with In the coming yrs (God willing)
I thinks it's wonderful the volunteer work you are doing. Helping others & brightening their day. God bless you. Hope Carol is well
Send regards
Enjoy your day!!
:) -
Hi Everyone,
Hope everyone had a great Easter...
warren.....you are so wonderful to be spending your time making others feel so loved
Hi Patsy, Anna, Debbie and Terry
Have a great day -
Hi All
Warren
What was the name if the movie house on 16th street or 15th street years ago. One was the Globe. What was the other one and if there was another one. I thought I remember you posting about them along time ago.
Love what you are doing with the nursing and assistant living people.
-
Hi Judy
Hi cuz
:) -
Terry, The Globe was on 15th Street just above 5th Avenue. There was a theater called the "16th Street" which was on 16th Street below 5th Avenue. We called the 16th Street "The Itch". It was pretty dirty. There was also a small theater on 6th or 8th avenue called the Minerva. Of course all those theaters including the Avon and Prospect are closed. The Sanders on PPW and 14th-15th Street is still open and it has a different name.
-
Hi-Warren-God bless u for all the kind work you do..you're right-I love retirement because I have so much time to do all the things I didn't have time to do during the day...LOL...been decluttering the apartment a little at a time..took Jessica to her doctor's appt.on Wednesday-everything is the same..Brandon will be here when he decides to come..Praying it will be soon!!!

Picture this ladies. On April 20 it was 59, yes 59 years ago that my father passed away. April 20, 1955. Six months before that, Oct 6 1954, my Mother passed. That will be 60 years ago come October 6, 2014. They were so young, 51 and 54 years old. They really just began to enjoy life. Finally could afford vacations and not have young children to worry about. They did not have much of a chance to enjoy their grandchildren. A very smart man told me one time that death is part of life! He also advised me to concentrate on the good times with my parents while they were alive and healthy. He said "do not mope around and only think of their illnesses and passing." I have tried very hard to do that. All my brothers (two of them) and my sister died in the past few years since I moved to Florida. They lived here as well. The brothers on the West coast of Florida and my sister on the East coast of Florida. I am the only sibling left. We did get to spend some time together in our late years and thank God for that! Memories are wonderful and we should try and concentrate on the good memories...Too bad we can't do smiley faces any more. This would be a good place for one.
-
Beautifully said Warren
Patsy...glad the Christening was so beautiful.....post some pics!!!
Anna.....Waiting to hear the good news
Have a great day -
Hi guys
Cast is off (that's the good news)
Bad news, it is still very sore
Dr said my age, it will be a couple of months until it feels really good.
He suggested physical therapy.
I will look into that. Not thrilled though.
Hope everyone is good.
Debbie, hope you feel better.
Looking forward to breakfast on
Thursday. Will call you later.
Enjoy your night, people
:)

Everyone have a great day
Stay dry
Lots of rain here
:) -
Anna....Congratulations on your new grandson......how is your daughter feeling?
Have a great day.......horrible rainy day here... -
Hi Patsy....I had the surgery on my wrist and elbow two months ago and some days it's still so sore, especially when it rains. The doctor said it will take a while to feel completely better.
This weather is so horrible out, haven't stopped raining all day.
Keep dry..... -
Hi all. Been going crazy because I have shingles!! Omg the pain.....thank god it's easing up now but this last week has been hell!
Judy I can't believe 2 years have passed already, then again I can't believe my mom will be gone 10 years in June
-
What did I do, only half my comment posted!! Grrrr
Patsy I'm feeling a little better thanks for checking on me
Anna congratulations on your new grandson. Enjoy him.
Warren I hope you're doing ok I heard Florida was getting hit hard with rain.
Terry home sweet home for you tomorrow lol -
thanks everyone for the well wishes..Jessica is doing okay-last minute c-section but shes felling better-she's going home tomorrow already..saw her and the baby this morning..been raining here since Monday-it could be worse-it could be snow..LOL Debbie-I heard shingles was very painful...always something right...heard the east coast is flooding (even in the panhandle of Florida) my son is in North Carolina on business and I heard they had tornado watches..my brother sent me pics of the new house-the walls are up and the roof is going on this week...things are starting to move fast! well, got to go..........talk to u soon
-
Oh Debbie....wow I also heard they are painful...hope you feel better real soon.
-
Hello All,
1st of all-Debbie, several years ago Carol had shingles. It must be taken seriously. Carol's were on her face and traveled right near her eye. They got her medication in time which kept it from affecting her sight. Since then, we have both had the Shingle shot which will help prevent, maybe, future episodes.
We in the west coast, central part of Florida, have not been hit with the serious rains. They are predicting storms later today and tomorrow. The Panhandle is on the Northwest coast of Florida and that area is subject to all kinds of wild weather. They were hit with 22 inches of rain yesterday. Hard to even imagine that much rain.
Judy & Patsy, I heard lifting a few glasses of booze helps heal painful wrists etc:. At least it may help you forget about the pain!
Anna, It is the duty of all grandparents to spoil their Grandchildren rotten!! Good luck! -
I am home sweet home Debbie
Feel better. Yes they say shingles very painful.
Anna congratulations, nice to hear some happy news these days.
Judy it is hard to believe Loraine is gone two years. I remember going to visit her for her birthday when she was sick. What I remember most is her on 27th street when we were kids..
Warren my cousin Rosa's son is is the service and he is in Afghanistan right now but his wife and baby live on the base in Pensacola and it is so bad there with this rain. I left Wednesday and it was beautiful. Yes we must concentrate on the good memories in our life with all our loved ones. those who are gone and those we still have..
.
-
Good morning friends,
Welcome home Cuzzies
Will talk with you soon xx
Everyon, enjoy your weekend!
:)
-
Welcome home Terry
Anna hope your enjoying your new grandson
Debbie feel better
Hi Warren and Patsy
Have a great weekend -
Terry, you got out just in time! Rain came yesterday (Friday) afternoon and it was a deluge. Not as bad as the Panhandle but parts of Tampa and other low lying areas in the whole area have been hit hard. It is still raining now (Saturday morning) and they are expecting it off and on all day. Tampa got 3" yesterday. Parts of Pinellas got hit as well. We got 2" yesterday in Sun City Center.
Anna, you are used to the snow, get used to the rain when you move down here. We get plenty of Sunshine but when it rains, watch out!
Tomorrow I have light duty. Just have to run the Communion service here in our Adult Community.
All the rest of you, enjoy your weekend. -
Good morning friends
Happy Sunday
Enjoy your day!!
:) -
Good morning everyone-cloudy day today..but in the 70's & 80's by the end of the week..can't wait..going to Jessica's everyday this week to help her out..taking them to the baby's 1st checkup tomorrow......want to wish my Mom Happy 16th Anniversary in Heaven...you are loved and missed.....talk to everyone soon.......
-
Hi all.....
Thank you, yes the shingles are very painful. I had them on my hand, wrist n finger. Thank God it's better but still hurts some. Just glad it wasn't worse.
Warren that had to be so scary for Carol having them on her face. The medicine does work fast to stop it from spreading if you catch it quick.
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend -
Good morning friends
Hope everyone is well.
Enjoy your day!!
Anna enjoy the baby & May your mom
Be dancing with the angels.
:) -
Thank you Patsy...Been with Jessica every day since yesterday helping her out..baby has his nights & days mixed up...we can all relate...LOL...my son is in North Carolina & will come home to see me and the new baby this weekend....going to be 80 tomorrow and 85 on Thursday..took Jessica and Brandon to the nurse yesterday..they went on Friday & he lost 10 ozs since his birth (they say that's normal to lose some ozs) well, we had a good laugh...he put on 1/2 a pound in 3 days! in between everything else, I'm still decluttering the apartment and officially vacate the apt. on June 30th...my brother sends pictures and the house is coming along really fast! walls are up and roof with shingles is on already and it's only been 3 weeks..there is a possiblility I will be moving the beginning of July if this keeps up! Patsy-what did u think of DWTS? Didn't care for the guest judge but I think all the dancers are great this year! well, better say goodnight, talk to u in a few days!........Bye
-
Hi Anna
Glad all is going well with family & the
Move!! Dwts I love this is best season for sure due to changes & adding new things to the show. Judge Abby Lee Miller
Is very honest & a great dance coach.
I watch a show called Dance Moms which is all about her & her students & dance career. ( 3 seasons already).
She tells it like it is, but to mess with Maks,
Bad move. We all know he does not hold back. I enjoyed Mondays show with her.
Weather here is nice too!
Enjoy your day & talk to you soon.
:)

hi everyone happy mothers day,congrats to all the new borns,and there families.anna how,s retirement going.the old globe was a second home to us.i remember coming out of ps 146 on Fridays after school,and I guy would be handing out card board flyers,and if you got the right color flyer,you would get into the globe for free,but we knew Eleanor longo,who worked at the globe as a matron,so we always got in for free,and she would give me and my older brother john,a big bag of popcorn.so many Saturday mornings there.and anna having a hobby in retirement is a good option.but you will find your own path.ok every one take one day at a time,and do the best you can.take care bobbyc

Hello and Happy Mothers day to all you wonderful Mothers.
Bobby C . I do not know if that was the same mean matron who would check your ticket stubs and if it was the wrong color (meaning you already saw the whole show) she would throw you out! Since I am so much older then most of you, it was probably a different time and a different Matron. The show consisted of Two feature films, a couple of serials (like superman or batman), several cartoons and the coming attractions. They would change the ticket colors at the box office, timing it with a complete showing of all of the above. The Avon was a little more lenient. The Prospect cost a little more then the Globe and Avon so we seldom went there on Saturdays. The Prospect was a lot nicer though and they had an organ. The Organ would pop up and you would follow the bouncing ball on the words on the screen as you sang along! Before my time the Prospect had Vaudeville and some people who became big stars later in their careers played the Prospect. Believe it or not there was a sign painted near the top of the side of the Prospect which said "Talking Movies-Air Conditioned." -
Gavin now 5 months old
My little prince
Thank you again Whynot.
It was so easy
:)
-
Hope everyone enjoyed their day.
Brunch with the kids was great
Went to Cebu restaurant here in bay ridge& dinner was good too!!
We had ravioli in sauce, meatballs, salad & fresh Italian bread from the Italian deli a block away. My hubby helped cook & he & the kids did the cleaning up.
Relaxing now & watching tv.
Enjoy your night

Hi guys
Happy Sunday!
My grandson Gavin had his first taste of food today. He was introduced to sweet potato. My daughter Natalie made it with a sweet potato In the purée machine.
He didn't like it that much.
We all watched his reaction. Not too happy.
Lol
I will try to post picture of him eating it.
He will probably like fruit better.
He took a spoonful & shook his head & shoulders. Too cute!!!
Cooking now.
Have a great night!!
:)
