I think the snow is going to hit here tomorrow, big time. I have the noon news on to make sure. I have to get a spark plug just in case my generator needs one. Don't know the size yet. Too lazy to check, but I will.

If it gets bad and the power goes out, it's great having the generator for the computer and TV. I have gas heat & stove, so I can still cook.

Hi Anthony

HI JANET
HOW ARE YOU TODAY

Subject: Brooklyn Memories.....

I happened across this site....I remember Germains too! and Felix Italian restaurant! Born in Methodist Hospital in 1957. Lived on 16th street between 5th & 6th Aves until 1964 when my family moved to Marine Park.
Both I and my older brother went to St John's and he being 7 years older went to John Jay before our move. I must tell him about this site, he would remember more than me.

I remember the days of strolling down 5th ave, shopping with mom and/or grandma. Taking a very long walk with mom to the movie theater near prospect park. Shopping at Woolworth's, the pork store, the pasta store....

Had all our immediate relatives from both sides of the family within blocks of each other. Met at maternal grandma's almost every Sunday for dinner or coffee. How things have changed, all family members moved to different parts of the state and beyond. And yes, we did drink coffee & wine (mixed w/soda) as children.

I'll never forget the nurses face at St John's. I was in second grade. A classmate of mine was ill and had to go to the nurse. My teacher asked if I would go with her. The nurse asked the sick girl what she had for breakfast (trying to determine what made her sick) and then she asked me (so I wouldn't feel left out or just being nosey). I told her I had oatmeal, juice and a cup of coffee. I'll never forget her face! Needless to say, my mother got a phone call from the principal yelling at her for giving me coffee! Well, I never did like milk! Now I'm lactose intolerant! Go figure.

Good Anthony. Welcome Linda.

HELLO LINDA C.
WELCOME TO OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME

That is funny Linda. I don't even remember St. John's having a nurse, lol. Guess I never went to see her.

OH YEAH JANET SHE WAS ON THE BALCON.
