Too early for Eggplant, lol.

YES ALL THE RELATIVES LIVED NEAR EACH OTHER. NOW EVERYONE LIVES ALL OVER THE PLACE

The eggplant parmasean at the reunion was great and I won't forget it !!! They ran out very fast.

True. If I move to Florida, I already asked the kids if they will come down and visit me, lol.

Even in those days, most of my relatives were not within walking distance, so it was usually birthdays, or Sunday dinners that we saw them at.

What is Mia doing??

YES...MY MOM WAS ALWAYS HOME UNTILL WE GOT OLDER.....AND IT WAS FOR HER TO HAVE A LIFE AFTER THE BIRDS LEFT THE NEST.....
.....AND I SAW THE LOVE AND AFFECTION MY PARENTS ALWAYS HAD FOR EACH OTHER......NEVER SAW THEM HAVE A NASTY FIGHT OR AUGUMENT..
...I ALWAYS REMEMBER THEM DANCING TOGETHER WHEN EVER WE WENT TO A WEDDING OR PARTY.....AND ENJOY THIER RETIREMENT TOGETHER UP UNTILL MY DAD DIED.......FUNNY THING,MOM & DAD DANCED LIKE FRED ASTAIRE AND GINGER RODGERS,BUT NONE OF US KIDS EVERD DANCE.....THE CLOSES I GOT TO DANCING WAS PLAYING DRUMS AND TRYING TO MAKE OTHERS DANCE.....TRIED TO GIVE EVERYBODY"HAPPY FEET" THRU MY MUSIC
