I guess Patsy will be on in the morning....congrats Patsy and Toniann, I'm sure it was great!

Francesca,

So sorry about your Faith.

I remember shopping for Easter clothes. Janet always complained when she tried anything on--itchy, itchy, itchy. The best part of the Easter wardrobe was the patent leather pocketbooks with the LITTLE MIRROR inside. To me, that was the ultimate girly bag. I still remember the smell--the smell of plastic and the return of Spring! Also, remember we would get straw hats and spring coats. I think I'll go buy a dress for Easter.

Janet-Want a new mohair coat? Itchy.

PAUL - I KNEW YOU'D COME THRU

SUZIE- I'LL GIVE YOU A BREAK TONITE BUT TOMORROW YOU

Franny- I can't believe the terrible news about Faith! My heart and prayers are with you. I just counted the months I had to put Lucky to rest, it's 6 months, a half year but yet, it seems like yesterday.
I still can't bring myself to get another pup because I know one day........

Even though I have 4 children, Lucky was my 5th. Oh, the unconditional love!

I wish you peace in your heart!

Helen---I see you got on! Great!


Have a great weekend.

Wow what good memories you all have...every Saturday my sisters and I would clean the house and then get ready to go to 5TH AVENUE, we went first to the pork store for our Saturday cold cuts and then walk along 5th avenue....I think I bought my first suit for work at Lady Fair....the only other places I remember that I think were not mentioned were Dr. Singer, we went to him for years and years and McGoverns Florist, remember all the birthday corsages.........

Patsy - So glad the play turned out as wonderful as you made it sound....sometimes these plays are better than Broadway.

Suzie - Samantha is soooooooooooo cute...looks just like her Grandma......

Good Morning Helen, Fred, Joe, Fran and Jim

Joke of the day...


My husband , being unhappy with my mood swings, went out and bought me a mood ring so he would be able to monitor my moods!

We've discovered that when I am in a good mood the ring turns green!

When I'm in a bad mood it leaves a "BIG RED MARK" on his Fucking forehead.

Maybe next time he will buy me a diamond!

Good Morning Geri, we must of been blogging at the same time..lol lol

Hello Festina...it looks like you peeked in yesterday...How are you, hope your mom is doing ok...

Way To Go Toniann.... You Did Great!
