Janet,

Believe it or not, I was up until 1:00 in the morning (which is rare). I went to a little orientation / barbeque at our parish church because Julia Grace is starting catholic school next year (Thomas wants no part - God help me). When I left there, I got an iced coffee and was buzzing and cleaning the house. I would have loved to talk to you.

DEBBIE,

Sorry our call was short yesterday. What's going on with your Aunt? Did she ever call you.

Christina

Chris, my aunt is in the hospital. She fell last night, things aren't looking
too good for her, sadly. Just getting ready to go back to the ER. I'll try to call you when I can. Love ya.

OMG TERRY

I just got your email with the picture of the Laundromat
and
MY HOUSE peeking out behind the Laundromat

It looks like it is pink.

I see you posted the picture here too. Oh, I think I see
Momma sitting on the stoop.

Thank you so much for the great memory of 20th St.

Love you!

TERRY -
do you remember a woman namded Dolly. She lived in the house next
to Jack Foti Deli/Barber - upstairs from Dad's ???? She always sat at
the window on 2nd Fl. Had young kids... Think she was the neighborhood
boutona (Sp?) and hung out at Toto's. She didn't have many friends
but I always remember talking to her. Felt sorry for her (we were
probably told to stay away from 'that bad woman')

Hope she wasn't someone's aunt here.. Oh well - she was a nice lady.
Tough life as I look back.

See ya!

Hello to JUDY, CHRISTINA AND DEBBIE.

exactly what you need for today! HE knows; trust HIM!

To Vienna and Figgaro

This is very important! PLEASE make sure your mommies use a
harness on you and NOT A COLLAR.

We yorkies are prone to trachea problems and now I have a
collapsed trachea (which couldn't have been avoided at this
time). So please tell them. Woof Woof!


Love,

Frasier
