Suzie and Festina, Beautiful grandchildren, enjoy them while they are young, I have two little ones too, luv them!!!

Terri, I kicked it around and around, I won't be able to make it to the reunion, too much going on down here! I would have loved to come and meet everybody and hear the old stories (that I enjoy so much from reading) about the neighborhood.

BTW, Festina, my mom turned 80 this year too, I wonder if our moms knew one another back in the old days. LOL she did mention working in the pearl factory when she was about 16 yrs. old.

I hope everyone has a nice day, wow, it's really HOT down here!!!

Good Morning, hope everyone is doing well!

I e-mailed Freddie's daughter last night, this is her response:

""""As for visitors I'm not sure maybe they can send a letter or email him and he will respond if he feels up to company, he really doesn't want anyone to see him in this condition, he's in a wheelchair and has a huge metal brace on his leg, but if you or anyone else would like to send a card I'll give you their address if you don't have it. Thank you for being concerned. Deena"""""""

So the best thing to do is FB him cause someone said he's been checking FB.

Boy it's hot out there!!!! Heading to Fiacco's for some proscuitto balls and broccili rabe sausage......Yum. See you guy's later.

Hey Maryann.....thanks, I'm going to send him another note on fb.
