Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Hi Franny:

I finally got back on here. We were having trouble with the blog. I hope
all is well with you and Frank. I think of you both often. Kenny is going
to try to send you some pictures of my granddaughter. I hope to hear
from you soon. Love to you both.

Donna, Jeanette and Fes ....Have a good time and Ill see you all Lata!

Fes ....I guess she had the Kruschiki also...LOL!

OK....really gotta run! Ciao 4 now!

oh madonna mia!

Festina, How wonderful, you found that dessert (is it a dessert) for your mom, I'm not familiar with the name. We have a restaurant nearby, they are from LI and the owners wife makes the cannoli's from scratch, my mom loves them, she loves sweets!!!! Sometimes you don't always get a good one down here.

Geri, Happy Birthday, we had plans to go to the Hard Rock in Tampa on my last trip but never made it, maybe next time.

TERI, did you put that slide show together, WOW I'm impressed, you did a great job, I loved looking at the photos, I don't know who everyone is but I did see a few faces I recognized and the ones that I DID recognize, you all look fantastic. I did recognize BO SANTO from Leo's, your famous cousin.

Anthony, welcome back and hope your're feeling better.

Suzie, your kids are about the same age as Geri's, do the two older ones live nearby? please add my X-husband to your prayer list that he passes peacefully, he has a short time left from lung and lymph node cancer, he smokes like a chimney, only 56 yrs. old. Thanks!!!!

Debbie, I know what you mean, I think it's harder to raise them today, the kids have so much more than we had, imagine raising 7 kids today? My sister and I are 20 mos. apart and we had to share everything, I hated it. My mom never worked and she raised 4 of us.

HELLO MY FRIENDS...

NO, GAS IS NOT MY PROBLEM..... LOL

All is well in that department. [-o<

I'm feeling 'great' today and the ultrasound was unventful.
The tech kind of hinted that he didn't see anything..
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I should get
results next week.

Actually, I was 'embarassed' after I wrote that I was having
the test done, cause that is so insignificant compared to what
most of you are going through. I actually went back and
deleted that post.



GERI - I HOPE YOU RECEIVED ALL MY BIRTHDAY WISHES....
and my card in the mail. The BEST to you, you special woman!
Lots of Love xxx

Thanks Festina for introducing me to "THE SHACK"

You all must check it out. I believe it is partly the reason why I
feel better today. Terry, you must get a copy to your friend
who lost her son last year.

Yesterday, I completed a chapter that brought me to my knees in
tears, and it was very cleansing. You know that saying "when the
student is ready, the teacher will appear."

So thanks Festina for the excellent, timely recommendation..

Thank you God for the message.


LOVE & BLESSINGS TO ALL,
Fxxx
