Deb, sorry about Edith; I never realized she was your sister when we 'prayed' for her last year and in the past. My heart to you!

Patsy, Toniann is precious and I love her spirit and spunk. Wonder who she got that from?

Festina, I totally forgot about knuckles' card game. Remember you
would get 'spanked' with the deck of cards' flat side and it was no big deal.
I think if the person giving dropped the cards, they got their knuckles done
too. Then there were the times when we'd get knuckled with the edges of
the cards and we'd do it till our knuckles bled. Masochists. Thanks for
the sick memory LOL.

.

right?
LOL!!

Back in the day ...we would sit on the stoop after having dinner.....I would love to see my Mom talking with Dottie DeAngelo ....We would give Dottie the eye to keep talking to my Mom ....so we could stay out later.....LOL

---------------------------
That's funny Suzie, I remember those hot summer nights and
one of the things I miss about B'klyn, sitting out at night and not getting bit by mosquitos!!!!! I could hear Mr. Softee coming down the block, hey kids, get your change ready!!! LOL

Oh yeah, we would squeeze the whole family in the kitchen, some would sit, some would stand and the little kids sat on their parents laps and sipped their coffee, that's how I became a COFFEE DRINKER!!! LOL

THATS WHEN KIDS DID NOT STAY ON THE VIDEO GAMES AND COMPUTERS AND IPODS ALL THE TIME. WE USED OUR IMAGINATION WHEN WE PLAYED AND WE WERE ALWAYS INVOLVED IN FAMILY THINGS.
