We have to get a restaurant with a back room that we can all talk and mingle.
I know someone that has a bar in Carol Gardens. Not a big place but big enough for around 20 people maybe 25. Just an idea. Anyone know a restaurant???? oh I do Mamma Raio in Brooklyn and the rex has a real nice small room and I know the Rex he will give us a good deal...Just a thought or a few thoughts. Gino"s has great foo but u cant hear yourself or others talking...Food is great but u cant socialize too noisy.If we are doing this and going to a restaurant with more than 10 people we have to call now....
c u later have to feed my Mia.

mornin ter - the rex is a nice place, i know someone who works there.
mornin debs and helen too.

i know the owners i used to do their balloons...
i love them, chris, john and steve

great. let me know if u want me to come with u.

yes we have to get a count asap
i think he fits 30 in that small room and it is private not like a restaurant but we have to get a date asap. i will be away 3 weeks in november.

send me the email list u have from the sign in sheet from the reunion and i'll make an invite.

Terry whatever I can do to help please just ask!!! I'm serious.....it's way too much for you alone. Did you say you would be gone for 3 weeks in November???

BACK TO WORK TODAY

A LITTLE LAFF TO START THE DAY

Love Making Tips For Seniors

1. Wear your glasses,
to make sure your partner is actually in the bed.

2. Set timer for 3 minutes,
In case you doze off in the middle.

3. Set the mood with lighting.
(Turn them ALL OFF!)

4. Make sure you put 911 on your speed dial before you begin.

5. Write partner's name on your hand in case you can't remember.

6. Use extra polygrip so your teeth don't end up under the bed.

7. Have Tylenol ready in case you actually complete the act..

8. Make all the noise you want.The neighbors are deaf too.

9. If it works, call everyone you know with the good news!!

10. Don't even think about trying it twice.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your sweetie says, 'Let's go upstairs And make love,' and you answer, 'Pick one; I can't do both!'

'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes And you're barefoot.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.

'OLD' IS WHEN....
You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.

'OLD' IS WHEN....
You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police .

'OLD' IS WHEN..
'Getting a little action' means you don't need to take any fiber today.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
'Getting lucky' means you find your car in the parking lot.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
An 'all nighter' means not getting up to use the bathroom.

AND

'OLD' IS WHEN...
You are not sure if these are facts or jokes?
But you'll share them anyhow!

REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU GET OLD
MANY YEARS FROM NOW

...and uncle jerry - i am praying for u and so sorry i missed u at the reunion.
...me, aunt jeanette, aunt marie and aunt rosie spend a lot of time talking, in fact, aunt marie and my mom too were talking on the phone there, reminiscing about ur grandparents and how they were a part of our family when they lived in our house on 21st street when gram lived on the top floor with the kids after my grandfather passed away.
it was very exciting for mom and aunt marie to re-connect.
my mom was screaming with excitment, and the stories were very heart warming.
God Bless U All!
...and please feel betta uncle jerry. we luv u all very much!
