Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Hi All-
Happiest birthday to Gina Guzzo, Helen's Mom and
my wonderful Cousins Elisa and Joe Joe.

Aunt Jeanette! I remember Grandma's beautiful singing voice. She was truly amazing. I can't say which was better, her cooking or her voice!

Enjoy the rest of the working day. Helen, I'm with you, the clock is not moving. Is it a Red Hook thing?

LOVE TO YOU AND MOM GINA. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY ON HER BIRTHDAY

WHEN I was small my Mom would go to the macaroni store on 5th (Maresi's spelll)
they would always have connie
francis on. Do u guys remember the big back room. (maybe it was not that big but when u r small it seems very large) Soooo when i was a kid I always thought Connie Francis lived in the back cause her music was always on...I THINK THE NAME WAS MORRISI...GREAT STUFF THERE

Franny Bruno and Carol Miele both worked for that macaroni store i their teens...

Geri - I don't know what happened to my picture...I was playing around again...LOL LOL and it disappeared, I am too busy at work right now to fix it..I will work on it tonight.... Have a great day.

Busy at work...Hi to all...peek back later

Happy Birthday Helen's MOM

Hello Park Slope ...

Festina, glad mom got my message earlier.... And that she liked my
combo Rap/Opera Birthday Song LOL. Sorry I missed her call,
just got back from docs. God Bless her - I told her she is 'representin'
for our moms who can't be with us!

Robert, love those Mallimars... thanks for reminding me that they are
back in season... along with egg nog and all my Fall fatening favorites.

Yes, Carol and I worked in the Macaroni Store for what seemed like
a lifetime. We have great memories of that experience and I know I
have shared those before on the 'old' blog. J.P.Morisi

Right Carol M, FF? (The grated cheese story/walk-in freezer was my favorite.)
I know you're agreeing with me right now.

MaryAnn L - hope you have survived the past week. I'm sure the losses were very difficult. Peace to all the family and those who are now resting with God. I'll have to go back and check my picture for 'you' oh my, where did it go?

Of course I remembered little Deb and her brother leaving today. I cannot imagine the pain that family is experiencing right now. Deb - hang in there and keep the faith! Looks like you got some great advice here from these folks, especially those who have unfortunately shared your experience.


Happy Birthday, Anniversary and ........ to all who are celebrating.
Get Well Wishes for all who are ailing, expecially Eeenie Pizzini :roll:
(Paul, please pass on my wishes).

Don't like to 'name' folks - not wanting to exclude anyone. Thinking of you!
And sending you Many Blessings!

Will check back in later with another joke.... Boy's behave yourselves while the girls are gone...

Hi Festina:

I just want to wish your mother a very happy birthday. I wish for her
many more years of GOOD HEALTH. With that, she has everything.
Love to you both.

He Franny:

How are you? I hope everything went well with the doctor. We really
missed you at the reunion. Don't worry, when you come up we are
planning to get together even if its only for coffee.

As for us we're OK. Getting ready for Halloween. The baby seems to
understand it more this year. She keeps us grounded and makes like
nice and simple for us. I hope you're enjoying Florida because is
friggin cold here today. It was in the 40's last night

Love, good health and Gods blessings always. LOVE.............

LOVE to you and the Family, Donna. Thanks for your kind words and
ongoing prayers. I'm off the prayer list now!

I will let you know when I reschedule my trip. Enjoy Halloween, I look
forward to pictures of the baby all dressed up. I love Halloween and
already decorated my house. Since I was packing to move last year
I missed decorating for all holidays. So now, I celebrate!

Hey, it's cool here too (64 this morning). However, the weather is changing
and it is now entering the Perfect 10's - sun, low humidity. Looking forward
to the change; even though I cannot complain about the summer.
Can't believe I will be living here 9 Months this month.

Again - Love and God Bless ...... My best to little Kenny from his schoolmate
