Terry-it sure is a small world...I never heard of Naperville until I moved here...my ex-sister in law in Bensonhurst has a friend whose niece is a teacher in Naperville...when I was growing up I had an uncle who lived on Long Island who had relatives in Aurora (where I live now) but after I moved to Naperville I found out my uncle was born and raised there...I live about 40 miles west of Chicago and from April to October it's beautiful here-but after that-you don't want to go outside until summer!!!!! I hope this page improves-I don't think I can change these ads and close them up so I have more room here I'm missing a lot of words on the blogs cuz the ads are taking up the space!!! Love all the old pictures on here the last couple of days-Coney island and World's Fair...remember my Mom took me down to Coney Island every day by trolley (I was about 3 or 4) we used to take it on 19th St. and 9th Ave. (I think Bishop Ford H.S. is there now) What Memories................Good Night Everyone

Goodmorning Everyone.....

I had such a migraine last night ...I was in bed before 9.

Joe ...great pics of the Empire State Building ....I have never been in
that building yet....but maybe 1 day! I held onto the wall on the
Top of The Rock! LOL

To All of you who are really serious about quitting smoking.....keep
on going .......every day will get better and you just gave your lungs
some time to heal.
:flower:


Terry ....Ive been there till the end with a good friend and neighbor
from 17st .....Frances Spinelli (not related to the other Spinelli's with
so many kids) She had Colon Cancer that spread to her brain.
She told me she was talking to my brother Michael and he was with
her Grandparents. Then she would talk to me like nothing is going on
and stop as though to talk to someone else who wasnt there. It was
heartbreaking to see her fade away. My Heart is with all of you right now
maybe because Ive been there myself....

suzie

Debbie ....I love Nickelback also! Love the lyrics to most of them.....

patsy (miele) kirk

GOOD MORNING, SUZIE !!

suzie

ok ....Patsy ....I failed to paint my bedroom and the laundry room
but I have to do it .....just tryng to find a bedspread set to match a
color wall too! Maybe golds, browns & greens and rust ...not sure yet!

Ive been trying to put Nicole's new bedroom set together ...which is
Janelles old bedroom set....and I cut my finger open screwing the
mirror on ....so it knocked me out of commission for the night
besides my headache.....

Im so glad to hear Gino is stopping also!

suzie

Nicole (14) told me half the girls in her class smoke.....and they asked her
why she doesnt? I cant believe I have to show her the ugly pictures
of smokers lung ....to scare the shit out of her also!

Vinny (26) flipped....and started preaching to her also. I can believe it
seems like yesterday when I was preaching to him!

THANKS SUZIE.
i just look at her as her eyes roll back and she looks like she is dreaming and i wonder, wonder, wonder if she is seeing her Dad who passed or angels????
She is on her way home to God and it is us who suffer. you know and I know and u never forget...Especially when u are watching them die.
Her sister in law is getting photos ready, hubby getting his suit fixed. i say WTF!!!
but.......They are facing reality and I just block it out. I know it is coming ... whateverwill be but I will just hang in with my faith and it is in God's hands.
