Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Terry - Enjoy your Chankah dinner with your daughter-in-law and her family.

Patsy - How are you feeling today? I am sorry you are so sad. You and your girlfriends family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Suzie - Hope you are feeling better today.

Peek in later.

Hello. Thanks to all for your input on the Hickey's I am looking for. None of your descriptions or locations fit the family I had in mind. The only Duffy's I knew of in the neighborhood was the Funeral Parlor on 9th street. I did not know them as friends but had to go their for viewings and as a kid I delivered meat their from the butcher I worked at.(Palace meat Market accross from Germains.) Speaking of Germains, does anyone know if that beautiful clock that was on the sidewalk in front of the store is still there???

Terry. Did you notice that one of my messages was in RED. I failed several attempts also but found out that if I typed my reply and then HIGHLIGHTED the message before I hit color, red it worked.[color=red]

Good Morning Warren,

Hope your holidays were filled with joy and love and everlasting memories.

Wishing you and your wife (What is your wife's name) a very Happy New Year.

Love,
Judy

HEY WARREN,
Yes I did notice and i was still trying to do it. I have such a pain in my head for two days maybe it is from that lol Warren maybe I should move in with Franny and Frank for a few months when they go to Florida and get rid of all these aches and pains.
I did the same thing u did, I think possibly it may be that I have an apple lap top. It does not matter. It is so great to here from u these past few days.
WOW Carols mom is still on 13th street HOW OLD IS SHE...????? WOW
LOVE TERRY

Hello Terry,
You are welcome anytime. I just made reservations for my sis, she's coming Feb 19th for a week. Can't believe this is happening.... "Sign
of Cross" -- no moloyka (spell?)... no evil horns.... Hope you're better...
Love You!

HI WARREN -

Always great to hear from you..... Sending you continued blessings for
health, peace of mind, and love - for 2009! Enjoying and thankful for
a day-at-a-time!!!! Right??!!


Well, I did a Mapquest from my 'new' home to Sun City Center, FL.
We will be approximately 53 Minutes - 51.11 Miles from Pebble Beach
Blvd and/or N Course Lane (didn't know you're exact location).
That's a piece of cake.....


Once we are slightly settled (can take years) :roll: So I'm not waiting
till I'm settled.... I would like for Frank (my husband) and me to come up someday and take you and your wife to lunch. We'll pick you up wherever you are - and we'll have a fun day. I would be honored if you will give me that gift!


Love,
Francesca
(soon to be - from VENICE....)


P.S. Warren, have you been down to Venice?

Hi Terry,
Carols Motheris 93. She has been living in the same house on 13th St since she was 3 years old. 90 years!!!I am sure she is the senior member of her block.

Hi Francesca, Thank your for the kind words and wishes.
We have never been to Venice but have driven passed there to go to friends that used to winter on Marco Island. We live in a gated community in Sun City Center called Kings Point. The entire town is not that big and we are only about 10 minutes from the area you mentioned. I can see I-75 from our front gate.

Some hints on Florida living. DO NOT swim or wade in any lakes. The Alligators own them. Do not believe people when they tell you to get rid of your winter clothing. Most of November and the beginning of December this yesr had AM temperatures in the high 30's to low 40's. This past week has been perfect with am in the 60's and afternoons about 80o. But comes next month we can expect some more cold. It will not last that long and most afternoons will be comfortable but in the morning mostly in January and the first half of February you will need some warm clothing. November really fooled us this year because that is normally one of our best months. If you are buying a home change your residency as soon as possible to be able to qualify for the Florida Homestead Realty Exemption. May be too late for 2009. Check with tax assesor's office. Do NOT challange anyone in a pickup who may cut you off. Some of them think we have the laws of the old west! If you go away in warm weather be sure to keep your A/C turned on to no less then 80o. You do not want to come back and find Mold. Outside of all this it is a great place to live with plenty to do and see....Warren-Old Goat
