GOOD NIGHT, FRIENDS
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.. C U ALL IN THE MORNING..XX -
Happy Friday… and glad to see all survived Thanksgiving.
Judy, I’m sure this is a difficult time – especially when
everyone’s supposed to be happy. Suzie, I’m sure it is hard
for you too. It makes me sad for you both and all who have
family members suffering at this time (Carol and Patsy,
of course).
Suzie – yes we worked in macaroni store (Hi Carol).
We talked about this too many times on here - so I won't go
there, I promise LOL.. And yes, Carol and I were always mistaken for sisters…
Carol – remember you got in trouble with my dad at grandma’s wake – he thought you were me and he was talking to you - and you didn’t answer (or something like that).
Suzie – did you ever try the egg nog ice-cream (just had some
and thought to ask you).
Jeannette – thanks for the laugh of stories, especially
your ex-husband pulling up in the car. One of an ex-wife’s
greatest nightmares. At least you two are ‘friends’
Terry - thanks for the Pokeno memories. The game
always came out when our family got together –
I remember the chips were clear;
you could see through them. Wow – you just
brought me back to a great time. I can hear the
laughter around the table. And another memory
during that time was listening to Anthony’s post
of The Chipmunks. I remember playing that song
over and over again. Can’t believe what our
parents put up with (nothing compared to what
you parents of today have to deal with).
Helen – I didn’t realize you had so many ‘adult’
children… God Bless and enjoy the rest of your
shopping. Don’t forget something for yourself;
You deserve it. And tell Santa you want some
gift certificates for the nail salon you and Terry
harass.

HI SUZIE, THAT MUST BE A DIFFERENT KATHY. FRAN,NOW THAT U MENTION IT YES I DO REMEMBER WHEN YOUR DAD THOUGHT I WAS U AND I DIDN'T ANSWER HIM AND HE GOT MAD, UNTIL HE REALIZED IT WAS ME. LOL. HE WAS SUCH A GREAT MAN GOD BLESS HIM. ANTHONY GOOD FOR U FOR THINKING OF THE HOMELESS, I ALWAYS PUT ANY CLOTHES I DON'T WANT IN THE BOX FOR THE POOR, BUT I WILL NOW GO THRU MY COATS TO SEE WHAT I DON'T WANT. THANK U. OK GOING TO BED SEE U ALL TOMORROW. HAVE A GOOD NITE AND SWEET DREAMS ALWAYS.

FESTINA -
I went through my mail about an hour ago
and found your package. It took me all
this time to 'compose' myself......
You hit me between the breasts, right to
my heart - I hope I can come up with the
words to 'thank you' -
for your words, gesture, and treasure.
I will call you tomorrow....
Lots of Love until then xxx :pr:
..................................................
Ronnie J
I think I need to 'speak' to you too.
Will you please send me a private message
or email. I do not know how to reach you.
[email protected] :email me:
Thanks and Bless You!
