Well my daughter Janelle called and said they wished
they had money to gamble ....so they went to the buffet
to eat. The Buffet gave them (2) $10 vouchers....so my
son-in-law Jim went to play the machine and put the 1st
voucher in and the bells went off....the old lady next to him
said, "shit he just sat down!" He didnt even know he won $800
then he put the 2nd voucher in and hit for $50. The old lady
asked him for $10- and he said, "lady I have 2 kids I need
all the money I can get"! Now, I just hope they dont blow it back
before tomorrow.....
Samantha and the dog (Brandi) are both doing fine! -

[quote="Suzie"]Hi Everyone ....
Warren those pics are amazing that Joe posted ....I cant believe the one
where they were starting to build the Verrazano. 2nd ave in the 40's
is where I learned how to drive a car.....never thought of getting pulled
over by the Cops back then! I love OLPH's Church ...simply beautiful!
Hey Sue, you may find this hard to believe but I learned to drive on 2nd ave in the 40's also but in 1953. There was no traffic there but I think I remember cobble stones. On one of my first lessons my father told me to turn around (U-Turn). He forgot to tell me to slow down first and I almost turned the car over!!!What did I know. Never drove anything before that except drive my parents crazy!!
