The blog just told me I move too fast SLOW DOWN. What the hell???

I think this is funny....

I posted this on facebook because Mike cracks me up.

I don't know what I did or what I said to him as usual ....but....and I quote......."You can really turn someone into an Ax Murderer" lol MEEEEEEEEEEEE Little old me. lol

Hi Everybody,

I am back at work today, thank God I am so busy, it doesn't give me much time to think. I just feel numb, I don't really feel like it happened. I wasn't too bad when I came in this morning, but as soon as I started to see all the stuff I left behind last week, I noticed my moms Mother's Day card sitting on my desk, along with a card for my daughter (Mommy to be card). I had a note to mail them this week, because I was supposed to be going on a cruise this Saturday ( we since canceled the cruise)... That hit me hard....

I just want to thank everyone again for all the calls, cards and coming to the wake. It really meant a lot to me.

Regards,

Judy

Judy in box me Jolene's address on facebook or my email [email protected]. Tell Jolene to text her phone number to Lori she lost all her contacts n her phone..Oh and her last name.

Good Morning All,

Cloudy day

Have a great day...

Hi,

I just want to wish my husband Bobby a Happy 31st Anniversary. I have to say he has really been there for me the last couple of years. Every weekend running back and fourth to Staten Island. I missed many Sunday's making my Sunday dinner and he never complained....Geez he even started to make his own meatballs (which by the way really sucked!!!!!). Well this past Sunday, even though it was the day after we buried my mom, I had to make meatballs, meatballs frying always reminds me of my mom (as I am sure everyone feels the same about their own mom)

So Happy Anniversary and thank you......

Happy Anniversary Judy and bobby,

Happy Anniversary Judy and Bobby!!!! Judy you cracked me up saying his meatballs sucked and it's weird how things like the smell of certain foods can provoke such good memories!!!!

Hope everyone stayed dry today.....

Have a good night all

Hi Anna and Debbie

Hello All,

Well, they tore out our old counter tops & sinks yesterday and today the "Stonetop" guys are here installing our Quartz counter tops and new sinks. Later today the plumber will come and hook everything back up. What a mess. We have cabinet drawers and their contents all over the guest room including the bed as well as a good portion of the great room table & floor. We are very pleased with the countertop pattern & color that we picked from a small slab.

Judy, your meatball story reminds me of two things. First of all MY meatballs are not so great. They are not lousy but neither are they the best. Also, years ago a restaurant in NJ opened near us and they bragged about their Italian food. We went there and their meatballs reminded me of the Dog food we gave our Dog Ralph. Not everyone makes great meatballs! #-o

My Mom made the best meatballs. She would hide them after she fried them because we would come home from church and eat them. Gravy bread and meatballs was my Sunday breakfast. lol

White wonder bread soaked with Mom's gravy. Oh and Parmesan cheese.

Sunday mornings the smell of fried meatballs and gravy on 20th and 21st street. Now most neighborhoods smell like fried rice in Brooklyn. lol

The only Chinese people I knew were the Chinese restaurant owners and workers and the Chinese Laundry guy sown the block from me next to Toddo's.Remember picking up my Dad's shirts in the brown wrap paper with the string (cord) wrapped so neatly around the shirts. My Mom would say go to the Chinks (lol) and get your Dad's shirts...If you say that now (Chinks) you are in big trouble..You will be called a racist. lol Little story fo the day. Have to try and keep this blog going and keep up with Warren and his stories. (only his are much better)

Hi all.....

Hope everyone is having a good week despite the weather.

Warren enjoy your new countertops
