Hey everyone
It was a 2 1/2 hour drive to NH with no traffic. Was getting to be too much for both of us

Santino us ok. Still has ear infection. The RSV is no longer contagious, snd he’s feeling ok from that. Thank God

The castles were very pretty. You should Google them snd see the pics.

I’m exhausted. Was up early this am. Then had the girls from work over for belated birthday celebration. We had pizza snd cake. Pic of cake attached. It’s a Bundt cake from a bakery thst only makes Bundt cakes. Very yummy

I’m off to watch TV in bed. Lol

Hope Colleen’s MRI went well. Hope DD is ok too!!

Luv u guys!

Hey Colleen
I hope you are feeling better today! Please let us know when you get the results. I’m praying for you!!
Playing in the snow is always fun. Now it would be too cold for us. Lol
The sun is still not out up here. It’s going to rain again, and then a wintry mix into Tuesday. I swear if the sun comes out we’ll need sun glasses inside the house!!
We had deer on the mountain and in my neighbors yard yesterday. I like to think Gary sent them to make me smile for my birthday!! I’ll attach a pic
Bobby made breakfast for everyone this am. Marissa could not bring Santino because he has RSV and an ear infection. He face timed me. The poor thing’s voice sounds awful. I would love to hug him to sleep. His poor cute little self!
Later we’re having my favorite cake. Black Forest Cake. Bobby got it for me
Even though I’m missing my daughter, mother and husband, I am blessed with those I still have in my life. I pray God doesn’t take anyone else until I am WAY gone!!!!!
Happy Sunday Birthday day…. Lol
Adele

Hey Colleen
It was interesting for sure I think it’s why I hate to travel. I’d rather be in Mass, than go out of state I
Did like going to NH on weekends with Gary and snowmobiling with friends. But that’s as far as I cared to go. Lol
What I lived to do was your the castles in Germany on the weekends. They were so beautiful,!inside and out The gardens and grounds were spectacular! It was my favorite place to go
I’m sorry you fell snd don’t feel good. Please use the cane!! You can’t chance another fall. You can get a Hurry Cane. They come in pretty colors. Please be careful. Old people falling is how we can end up in a nursing home!!! I’m praying for you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️
Luv u!!!

Hey Gailster
I was 13. A freshman in high school. We came back in December just before Christmas. We landed in My Dad had his car sent ahead and we drove back to Boston in a snow storm. I was thrilled to be home with my Nonna, aunts snd Uncle. I missed my Italian relatives, snd the family gatherings where you could barely hear yourself talk. Lol
It was an adjustment. I didn’t do well in public school, in Boston. Way to crazy So, my Dad pulled me out snd put me in Catholic school.
My Dad was in the artillery in the war. Today he would have been called a sharp shooter??? Not sure. When he returned from the war was when he taught ROTC. He also taught soldiers his yo shoot. St the high school he had the drill team. They marched in every parade in Boston fir all the holidays. He was very proud of them.
My Dad NEVER talked about the war. Never spoke if what they did or what he saw. You just knew it was not nice. Not that war ever is nice.
It’s sleeting up here tonight. Yuck. Sipisdf to go to rain or snow.
I finished the coin purse for Steph. Pic attached 😃
Have a good night!
Adele

Hey Gailster
My grandfather was dying from cancer. So I went to Germany with my mother, and my Dad had to apply for active duty in Germany. He came months later. My grandfather lasted a year. My Dad and mom stayed for 5 years. First we lived at my grandfathers house, then we lived in base. We were in the Stuttgart area. Yes, I speak fluent German. I was only 8 when we went, so I picked up the language in a couple of months
My Dad was teaching ROTC at Harvard when he had to apply for active duty. He retired when we got home, 5 years later, and then taught ROTC at Gloucester High School after he retired.
So….. that’s the whole story! Lol
Hope Greg’s report is also good from the doctor. Sciatica is awful. I get it in and off from my back. It’s miserable. I know how he feels. Sorry he has to go through that!
Adele…. Prayers sent!!
