THANKSGIVING

To some people thanksgiving means parades , food , food and more food. But all you in blog world, to me it is more. Family ( we all know that family includes...  In-laws , cousins , aunts and uncles (zios and zias ) ), friends and God. For with out all three I have nothing to be thankful for, oh yeah and food lol lol lol. So as we all sit down to Thanksgiving dinner say a little prayer for all our family and friends.

I think Life is like a road trip (the road being our family) and the stops we make along the way ( the friends we make) may come or go depending on how much we put into it but the road will be there always. Not always in good shape but with a little work it can be smooth again. So I say to all my friends and family " I love you all". And as the say in China  "buon appetit".

What a day

This past week was one for the books. We lost a Person some called Wife some called mother some called grandmother and most called Friend. Yes that was Barb Nicolini. My brother and I went to Florida to be with our dad at this hellish time and it was not fun. What was nice was all the friends one gathers in there life. His Friends baked, cooked and were there for my dad with love.How sad this world would be with out Family and friends. I stop to try to remember what my life was before I met my wife Sandy and it was empty. Then what it was like with out my kids and it was the same empty. You collect friends along the way some go and some stay. I have a friend that is still there. He was there from mud pie making with real mud , rock throwing , Tree climbing to marriage Godfather to Jake and to talk to about things even today. Love you bud !!!!! So with out family and friends what do we have ??? I think we don't have much. So to my family and my many friends I say I love you all and to my DAD I say you are the best and I love you and hope if you ever need me again I will be there.
