Today is Frank's 48th birthday!! 
September 3rd....The best day of the year!!! Only kidding, I like when the kids are home, but after having them home the whole summer, it's time to let them go again.These pictures are in order starting with Franky leaving at 7am, to Daniella Bella Rina leaving at 8:50am, and Dominic leaving at 11:30am for his vocational school, but that's just for today. Dominic's high school doesn't start until tomorrow, at which time HE will be the first one out the door with the bus coming at 6:25am.YUK!!
Rocco said "you don't need to take pictures,it's my 4th year at this"
(college) And his point???
8:50am
So pretty!!
Angelo and Mario were upstate so long I almost forgot how much noise the two of them make!! I'm only kidding, I'm so glad they are back, and now I got rid of Dominic and Franky for a couple of weeks!!! Now, IT WILL be quieter, and neater too... 
That's right, Today is our 26th wedding anniversary! I just can't believe it's been that long already. Everyone always says how fast the years go by , but I'm telling you, the years really are flying by. Today we went to the Victorian Tea Room in Farmingdale. It was so nice. Then tonight we went to Ciao Baby for dinner. We always wanted to go there, since it's only about 10 minutes from our house, plus we always hear such good things about it. What they say was true!! The food was really great and the portions were....Let me just say we took home more then what we ate! It was a great day.
So, we usually leave the house at about 6:15pm to get to church on time on Wednesday nights. This Wednesday night, we left at 5:45pm because we needed to stop in Holbrook to pick something up for Rocco before church. Big mistake. Here we are minding our own business, when a women decides to make a left turn out of a gas station. She needed to go through the long line of cars that were waiting for the light to change, being she couldn't see if there was any oncoming traffic coming, she relied on a car to look for her and when he said go, she went. But we were coming up along side of him in the left lane. Why he didn't see a big silver van is beyond me. Well, that's when we met Lucy. The worst part is, that guy that waved her on, left, he didn't even stay to offer any help. As you can see, we didn't get much damage, a broken light, some fender dents, a dented hubcap, and the alignment is all messed up, but all in all, not too bad. Her car is another story. It could have been so much worse being we both swerved into the oncoming traffic lanes. Thank God no body was coming at the time, it would've been a very multiple vehicle accident!! What makes matters worse for us though, is that she took her boyfriends car, and he doesn't have any insurance!! If he's not willing to pay for the damage, then our insurance company has to pay for the whole thing, and that won't be good. She couldn't get in touch with him, so we don't know what will happen yet. I'm just glad that no one was hurt, and even though it WAS her fault, she was really nice and did admit it. 
Anthony loves working on cars!! It doesn't matter if they are big or small. I think since he has had this gas powered car, he has fixed it twice as many times as he has "driven" it.
Going to The City.
