Something Cool...

I'm not a big fan of spiders or any bugs
for that matter, but I do think it's so
cool how this web is made and how
"Charlotte" as my sister Norma has
named her, keeps repairing her web.
This spider web has been up for about
a week already. I think Norma is starting
to get attached, she's worried that if it
rains it will be destroyed. When I was
taking these pictures, Charlotte was away
from her web but she'll be back. Norma
says she's big, hairy, and red ! I'm glad she wasn't there to pose for me !!

Anthony just havin' some fun....

Anthony had an 8:30 am appointment today to get the rest of his braces off. He said his teeth feel so good. It's been a long 3 years !! But it was worth it, he looks great.

After the appointment we had to go to the costume store to get another cowboy hat for Frank. While we were there, Anthony just had to try on some of the hats.

Hey Mon...

Look out Russell Crowe !!












Not your best look Ant...

My favorite.

Tim Graf better not see this one !!!

And I thought Frank wore many hats !!!

A Man With Many Hats....

Anyone who knows Frank, even for a short time, knows he can do anything and he does it good. But did you know he can bake? Bread? Yes he can, and he did, last night. I just mentioned that I wanted to make bread that had sun dried tomatoes in one and oil cured olives in the other. Well he heard that, and decided he would make 4 loaves. Yesterday after the morning service, he prepared the dough, let them rise, then kneaded in the tomatoes, olives, prosciutto and mozzarella cheese, he let them rise while we were at the night service, and when we got home from church, he baked them. They came out looking great. We tasted them this morning and they taste great as well.

Well Frank, you can add another hat !!!










Wait til they're cooled off Mario !!!

A New Football Star Is Born.....

Angelo started football practice on the first day of school, and has practice 6 days a week. Today he got his first pieces to his uniform. It will look better when he gets his shoulder pads and pants on Monday. Wednesday will be his first scrimmage and hopefully, next week his first game. His positions so far, will be offensive and defensive line. Rocco wants him to be a fullback or a linebacker, we'll see.
Good luck Angelo... " GO DALERS "



It's amazing how the uniform makes him look so mature.

( look at his "body guards" in the background )

She Did It...

Daniella Bella Rina learned to ride a 2 wheeler this week!! When she decided to learn she didn't stop until she did it. Norma, Franky, Anthony, and Rocco at one time or another, were all out there running with her, catching her, and all the stuff that goes along with learning to ride.What really got her motivated though, was when she started to get a little discouraged , I suggested she try and run me over, that got her going, it always worked with my boys too!!
It made her laugh, it's all in fun. Great job Daniella!!

Introducing....Dominic and Franky......

Check out Dominic and Franky's own blogs. As you
can see from their titles, they aren't what you're probably
used to, but I think they will give you a laugh or
two, especially Dominic's!
I'm looking forward to what they come up with.

BARRY GREER......

Here is our families very best friend Barry!! I can't
believe we "only" know him for 2 & 1/2 years. We
all feel so close and comfortable with him, it's like
he was always a part of our lives. The kids are always
asking about him, and when Frank gets home from
wherever, we all ask "did you hear from Barry today?"
When he comes over our house, we all, always have a
great time, plus he really spends a lot of time with the
kids from, playing football, games, or just getting
involved in a discussion about life and of course The Bible.



I love this picture, 2 really great friends.



My father-in-law and Barry in a
deep discussion, It's so nice how
Barry gets along with everyone.



Barry taking his pool game very serious!











Bible study time.











On the train coming home from
a car show in the city.





I love this picture.














Barry is always the first to help out
anyone in need. Here he's on the
phone giving directions to the game.

There's a little tiny house that's been
empty for years upstate just down the road from my in-laws. On the side and behind their land is this "stream". It goes on forever, Barry wanted to take the kids there so off we all went, even me! But Frank and I cheated and found a short cut to this beautiful spot!! I can't believe they all went in the water, they said it was "freezing."

Here's Barry riding on the running boards of my van. That's Norma driving, she walked back to get the van and come back for me!



Barry relaxing in between church services on Sunday. This is one of my favorite pictures,
I love when people are comfortable at my house. It's a great feeling.

HOME IS WHERE YOUR HEART IS.......

Thanks Barry for everything..... We Love you!!!
