No Photos Today!!!! Just checking in to make sure I still know my password! I have an adorable album to show...it was a kit of my good friend Kristie however I did change it up to highlight another color.... is that allowed? (I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings!!!!) Any who I have been out of commission since my last post!!! Oh and if you think I am yelling with all of the !!!!!! I do talk very loud and today I am HURTING!!!!! Yes it is friday and a good friday it has been - sidenote- Lynese and the kids came to visit Nani and I and then Teta came for lunch and then gave me a knitting lesson. I gave up learning to knit at age 7 and stuck with just croching! So ...... yes it was a good day but I am on 24 hour duty with Nani and am worn out. I am glad to be with her but I need days off.....Lynese did mention another beach day on tues........that makes me very happy! I had my first beach trip of the summer last fri and what a great time with Lynese and the kids and Kristie and her girls. FUN FUN FUN!!!!! so just tired and wanted to check in! I do have photos to post so maybe after Nani goes to bed? check back soon!

I am soooo excited.....I did it! and here to show my new skill......This is JOSIE aka josie beans or tiny or stinker beans. She is just to cute! We just got back from visiting! Lorissa treated the group (mom, lynese, pumpkin, little one and me) to Fairyland in Oakland. Another photo opp with lots of wonderful photos!!! Well the photp popped up top ...... but at least you can see them. I am the photo taker. (should you wonder why I say photo verses picture? Pumpkin stopped letting me take his picture but when I said "photo" it was like a whole different experience- he smiles for getting his PHOTO taken! Will post again soon!

Hello out there!!! I am going to post a photo today!!!! I think I just figured it out!!!!! oh my - this could very exciting for all of you that really do read these ( Hi Margie!) I am going to do some clean up and I shall return!

Why does it feel like Monday?

Well if it was ....it would have been my birthday and that my friends was a fabulous day!!! I went to Disneyland and was joined by another birthday girl...my twin Lynese. We can't believe we are 38! Her children, pumpkin and little one, with my parents also went. Here's the cherries on top...Dean, my other sister Lorissa and her little one, tiny were there too!!!!! I am telling you, it does not get better than that :) If there is not a disney photo posted there will be soon. I miss Josie. Lo and Nate and Josie Beans are coming to visit again in two months but I miss them so...........(sorry Nate) Josie took her first steps while playing with her Teta (that's me)! So sweet, so funny, she makes my heartache. It was a great visit. So to the other parts of my life that you normally read about......I mixed biscotti today...baking tomorrow. I am taking Nani to my teta Diane's. She is Nani's sister. It is a half day for me. I have also pulled out the sewing machine to learn it.....Dean and I have a fun weekend planned- oup!-my computer is dying and to lazy to get the cord!! Just want to close with...Margie, my friend, what a pleasure to see you today and I am praying for you! I love you!

I'm the lucky birthday girl!

Why yes it is still thurs the 4th of June and today is not my birthday but it is a Very Merry Unbirthday to me --- to me! Lorissa and Josie arrived today! She is just getting so big and is SOOOOO ADORABLE and I am very sad to say that I took an adorable photo of her today and I haven't figured out how to add the photo's to this yet! .....but Lorissa is coming over to hang out and SHE may know- hee hee...this could be real good. We are celebrating Josie's First Birthday. Can you believe it - my oh my! When I use ! does it mean I am yelling? I just talk loud and am very excited. Monday the 8th is Lynese and I's 38th birthday! (Yes! I am using it.) I can not believe it. I say this every year but I love my birthday but for some reason am having a hard time this year. 38 is a great age to be. We also have planned for our birthday a trip to Disneyland!!!!!!!!! I am so pleased that Lorissa and Josie (sorry Nate but I know you really don't want to go) are here and going for her first birthday! yea!!!! I would be perfect if Dean could go but it will be mom , Lynese, Lo, Pumpkin, Little One, Tiny and me. My Dad may join us after work, that would be good :) So looking forward to that! I wish mimi could go. We did have an unfortunate happening this week. If anyone who may read this prays, please pray for the healing of Paul. He is the brother of my Uncle.
I hope he will be able to pull through. It is a reminder to enjoy your life...love your family....and do what you love everyday because things can change in the blink of an eye. Which is why I am enjoying my 38th birthday. I have a wonderful husband, my sister and Josie are here, my family is going to be with me. Here's to great VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAYS!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning! I am going to attempt to get better at this! I am shouting out again. Yesturday Nani asked my mom to call her priest to give her her last rights. I can not begin to think about this......my nani. Nani is going to be 90 this august and other than neuralgia and arthritis (which I can barely handle my own pain but at 90!) she is healthy, well all the tests show she is anyhow. She does get worn out and Easter was a very good day for her, around all her family. When I left her yesturday I told her that today had been her day off and tomorrow to get ready because exercise and sunshine were in her forcast. So we shall see..............Now on to the other part of my heart. Grandma Vergilio's Biscotti is looking for a way to get out there. Farmer's markets are not cost effective for me but I would love to get out there and thank you to Wendy, the lovely owner at California Stlyes in Canyon Lake who had given them out to her salon's customers this last christmas and valentine season (good reviews). So I am trying to figure it out! I have been sidetracked with my scarfs ( they are so adorable, if you like ruffles!) and my address / recipe books are one of a kind that are not only useful but fabulous! I will be posting photos of these beauties soon......and that is a promise. To those that know me, really I am!!!!! x:)x:)x:)x:) Share a Smile today ;)

Hello out there! I really don't think anyone is really reading this but I really like doing a shout out! Well, I have many of things going on and today I am lucky enough to be going to my teta's house for lunch with my nani, Lorissa (my sister) and her little one Josie. I take care of my grandmother (Nani) and she is declining. Everyday is just a little bit slower, a little bit more confused and now a lot more sleeping. In the past year she seems to be able to bounce back from a few bad days but the last month and a half......there is no bouncing going on. For you that know my relationship with my nani........I am lucky enough to still have her here with me and it is breaking my heart to feel that my quality time is limited. Gone is the Nani that I learned from, played with and could turn to when the world wasn't right. I love her so much......still enjoying everyday.
