a retro lunch
Today we had what I called a retro lunch. When we were little you could go to the local mom pop store in ur neighborhood and buy a big thick slice of bologna on italian bread with a orange crush soda for .25cents. Well I decided to make this for the girls today to see if they would like it. times have changed and here we dont have mom pop stores so I needed to make it our selves. So I purchased the thickest bologna I could find (couldnt find the big hunks you cut yourselves) and made some fresh italian bread and bought some orange crush. oh and by the way way more than .25 cents it cost:) Well the girls came back a second and third time. A simple lunch but a good time sitting in the backyard and eating our lunch. Brought back memories!

June activities
Well, it is already the 15th of June and we have started our summer with a bang. We have had our AHG ceremony which was very lovely. the girls had a wonderful time. then we went to the great National get outdoors day. They fished and met Smokey the bear and Woodsy the owl. They learned to use a compound bow and arrow. Just an all around fun day.
Carissa has sprinkled the Holy Water at Mass on Sundays, this Sunday she read the Prayers of the faithful and she did an awesome job.
Marissa is getting ready for her 1st camping trip with her squad (without Mom and Dad) She is excited I am nervous.
Larissa and Tarissa are doing great in Speech.
Lisa and Mikey are almost done with their finals in College for this quarter.
I am ending this note with here is to another fun filled summer.

My Aunt, My friend a mom to me
Well it is with a heavy heart I write this. I lost my Aunt on April 30th 2011. I feel like a piece of my heart has died. We were very close even though we lived 3000 miles away.
She was more than just an Aunt to me, She was there through thick and thin and even when she didn't approve of things I did she would let me know but still be there even if just in heart. As like when The time came for me to leave New York and start a life in Washington it took her a bit to really talk to me again without a sarcastic tone but in the end she knew I did the right thing. She had been more of a Mom to me than my own mother. She was the matriarch of the family and would let everyone know that she had forgotten more in her lifetime than we would ever know. Aunt Bev was My son Michael's' Godmother and she let our youngest four call her Grammy because they didn't have a grandmother that bothered with them and they so wanted one. Our youngest daughter has her name Jean which is the name she wanted her to have. I had not seen her in 11 years since I had moved from New York. You know how you always think you have more time than you do and next thing you know it is too late. Well, that is what happened and now there is nothing I can do about it. We had plans to go there this summer but instead I had to make an emergency flight out to see her buried and she never got to meet the girls in person. I sit back and think how if only I had went sooner. Well, I have this to say let your love ones know you you love them and take that extra time to go see them as you never know when they will be gone. I Miss you and Love you Aunt Bev. May you Rest in Peace.
