A system underfunded and undermanned can and does lead to poor care
-
To the best of my knowledge the grandparents did own the farm.; I think Jim in his enthusiasm had jumped the gun, a little.
-
Thank you, I hope I live up to your expectations.

I woke in the morning to a smiling face. “Joey, how long have you been awake? You need to go and put your robe on.” He giggled as he left. On my mental list, I needed pajamas for the boys. I got up, took a quick shower, dressed, as I do when I’m home. Heading for the kitchen, Pete was coming in from the garage. “No eggs this morning?” “No, but” “What’s wrong,” “There’s chicken poop all over the place.” “Okay, I expected that. As soon as we have breakfast, will go an

Jim agrees with you.
-
Yes, and the answer where it will lead is dependent on a 12 year old boy
-
I am sure Jim and Lenny will be on it
-
I think Jim may have another thought when he smelled the chicken shit
-
Yes he was and I'll bet Jim makes him pay for it in the end. I think he did own that property and that is why they hadn't harvested the trees.
-
I think for Jim it will be a walk in life he wasn't prepared to take, at first
-
I hope you enjoy it. I 3enjoyed writing it but it its a short story as compared to my last story

“Jeff, I think that wraps it up. I’m sorry the hunting wasn’t good this weekend. Maybe next week it’ll be better.” “That’s okay Jim, I came here with you more for the relaxation than the hunting.” “I’ve always loved this cabin. When Uncle Harry was still alive, I’d spend my summer vacations here. I think the quiet and the smell of the forests had a calming effect on me, it still does. Are you ready to go?” “Yes,” I closed up the cabin. Got everything packed in the car, and he

For some people, families are the last thing on their mind. Until fate steps in.
-
You are welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it
-
Thank you, Kev. I hope you and your family have a blessed Easter.
-
Yes,. history is repeating itself. Scott is recreating Sunday at Nonna and Pa's. He has and will continue to make contact with the village. I suspect that will be an annual event. Angelina has started school. English at school and Italian at home. In some ways a repeat of Scott's life. I hope you enjoyed reading this story. It meant a lot to me.
-
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, the farm is becoming a business thanks to the small grocery store and the cafe at the University.
-
You are very welcome.
-
Thank you Chris. I miss my family and so when possible, I include a little of them in my stories. I'm glad that you have a family to enjoy and as the Covid19 becomes manageable, people need to have the opportunity to renew their family interactions. Family traditions are what secures us to life. For me, it was my grandparents and our Sundays. May you have a great Easter.
-
Thank you and may you have a happyy Easter as well. Don't eat to much Easter candy. Do you like the marshmallow peeps? I think the only time you can buy them is Easter

For Scott it was essential that the family meetings continue. He had a special place in this heart and life for Nonna and Pa. He had to have something that tied him to the past and to his grandparents. Hopefully Gene's young boy, will continue the tradition when the time comes.
-
Some things in life we repeat, particularly if they have a special meaning. For Scott, those Sunday family meetings were very important, they connected him to family.

It has been a year since Pa has joined Nonna, it has been a year of missing the family that was drawn to Nonna and Pa. We haven’t seen Gene and Lou for several months. Things didn’t seem right something was missing. One night I was talking to Mom and I mentioned that I haven’t been to Nonna’s and Pa’s home since his funeral. She told me maybe I should think about building that outdoor oven. I remember that’s where Pa and I had the best times, we talked, drank his wine and I got to know the man h

Nonna and Pa are very important to Scott. There was no hesitancy on Scott's decision. he knew that they needed one last time in the village of their birth.
