Thanks. Have you known anything to run smooth for a long period of time? I haven't something happens that provides a new challenge or upsets the apple cart.
-
Thanks. In life there is no such thing as a smooth run, there is always something that likes to throw a wrench in the works.
-
Thanks Chris, I'll be back posting in a few days

Thanks. Moving is a three phase job. Phase one - packing, phase two - actual move and phase three- unpacking. Then where is this, where did this come roman, I don't need this, this place is much smaller I'll have too get rid of this. It asked twice as long to find places for your 'stuff' then it did when you packed it. Absolutely last move for me.

She has 6 bedrooms and even though no one may occupy them, they still need freahing up. I think the boys will help a little.

I would love to move in with Tony, Amalia and the boys. Unfortunately,. that isn't possible.
-
Thanks, I'll be back shortly
-
Yes, no sheep. Absolutely. I am still "in the move" phase. I am now living in an independent home and to go from a small home to an even smaller home, I'm still unpacking.

The goats will arrive, sooner or later

Arriving home, I was amused to see a sign posted over the gate, ‘Welcome Home, Mr. and Mrs. Graignano.’ “I wonder what surprises are waiting for us.” “Whatever they are going to do, it’s better to get it over with.” “Tradition says I need to carry you over the threshold.” I put the bags down, picking Amalia up we entered the house. “It’s too quiet. Something is up.” I took our bags to our bedroom. Coming back down the stairs, I heard whispers. Putting my finger to my lips, I

Chris, I wish I had written that in the story. I may have to copy that and include it in the book. Thanks, the sentiment you have expressed will be appreciated by Tony.

Take him on a pretend honeymoon. Go and have a change of scenery, try new food, take an adventure and do something you haven't done for a while. Celebrate in anyway you can.
-
It's never to late to celebrate a milestone like a 10th,. 15th. 20th. 25 anniversary. Just make sure they speak a language you understand. I went to Hawaii once, it was nice but very expensive.

Yes like when you take a vacation which you hope will never end, then you wake up one morning and realize you better move your butt or you'll miss your plane ride home.

Taken into accounts that Tony is the 6th generation from the original grandfather. His mother was the youngest. It was 1913-1915 when Pa bought his Chevy. Add to that Pa and Nonna's children of which the last was Tony's mom. This would place the time frame in the 1950's, more or less.

Yes, unfortunately that is life

I had reserved the Italian Club for our wedding party. Uncle Angelo being the chef at that Club, handled the food. I had a wedding cake from the only Italian baker in town sent to the Club. Charlie, Amalia, and I sat on the carriage as we drove through the town and the University. Arriving at the Club, Charlie took the carriage home, and Dad followed in his car to bring Charlie to the Club. We had a small combo that played a lot of Italian songs. Uncle Angelo said the Club used them fo

A family that has joined together through respect and acceptance

A poet. If it was up to Tony's mother, Amalia would be pregnant now. She can't wait to be a Nonna. You can count on her making comments about having children to Tony.
-
Amalia needs to establish her place in an all male environment. I think she will have all of the guys at her beck and call. The boys will look upon her as a sister.
-
I think Tony showed them that he has fully accepted them as brothers. And I'm not sure about the screaming from the apartment. That probably happened a long time ago.
-
I think what Tony did was a sign of brotherhood. He couldn't deny Brad and Tom's request.
-
Let's say they were in the wedding. Tony didn't have the traditional wedding arrangement. No best man, in fact I don't know what is the role of the best man in a wedding. I agree with Tony allowing the boys to exchange rings.
