FOR TODAY... I've decided to pick certain pictures from my life of long ago & share them with you! I hope you enjoy them. Today is my Mom's 100th Birthday, so here she is ENJOY! God bless! She was 4' 10", but she swore that she was 5" tall. (hehehe "Mom, take off your shoes"!) Now her Mom (NaNa) was 4' 6" & there was no arguments, but if we were weighing HER..... THAT'S a different story! Gramma would get so excited if she thought it was too much!!! The English went out the window & she would talk Sicilian/Italian. Those two were just too funny, but I wouldn't change one thing about either one! I miss them both very much! I stayed there a lot to help them out growing up. Gramma didn't believe in store bought bread or mops! You either made it or go without & hands & knees were the only way to clean a floor, but I always got rewarded with a piece of candy or italian ice & of course a smooch & a hug! Now back to mama, if she was weighing herself OFF CAME THE SHOES!!!!! LOL). Like that made a difference. I hope you enjoyed learning about Mama & my grandparents. Believe me there's a lot more, but maybe that only entertains me & the kids. They love hearing the stories of Gramma and NaNee! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA! I MISS MY LIL' MAMA SO VERY MUCH! Gramma was 4'6" & mama was 4' 10"! Oh, and the pictures more or less tell her story, and yes she did love to dance and did not look her age! I LOVE YOU MAMA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'll let her pics do the rest! ![]() |
