A Fabulous Day -

A friend had tickets to see the stage play "Mamma Mia" so we spent the day yesterday driving to Fort Lauderdale, taking in the sites and seeing a great play. If you haven't seen the Movie, you have to see it. It is a great "chick flick" with a lot of happy songs!

I took some pictures before the play, we had orchestra seats, there were a lot of Mother/Daughter combinations. It was a fun filled day!
While we were walking around the Art's Museum, there is a canal going by and this "little" boat came by, can you imagine?

Happy Birthday Ivan -


Ivan, are you still taking your mom and dad for a ride? Hope school is going good for you and that you don't miss grandma and grandpa very much - or maybe you will be coming down to Aunt Chris's for a visit. WOW, talk to mom about that!

A Frank Story from Artie in AZ:




I remember when Frank had his Honda minibike. He looked like a monkey on a tricycle. MaryAnn told the story of him coming home from church on a Saturday night in his new suit. When they got home his buddies were waiting with their bikes to go for a ride. Without even changing clothes, he was on his bike and gone. Of course the suit was destroyed by the time he got home with that silly *‘shit eatin’ grin on his face. Mary was livid, but what good does that do?

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANK!


Look who has a birthday today - yup, you guessed it - our favorite brother, uncle, father, husband, friend - Frank!!!! I'm sure everyone has a story to tell on him, would love to hear some of them.

Frank enjoying himself with Jim - always the life of the party.


Wonder who is telling the biggest tale?

Back in the day, the small town cop would walk through the ally and check to make sure all the doors were locked for the business people. Frank and Mark would lay in wait, take the cop car and hide it from them. Little dickens anyway!
Happy Birthday, Frank!!!
