An Italian get-away this past weekend…
At my cousin’s house on the east coast of FL…
A reunion with our cousin from NJ!
One big, happy family…
Filled with…
Our fathers were brothers…
Raised by our Italian Grandma…
Felicia
We all lived near each other in NJ…
Played together…
And went to church together…
There’s definitely a family resemblance…
But, I’ve noticed lately that…
We tend to favor our Mothers in appearance!
We felt like we were at a “5 Star” Bed and Breakfast!!
While talking about our…
In our Lord!
Cousins!!!
And cousin-in-laws…
The beautiful scenery brings…
And family teasing from our cousin from Oklahoma…
Who before he married my cousin…
He had called…
“Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee”
In a can…
Italian food!!!!
Oh, horror!
We’ve since changed his mind…
And now he says…
“I want some SAAAAAAAAAAUCE”
Whenever he talks to us!!
Good boy!
So funny!!
Let’s add my son to the merry mix!!
Our very special hostess!!!
Such a blessing!!
She cooks, she cleans, she’s sweet…
My son wants to adopt her!!
I do, too!!
She makes us want to…
And be together!
To do what Italians do best…
Eat…
While everyone’s talking at the same time!!
Let’s cook and discuss!!
And…
The blessing of family!!!
La Mia Famiglia!
Ahhhh…
All together in one place again!!
One beautiful place!
We don’t want to leave!!
Come join us!!
Additional signs should say…
EAT!
TALK!
LAUGH!
LOVE!!

believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.”
