Somethings Never Change


Here is a rare photo of some of my siblings and me back in the olden days, circa December 1969.  I was the baby of 5 until my two youngest sisters, Tabby and Tasha arrived  21 years later.   From left to right, Pauly, Maria, Joey, Todd and Renee.  I can't help but notice how this is such a amazing snapshot into our future.  First, notice Joey holding the rifle and my head.  No doubt Mom or Dad is saying "Joey! don't you dare drop that rifle on the baby's head."  Joey has been an avid sportsman hunter ever since I can remember.  Todd has his fire engine in hand and has subsequently spent his entire adult life as a member of our hometown volunteer fire fighters department.  Just like in this picture, my siblings have often looked out for their baby sister.

  1. This is a great photo! From my personal experience, I know that the baby is well loved....not spoiled, right? I can't help but notice that you are smiling, happy and going along with the family flow. (Your siblings trained you well.) I look forward to seeing you all at Joe & Dolores' 50th anniversary party. Do you guys wanna stay with us?

  2. Hi Jennifer! You are right on the money, well loved, not spoiled! We are looking forward to our parents 50th and can't wait to see you. How do you feel about the addition of a well loved pug as a house guest? No pressure...

  3. I don't see why it would be a problem. We have 2 dogs that may be a bit territorial but we can keep them away. Give me a call and we can talk. We will take you any way that we can get you!!
