Is Blogging a word? Regardless, this is my first official Blog posting. I am just going with the flow because I am not really sure what this Blogging is all about... Bare with me...
Saw a few fellow Rossi's last weekend as we had a surprise 70th birthday party for my mom, Lorraine. It was horrific weather and the venue was located on the water. I had imagined a gorgeous Fall day with the sun shining in through the windows instead we got rain and lots of it. So much that the windows were leaking! The winds were hurricane like and the monsoon was coming down hard.
But indoors all was warm and cozy and Mom was totally shocked and surprised! That is all you can ask for at a surprise party. The look on her face was priceless as we all yelled out Surprise when she walked in from the storm. I think it took her about 15 seconds before she even comprehended what was transpiring. We got her good!
It was hard for me not to think of Nana Grace and how she would have enjoyed herself. Sitting at the table, being her usual quiet self, but enjoying the fact that her family was all around her. She was there in spirit as well as pictures....as I passed out some copies of her wedding photo that I had recently made.
All in all, a great day.
Alas, that is all I can post now. Jack, my 2.5 year old son, is snoozing after a long day at the zoo. Any of you moms can relate that nap time is a cherished time so no more blogging for me...got to use my time to make a few calls without a screaming toddler in the background.
Thanks for reading.
Hope you are all well and taking care.
Love,
Susan

Hi Susan -
sounds like even the weather couldn't ruin a great day.
Hello all Rossis, et al.,
Thinking about all of us lately - hope everyone is feeling healthy and looking forward to good things. Halloween is here and you know you can't help but remember the pillow cases full of trick-or-treat candy we used to get as kids. We'd leave the house at dusk, come in once or twice to unload and head back out for more!! Tobi used to come with us when we were little, but I think by 4th grade or so we were on our own. I bet Leigh kept an eye out!!
Hope we all have the energy of the kids this Halloween!! And Happy B-day to cousin Denis!! Love to all - jill p
