Hello Mother!!!!

It´s dad´s birthday today so Happy Birthday Dad!! Hope you have fun in the great beyond celebrating.

So update...been here in Murrells Inlet for 6 months. It´s different. I´m still adjusting. Very hot from May when we got here through September. It´s getting tolerable now, even a little chilly morning and evenings. Still a little homesick. I definitely miss my people...boy, Kristi, Jody, all the Delphas, Kev and The Hazy´s. So far Kristi & Kev and June & Steve visited. Hopefully others will be able to visit soon. If you were still here, you would be here bugging me hahaha I wish you were :(
I´m hoping Kristi & Jody move this way SOON. haha Kevin wants to.
Dana moved to North Carolina, I think about 2.5 hours away so hopefully we can meet up eventually. At least I have family somewhat nearby.
Pooky and Penny are finally adjusted to the new house. They love the enclosed porch. The 16 hour car ride down here with them is something we will never do again ugh!
Timmy just got a job at a golf club down here. It includes free golf at a bunch of courses so that´s good, especially with all the golfing he does. Hopefully he´ll get to transfer at some point to the course right up the street. That´s his goal.

Other big news..Lil Donny and Danielle just got engaged. Yaaay!
So exciting!!! Don´t have any news on their plans.

Boy and his girlfriend are busy running 5K´s. She just ran the Chicago marathon. They are doing great. Don´t know when they will ever visit

Sad news...Cyndi´s mom, Dotty, passed away a few months ago and Donna Dalton passed away last weekend. Too young. Very sad.

That´s all the updates for now.

It´s gonna be Halloween so boooooooo!
Happy Halloween!

Love you miss you

Hi Maaaaa!
Wow! 10 years. Crazy how time flies yet it feels like yesterday at the same time. So much has happened in 10 years. So many other losses, wedding, divorce, moving. It´s just so odd you´ve been gone this long. We miss you and dad.
Some updates for you. Not sure I wrote you when Aunt Jean passed. I think I wrote you when Meg passed away. Uncle Joe just passed away. I just found out Janet´s husband Paul passed away. I saw Janna Banana at Kara Dara´s 50th birthday party and found out Linda Varano passed away. Marcia´s boyfriend also passed away. I know I´m probably forgetting others.

On to happier news...boy is doing very well. Very happy. He celebrated his birthday in Norway with his GF. She´s really cute. Ironically, she´s a dialysis nurse. Since he´s doing so well I don´t feel so guilty leaving Pinehills. That´s right!!! We are leaving mother!!! The place we always wanted to live since they started building it and heading south...eeek!!! We are moving to Murrell´s Inlet, SC. You would be so excited for us. Probably be coming with us, haha! Timmy is retiring but will try to find part time work related to golf. So we are leaving at the end of the month. I don´t think Pooky and Penny will enjoy the 16 hour ride...but I think they will love their new home. So that´s our news!!
The Delphas are back in Mass. Lil Don Don and his GF bought a house in CT. Dana will probably will be moving to NC with Dr Kev cuz that´s where he will be stationed. Kristi & Kev just came back from SC and GA. Tell dad they went to watch a practice round at the Masters.
They are doing very well.

So we have stressful days with moving but exciting times after. Kristi will come and stay for about a month in the winter. Haha!!!
Tell dad, Nana Kathy & Pop our news & we love & miss them.

Love you & miss you

Hello Mother!!
Nine years...unreal! Where does the time go. We all miss you & dad so much. We didn´t celebrate dad´s anniversary or your birthday together this year. Some of us are going to Scalas´s tomorrow in honor of you both, Kathy´s anniversaryand mah buuurfffday!!!! Me & Timmy took boy out for his 35th birthday...35!!! Can you believe it????? Crazy!! His house is for sale. It should sell quickly and he will be living about 10 minutes away when he moves.
The Delphas are moving to New Hampshire this month.
We got a new kitty. Looks just like somebody black & white :) Pooky seemed pretty depressed without Pebbles so I thought she could used a friend..ha ha! She is finally getting used to her but don´t think she likes her...hahahaha!!! Ooops! She´s a sweetheart yet she fights viciously like he did. You would need to wear your glove. It doesn´t hurt as much cuz she´s tiny compared to him. You would love her.
The Geraghty´s did over their kitchen. It looks awesome.
I hope you are taking care of all the grandkitties and my Zo-Zo :(

Give dad, Nana Kathy & Pop
a hug from us. We miss & love you all.

P.S. Give Somebody Black & White a kiss on his nosy posy, rub his big fat belly & pull on his tail for me.

Just Pooky under the Christmas tree this year. Hope you are taking care of Pebbles :( We miss her terribly. She was the quiet kittyhahaha
Poor brown dog isn’t doing well. She will be with you at some point too. At least boy knows you will take good care of her when she gets there :( So devastated for him and us. All the grand-animals must have been happy to see you when they got there.
I hope Pop & Nana Kathy are together again. Thankfully he is no longer suffering. Hi Nana, Hi Pop!!!!

I had cervical spine surgery. Still healing. Hopefully I get normal feeling back.

Hi Mother!!!

7 years today. Still doesn’t seem real :(

The past year has been unreal too. Still in pandemic mode down here. Wearing masks, staying six feet away from people, certain businesses can’t open. Over the past year we lost Stacey, Tracey and Marcia :( On Timmy’s side, a cousin who was boy’s age passed away. Richie’s friend Michael Ricci also passed away. It’s really been a crazy , sad year.

Ding & Dong are still kickin. They will be 11 this year. Zoe and Chino are awesome. Zoe is becoming an old lady...turning 8 in May..haha!

Let dad know we are all doing well. Boy & Jackie are good. Kristi, Kev, Jody & Donny are all good. Dana is moving to Maryland with her Dr boyfriend, Kevin. Lil Don-Don is living with his girlfriend Danielle. Hopefully we will have weddings in our future. Me & man are good. Love our move to Pinehills. Tell Nanny all the Hazelnuts are doing good. Can’t believe it’s been 2 years already :(

We miss & love you all!!
Love the middle one!

Give Somebody Black & White extra hugs, kisses to his nosy pose, belly rubs & pulls on his tail for me today cuz it's his birthday. That very bad boy(haha) would be 16 today. I miss his fat butt!! lol!!

You wouldn't believe the craziness down here. It's somewhat of a relief that I don't have sick parents that I wouldn't be able to see during this pandemic. :( Hopefully this nightmare ends soon.

Hope you & dad welcomed Stacey with big hugs :(
So very sad for her son and the rest of her family.

Miss you so much. Give dad and Kathy hugs and kisses for us. It will be Kathy's first year anniversary this week and we won't be able to honor her together as a family because of this pandemic. We will when this is over!!

Hello Mother!!!

Happy Birthday!! The world is ending down here! HA! Coronavirus pandemic. Everything shutting down, work from home if you can, no sports, no school, disney closed, no concerts, people being quarantined. It's crazy I say. Boy is high risk cuz of his asthma so he better start working from home or I am gonna freak!! haha that could be worse for him!!! He just turned 32! Imagine that. So, we are selling this courtyard townhouse...not that anyone will probably buy it now cuz the stock market is tanking cuz of the pandemic, but this development still has no amenities so think we will finally make the move to Pinehills if this sells. That's where we always wanted to be but just thought Plymouth was too far from everyone but now it's not so we'll see. Hope dad is doing well up there. Nana Kathy too. It's been a really weird year. It's been a really weird, depressing decade losing all of you. Gonna celebrate your birthday this weekend if restaurants are allowed to stay open...ugh!!! I'll have extra bread and booze for you! haha!
Give dad and Kathy hugs and a kiss from us! xoxo

Hi Mother!!

Happy Birthday!!!
Just got home from having dinner at La Scalas in honor of your birthday. It was delish!!!! Wish you & dad were here and we could all have gone together :(

So what's new here...we moved. Don't know if I told you that. Might have told dad. We sold our townhouse and moved to a courtyard townhouse right behind the one we lived in. Crazy I know! lol!!! You toured the model courtyard townhouse with us back in 2012. It's way better than the tri-level with my aching feet and all those stairs. Can't wait for nice weather to sit in the courtyard and have privacy. Boy just turned 31. Yikes!!! He just re-sided his house. I wish he would get a pool. hahaha

Some things still crappy down here. Wish you and dad could help in some way. It's just not fair that it's hapenning one after the other. Why can't our family be left alone for a while. Like a long long time. Please!?!?!

We miss you and love you & dad

Hello mother!!!
Three years :( Still in disbelief that you are not here.
In four days, you won't be calling me, I won't, of course, be purposely ignoring it haha!!! and you won't be singing Happy Birthday into my machine
and I won't play it for Timmy and he won't call you ba-nanas!!! So many times we've laughed at you or because of you....we still do too!!! Thanks for all the laughs...especially the belly ones...love those!!!
Thanks for whatever help you had on the HERHAZ side. NK's surgery went great and she will have just to be safe follow up treatment which was her decision to make. Thank God the stars aligned and our prayers were answered.
Now can you do it all again for you know who?? He comes home at the end of the month and his tests are on May 9th. Fingers and toes crossed for him mother!!!!
On a lighter note...boy and Jackie set a date!!!! June 9, 2018. Getting married down the Cape. She is getting the beach wedding that she wanted locally. I know you would LOVE a beach wedding. You will be there, don't worry!!!
Give somebody black and white a kiss on his nosy posy, pull on his tail and rub his big fat belly for me!!!! He would have been 13 on April Fool's Day!

Hello again mother!!!
Clearly you got my message about showing signs down in FLA. I think they were seen so thank you for showing whatever signs they were. Still have to wait but at least there was an effort made. Thanks Ma!!

Now on the HerHaz side, need major prayers and help from the powers that be mother! This was like a sucker punch from the sky! Surgery is Monday. I don't know mother, please let this be nothing as serious as everyone knows it probably really is. I am being positive. Thinking very positive thoughts in this case. Not my negative nelly self like I was with you and FLA. Shocking, I know! HA!!!!

Hello mother!!
Happy Day after your birthday!!!
So went to Lascalas last night with Jody, Kristi and Dana-face to celebrate your birthday!!! Also, a surprise guest came to celebrate your birthday. Someone we haven't seen or talked to in months, except for Kristi. It was so great to see miss "D". Tell Colombe her "fave" daughter looks great and that she is doing okay. Hopefully she will hang out with all of us again soon so we can help her while she continues to grieve...we all make each other laugh so I hope we get together soon.
To be continued.....

Pebbles hanging with you on eve of your bday!

Well Hello Mother!!!!

Merry Christmas! Glad to know you are still around and listening to me.
I'm hope you and Colombe are watching over "D". We will of course be here for her down here so Colombe doesn't have to worry but she will.
I would also like you to show some signs down in FLA. Jog some memories down there. Maybe that will shake and wake someone up for me :) lol
Doubtful you people are stubborn : ,

We have a new family member!! I will post his picture. He is so sweet! You would love him and he would love you. Brown dog is not quite happy :(
Yet! But she's getting better!

Hello Mother! Good & You
Happy Birthday! Last night was exciting. We went out to dinner for boys birthday(28 years old-can you believe that?) Anyhoo, he started to tell me that they (him & Jackie) were...and I thought he was gonna say getting another dog and I was going to lose my mind but then he put Jackie's hand in front of me and I was confused cuz I still had second dog in my mind and Dana who was sitting on the other side of me yells oh my god a ring!!! An engagement ring!!!! I was stunned. Big Timmy was stunned. Kristi was bummed cuz she was home very ill and missed it. We weren't sure he was ever gonna propose to her. Even Jackie was surprised. They bought a house and have been together for 9 years so it makes sense. We won't hound them about grandchildren. He considers Zoe to be my grandaughter. I refuse to be called Nana for a dog. She is my grand-dog and I am her Cranky so that makes you her Great Cranky(hahaha)!!!! So we are very very happy that they will get married. When? not sure. They want a small destination wedding so they need to start saving for that and then choosing all those exciting things like the dress, bridesmaids...all the things girls dream about! Soooo exciting!

Brown dog is adorable...I went to visit her 2 weeks ago. She loves a donut and LOVES when Cranky puts cream cheese on it!! Boy always looks at me like "really" yeah...it's a just treat that I give her. She doesn't get it often.

The cats are spoiled. They have taken over the house since boy and Jackie and brown dog moved out! Pooky actually became more whiny. The vet put her on what I refer to as "ZAC". I'm sure you can figure it out. It has helped her OCD and anxiety so she doesn't keep us up all night. YAY!
Timmy is very good! He was offered a position in management so he is now in an office instead of the split shifts. I know that you would be happy for him!!!
Dad's good. He's in FLA til the end of March. He has a lot of follow up he has to keep on top of which he will and we will make sure he does.
Now we have to keep very positive thoughts for the Hazy/Hersey side of the family. You know one very important person's history and he has to go thru that major procedure like before. I'm sure you remember that. Let up there know we are not done with him down here!!!! Yeah, like it works that way!
We went on Powers family vacation last year...even dad! We are doing it again this year so we will be visiting you at sea while we are there. We do bring you with us. The heart filled with your ashes.
I'll write again later! We love you and miss you! Happy Birthday! Love Coby & Timmy ❤

So excited! I know there's a donut in Cranky's pocketbook!!!!
