Forwarding from Jeanine Erricolo White!

Dear Forever Friends, 

I want to Thank all my classmates for sending me my birthday wishes. 

It was wonderful to open my mailbox and see so many e mail from classmates that I haven't seen or spoke to since high school yet took the time to send me a Happy Birthday wish.  

You are the greatest thank you all for your thoughtfulness.

Forwarding for Arthur Buonopane!

Rose:

Here's one you have to post on the Lantern. It should bring a tear or two to our classmates eyes.

Arthur

It's amazing how an act of compassion can come back to us. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/embed/WxjZB5S_g7s?rel=0

HI ROSE,

I HAD MY SURGERY THIS MORNING AND THE TUMOR WAS BENIGN.  IT WAS LARGER THEN THE LAST ONE AND SO I AM HURTING A LITTLE MORE THEN THE LAST TIME.

I FEEL LIKE I HAD BOTOX DONE TO MY LIPS. THEY ARE SWOLLEN AND CUT. MY NOSE KEEPS RUNNING AND IT IS SO SORE.

THEY GAVE ME LIQUID TO TAKE TO NUMB MY THROAT SO THAT I CAN SWALLOW FOOD WITHOUT A LOT OF PAIN. IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE STREP THROAT.

I WILL RELAX THIS WEEKEND SO THAT I CAN GET BACK TO WORK ON MONDAY. I JUST WON'T BE ABLE TO YELL AT THE KIDS IN THE HALLS OF RHS. THEY ALL KNOW I WILL BE HURTING. I TAPED MY VOICE SO
I CAN PLAY IT WHEN I SEE THEM. I THINK THEY WILL GET A KICK OF IT.

THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS FOR THEIR PRAYERS. I KNOW THAT GOD IS WATCHING OVER ME AND SO I NEVER WORRY ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE.

Happy Hanukkah to all of our Jewish Friends!

 

 

 

For the first time since 1888, the first day of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving will overlap. Experts say that might not happen again until 2070!

 

 

 

Hugggggggggggggggggggggggs, Rose

Thanksgiving Feasting

Thanksgiving Feasting

When the Halloween pumpkins are gone,
And the leaves have all fallen to ground,
When the air has turned windy and cold,
Then Thanksgiving will soon be around.

Thoughts of loved ones all feasting together,
Pleasant pictures from past times appear
To dwell in each heart and each mind--
Then Thanksgiving is finally here!

The kitchen has scrumptious aromas,
The dining room looks oh, so fine,
Decorations with pilgrims and turkeys,
And now we are ready to dine!

First the napkins are placed on our laps;
Now the prayer for the meal to be blessed,
Then we stuff the good food in our tummies,
And we hope for it all to digest!

Delivering Great Shares from Elliot Feldman!

 



Rose,

 

Many thanks:

I can’t believe in the next year we are all going to turn “70” !!!! 

I hope you and your family have a healthy and happy holiday season.

You have been great keeping everyone in touch with one another......Many Many Thanks

Warmest regards, Elliot

 

Great Shares from Me!



I received an email from Paula Taylor and it is so worthy of sharing with all of you that adore her as much as I do.

HI ROSIE,

I HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY WITH WORKING 10 HOURS A DAY AT RHS.  I HAVE BEEN HEMMING PANTS FOR THE ROTC TEAM AT RHS. THEY HAVE NEW UNIFORMS AND MOST OF THE PANTS ARE TOO LONG FOR THE KIDS.

I AM ALSO TEACHING THE FASHION CLUB HOW TO CROCHET. THEY WANT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE THINGS THAT THEY CAN SELL TO HELP PAY FOR SEWING MACHINES ETC FOR THE CLUB.

I AM ALSO CROCHETING AND SELLING THE SASHAY RUFFLE SCARFS.  I MADE ONE AT SCHOOL AND EVERYONE ASKED ME TO MAKE ONE OR  MORE FOR THEM.

I AM STILL HAVING DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING. I AM NOT EATING MEAT BECAUSE CAUSES ME TO CHOKE. I AM EATING SOFT FOODS AND FOODS THAT I CAN PUT A SAUCE OR GRAVY ON.

I GO TO MGH NEXT WEDNESDAY FOR MY PRE OP BLOODWORK AND CHECK-UP AND THEN THEY WILL SCHEDULE ME FOR SURGERY TO REMOVE AND BIOPSY THE LUMP IN MY NECK.

I AM NOT WORRIED BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD TO HAVE A LUMP REMOVED IN MY NECK. I AM SURE I WILL BE FINE. YOU SEE GOD DOESN'T WANT ME RIGHT NOW AND THE DEVIL IS AFRAID OF ME, SO I WILL BE HERE FOR AWHILE.

 

PAULA
