God Bless All of You

I just wanted to stop a minute and tell all of you how much it has meant to me ... over the past year and a half ... that all of you have been there for me, my family and Gordo ... when I am quite sure you had other things to say and do.
You really do get to know who your "real" friends are ... during times like these.
I am so lucky to have ALL of you in my life.
God bless each of you ... really.
Love, Cora

Basketball Gods

Dear Basketball Gods,
If I could put in a special request ... please help the Celtics win tonight's game.
It would make Gordo so happy to watch them play in the finals. But after that ... Boston is on their own.
Thanks,
Pooker Annie

The Simple Things

I was looking back at what Gordo and I were doing a year ago.
Dad had just dodged the possibly fatal "sepsis" bullet and was still in the hospital.
Today he is doing great ... overall ... his favorite team is doing amazingly well in the playoffs and I just gave him an ice cream cone after breakfast ... per his request.
Sometimes it's just the simple things in life that make us the happiest.
Have a fabulous day my friends.

Who Loves Ya?

Paul Pierce. Who loves ya baby?
Gordo does !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you can't stand the "Heat" ... get out of Boston's Kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO CELTICS!

HOLY SHIITAKE!

Oh how I wish I spoke Japenese ... so I could hear what the staff at Benihana's was saying as our clan showed up yesterday for Amber's 30th birthday lunch.
A one year old running ahead of everyone ... followed by a 2 year old running behind him and three squealing little girls ... while the parents are running behind them ... Mikey, Sarah, Stephanie and I are lugging a plethora of gifts ... and pulling up in the rear ... Liz ... and Gordo (with his HUGO walker) moving at a snail's pace.
All I could think of was ... HOLY SHIITAKE!
