"Pop Pop made the NET"

This thing is a bowling-related quotation:

"Drinking and bowling, now -- No, that don't match. You see twenty pins, you knock half down, you got a strike going!"-

Mike Cianciaruso, quoted in The Duplex Planet. Mr. Cianciaruso is a senior citizen

"Happy Birthday Grandpa"

March 22nd would have been my grandfather Dominic's 115 Birthday.

Um, now my 70 does not sound too old.....As the picture shows, he was a very gentle, talented unassuming quiet man. I remember him playing the mandolin and singing Italian songs...I still remember the songs and most of the words to this day.

Happy Birthday Grandpa

"Happy Birthday Dad"

March 8th would have been Pop Pop's 94 Birthday

as you can see he joined the Navy

at a very young age, he heard the food was good and when he saw the canon balls on deck he thought there was a bowling alley on board.

"Happy 94th Dad"

"Be an Angel Michael"

This morning Susan said to Michael, Please be an Angel and shovel the driveway, so I can get to work...and being the great guy that he is, he did it...Susan did get out and did get to work and Michael stayed home to thaw out. Spoke to Michael, and they had 14 inches with more to come....

Stay warm and dry guys...to be fair it was on 4o degrees here this morning but will reach the 60's today.

"Four Generations of Cianciaruso's"

Looking at this picture gave me the incentive to create this Blog.

My father always bragged that he was able to see 4 male generations of his family.

Based on his pride I decided to tell 4 generations of stories. So Michael, Ron, kids and Dad....."This Blog's for you".
