Where the heck is everyone !!!!

Thank you ladies, I am picture crazy.... Have been all my life sometimes they'll tease me about it, but they all ask "Will you send them to me?"
I am glad I woke up and decided to appreciate family for what it is and the frailty of it all when I did, because I missed a lot in my later teenage years lost in my own world. My family is a lot of fun, for the most part a bunch of goofs and now I am able to really enjoy the older nephews as nieces as it should be, instead of babies I am constantly volunteered as babysitting for as I transitioned to teenager

I really miss the rest of my immediate family, hopefully Brad and I will be included in the trip back up to take the older three home
Been almost a year since I showed my face in my home town

Marilyn, boy you are spot on! Essex is exactly where we are LOL You made my mouth drop as I read that...
My fiance was born and raised here. I had never seen alleys like this until I moved here, very different from alleys where I am from!

Judy, you are braver than I am honey, I won't get in water I can't see the bottom of
I can't stand the sensation of things brushing up against me, seaweed in my fingers or between my toes, BLEH

You cannot see anything in Brooklyn ocean water, and I doubt if anything living would survive there to brush up against me. But, I grew up in it, and I'm still alive.

I know what you mean though. I cannot stand being in a lake with all that slimy stuff on the bottom, and - no thanks, I do not want to swim with fish.

I love the pix. The kids are great and you are beautiful.
