Our Chico Home


Today September 8th is the day we moved in to our Chico home 4 year ago. A lot has happen in 4 years. Senessa and Natalie got married and out of that we got 2 great son-in-laws and a 8 1/2 month old grand daughter. We have had friends and family in our home and had some great parties. Deborah and I love to have parties and our home is perfect for that especially our back yard. We thank you for the ones who has been in our home for the memories that we will always have.

AUGUST WENT BY FAST

On the 16th of August we went down to Frank's and Kelley's house to celebrate Pops and Grandma's 50th Anniversary (Kelley's mom and dad). The party was at Frank and Kelley's house. Eight friends' came out from the Bay Area to be there to celebrate there 50th. Grandma was so surprise she could not stop crying.

It was a hard one for me because of my parents miss there's by one year. My Dad was really looking forward to it. Of course my Dad died the year before there 50th. I can imagine what the party would be like. A lot of great food, great music, probably having Nick's Italian band playing and having great old friend's and family there. I can see my Mom and Dad on the dance floor dancing the jitter bug and my parents can dance. We would have some family members sharing there memories of my parents. It would have been a great party.

I miss my Dad dearly. You needed to love him as he was. If he liked you he would give the shirt off his back and if he didn't like you beware. My Dad had a hard childhood and he came along way. He loved his family especially my Mother. Love you Dad.



LABOR DAY WEEKEND-FUN, FUN , FUN. We had Frank, Kelley, Chipper, Freddy, Pops and Grandma come up Friday night to start the festivities for a great weekend. Saturday night my Mom and my sister Cindy came and we had the club house at Jacob and Senessa's apartment. For the night we BBQ, swim, played cards and ping pong to 10:30.

We had sleeping arrangements setup for everybody so there was somebody sleeping at the Lemmo's, Tiffany's and Miller's.

Sunday we had a BBQ with family and friends and Stevilynn and Brian surprise us by showing up. I used John's our next door neighbors chicken barrel and cooked 12 half chickens. It was really GOOD. We had a lot of food and enjoyed everybody's company.

My Mom was going to spend the week with us and she thought Cindy was pawning her off to us. She got little upset that she was staying so she went home with Cindy on Monday. After she got home and read a note Cindy gave to her last week about coming to stay with us because I ask if she can, she felt bad about not staying. My Mother forgets things vary easily. My Mother likes to stay in her comfort zone and that is with Cindy. Cindy needs a brake and she does a lot for my Mother and I appreciate all she does for my Mother.

Frank and Kelley and there gang left about 1:30 Monday. And the Chico family had leftovers for dinner Monday night. It was a GREAT WEEKEND.
