The Program

This above picture of me  was taken in June of 1960 for my High School Year Book.  The Program was for My Graduation Eve From Alexander Hamilton High School in Elmsford, New York.  This program was found in my Fathers Box neatly folded and tucked away.  That was also the Evening I met my Husband Raymond for the 1st time.  A very Monumental Evening for me.

I have been doing a lot of blogging recently and want to start a flickr group for us to share our pictures.  I will let you all know how to do this (as soon a I find out) - My Children & Grand Children on Flickr.  I just love the above picture of my dad in the back yard standing by his rose bush at 19 Wawayand Ave. in Middletown NY.  Dad loved to garden and the kids loved being out side with him.

Hi all - Calling for Updates and Pictures for our Family Pages

Hi all, This is Grandma Diane - Since I turned 70 just a few months ago I have been thinking of all my blessings.  all my Children, their Children and their Children's Children.  Wow that was a mouthful.  In other words my kids, grandkids and great grandkids.  This family is growing so fast.  In Dec of 2011 2 great grand children were born, little Sophie and James, then in 2012 Rose & Ethan, were added with another baby due in 2013 I thought we really need to get everyone in on the action.  I love all my grandkids and Great Grandkids.  why they keep me company at night as I drift off to sleep.  the smile's each one so endearing yet to individual, I can see their smiles right now, Sara, Johnny, Brianna and Breanna, as little babies, Caroline picking out her wedding Dress,  little Rose and Ethan just to name a few.  I love the smiles and the poses, Echo just turned 5, Ruthie was over her Grandma's Debs and played dress up with lipstick.  Nathan with his shy smile and mischevious mind, (makes me smile to think of it) little George who loves cars, Mason and little William, Allexy's who just loves my colored pens, and my older Grand kids, Nicky who wanted to give me a hug the other day but I was sick so I couldn't - Heather with her sweet ways and Zuri who loves to hang out with me.... Alan & Tommy, Johnny who is a new Dad and is enjoying that role, (reminds me of Micheal when little Alan was Born) - that look of love in their eyes and smile...Ah Fatherhood.   Christopher who is reserved it is hard to think of them as Grown, I still see each one as a child showering me with love,  Julie and Sarah who are sweet and Philip who is a great poet. Susan who has 4 children of her own now - Breanna, Little Natholie, Mason and of course Nathan.  Brianna who is now a mom and is in love with her new role as mother.  (little Rose is so sweet.) Caroline all grown up with her son William.,Wow I am amazed at them...  I am so glad for the internet too.  I get to see my grandkids in New York and their Children and watch them grow, Brian who is so grown up, little Emily who has her mother's eyes and smile.  so reminiscent of when her mom Jessica was a child, Justina who loves to craft and seems bursing with energy and ideas...(reminds me of me as a young woman).  Beth who is so brave and so sweet.  I enjoy their pictures as they post them on facebook.  WOw.  I am so blessed that my heart is singing right now..... Oh my enough for now... I will try to update this page more often with pictures and my thoughts... Love you all.
