Luee
We adopted Luee from the Humane Society in 1996. He was 2 years old, but still a pup. He has slowed down a bit; his age is catching up to him. He is the best dog anyone could ever have. Luee had to be put to sleep on April 15, 2009. Rest in Peace Pup.

EASTER WEEK BEGINS


Good Morning Speakies:

Well it is our favorite day of the week, MONDAY. I know some of you are off this week. Here in Florida it is Spring Break for a lot the kids and I’m sure they are pretty happy to be off this week. I hope you all had a nice weekend, so let’s start off with the holidays we celebrate today:

Knights of Columbus Founders Day – Of which I am a member in good standing.

National Mom and Pop Business Owner’s Day – Let’s give them a salute for hanging in there in these hard times. We had a lot of those stores in my neighborhood growing up and it was a sorry sight to see them go. I remember the deli’s, candy stores, mom and pop groceries, meat markets, shoe makers, five and dime stores and even small department stores all family run. Most of all I can’t forget the family owned Tomato Pie places.

Passover – Holiday for our Jewish Speakies begins at sundown.

Texas Loves The Children Day – I’m sure they do.

Being it is Easter Week, do you remember your Easters as a kid. This week I want you to make comments on this post of your Easter memories, so think hard and send them to me. If you can read you can post.

Being Polish, Easter was a big thing in our family. My Grandmother and Mother had to start cleaning 2 weeks before the holiday. Being an altar boy I had to attend the Easter preparation services on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, blessing of the Easter food on Saturday and then Sunrise Services on Easter Sunday. The food, the food Polish ham, kielbasa, colored hard boiled eggs, homemade bread, potato salad and coleslaw. The list could go on and on and I can still taste them all. I also remember having to be dressed up all day, new sport coat with the works. I recall going shopping with Mom and Dad to a store called Robert Hall’s a clothier for the entire family, what an experience, I hated it but what could a little tyke do. So there you go some of my memories, let me hear yours. Have a great day Guys and Dolls.

olish Ham rocks!!
My Slovak Grandma would scramble
a bunch of eggs and cook them in
a pot and then strain off any liquid and we would eat slices of
that. It was Slovak but now I forget what it was called...I
see Mary Theresa waving her finger
at me from the sky saying "oh no
Mike you didnt forget its name"
LMAO:)))

Mack we can always call it Ham and Eggs. My grandmother use to buy butter just for Easter in the shape of a lamb. She also made a homemade cheese, soft which was wrapped in cheese cloth for weeks before Easter, I can't remember the name. Good eats in those days of Grandma's.
