Hey how the heck did you get my sneaker?????

Wow!! An assembly!!
However NY is not behind the angle... even if my usual dream is that to visit the United States... it would be very beautiful but I believe that for me is not possible to take a trip so, I regret it.
If you decide to do him/it in Italy I will do all the possible to know all of you.

Maybe we could make this an annual event........a Genealogy conference in New York, the following year in Italy, Scotland, England......we'll go all over!!!!!!!
Now if I can just win the lottery......

Alessandra!! You found us! I am so happy to see you back here.

Maybe 2009 we all meet in Napoli!

Yes, Nuccia, we are serious.....so let's talk about some details. I will for certain be there, even if I have to rob a bank. No, seriously, I will start saving for now.

Mike, you and I will be searching for relatives while the ladies are dancing. Your mom would kill me...so we will stay home. I am too old and fat for bodily gyrating the night away!

One other concern I have is this..... Riccardo will need to spend alot of money to fly over here to see us and even more for whatever we do during his visit. Is there anyway one of us could put him up? I have offered my home, but I think he nearly choked when he heard it costs $300 to fly from Houston to New York. So.......??

Gina! With the fat stuff, leave it alone you are beautiful! And not old at all, just get ready to have fun. I would offer Riccardo my house, but my parents wouldn't be to happy. Maybe if we can book his hotel early he can get a cheap rate?

Mike..I agree. Gina, leave it alone.

Mike, you're too young to even think of offering your parents house to anyone. Riccardo would be upset that you even considered that.

Now I live in Canada and thats 12 hours away..we will have to work something out. Lets worry about those types of details later. He and Simy need to first figure out travel fare and other things. Not sure if Riccardo will be visiting other places in the US once he arrives ..

Once they have a tentative idea, we can look around. Don't worry..we won't let Simy or Riccardo get stranded. Well figure something out thats suitable for everyone.

Ok, now, I'm just joking. I am one that has always been comfortable with who I am. That's why I can joke about it. But no offense meant here.

As for Riccardo and Simy....is Simy coming too?? It would be so great to finally meet her. I know we can work it out later. I only mentioned it because it wouldn't be the same without them. And it would be great to know that they could book their ticket with confidence not having to pay for a hotel. But as you said, we can get to the details after we know if we are definitely doing this and when.

My regret is that I won't get to meet Carole. Carole, I am really sad about that. I was hoping to join you for a spot of tea. But you have my word that when I get to Italy in the next few years that I will take a trip to meet you for that tea, no matter how far the journey may be.

Gina, Voluptuous is a better way of putting it. Voluptuous is what every woman should be. Voluptuous women:
Botticelli was famous for his favored voluptuous women


Anyone who thinks skinny Nicole Richie looks good should seek psychiatric help!
Now, no more putting yourself down Gina. You are a beautiful woman inside and out!

yes ma'am....

You go girl !!

Gina, I know how you feel. But the most important thing is the person you are inside that counts.

Trust me.

You said it JIm!

Ok ya'll......please don't beat me up anymore. I won't mention the word fat again. I was just being myself, just joking around. When you all meet me in New York next year, you will realize that I have NO self esteem problem, and I swear I am not down on myself. No reason to be..... I know exactly how I got to be fat (OOPS excuse me - voluptuous!) I have certainly ENJOYED every morsel of pasta that has crossed my lips!!! <dancing bananas here>
