Hi everyone,
I like you all, have a journey. I have this picture of my Nonno. He came from Malito, Cosenza. Vicenzo Fabiano married my Nonna Carmela Santoro. My grandmother was an only child and carried he fathers last name. Her father left Malito when she was a young child. Leaving my great grandmother a single parent. My great grandmother was a Borrelli and that's where it ends. Nuccia and I had a great conversation today. Turns out Nuccia and I through blood line are related. This is what makes this all amazing, a small thought of searching a name, and now the journey begins.
Thanks for listening,
Susanna

See Susanna,

I knew you would see the SIA Beverages bottles. The slogan was..In casa mia beviamo Sia. My poor uncle..may he rest in peace! I should show my great aunt this picture. Have you more family pictures? I want to see pictures of your dad..did he look like his brother?

I made the rice balls. When i saw them on the site my mouth started salivating, and I just had to make them. Ok got that out of way. As for pics of certain people, well, we just have to keep some private.

Thanks for the dancing bananas, I love a good party. I can spend hours analyzing old photos, mine or not. I think life was simple back then. Although they didn't know it... Thanks for the warm welcome.
