Summer Memories--Part Deux
Several days after MandM's anniversary gathering, Buddy's sister, Lynda, and their Mom came to town to celebrate his birthday.
We picked them up at Newark Airport and swept them away to Parsippany.
Family and friends gathered to celebrate the wonderfulness of our Buddy. These are Buddy's best friends, Joe and Janet Ciccone.
And this is Nicole McManus, Joe and Janet's daughter, with her husband, Jeff, and their son, Louie. Nicole is Buddy's goddaughter, and her birthday is the day after his.
The next day, we raced to Philly (to beat Hurricane Irene) so Mom Riz could meet her great granddaughter. Here she is with Danielle, her dad Justin, and his dad Buddy. (Mommy Desi was not home when we took this photograph.)
The entire Rizzio family has a great sense of humor, and here, Lynda and Danielle share a laugh. They had just met!
Don't expect Mush and Slush to be in Cali this Christmas. We plan to be in Philly with the Baba.
