the tree, I saw it -- the blue tea set with the white florets around the trim
that was on my list for Santa! It was just a plastic replica of English-style
Waterford china, but I loved it as if it were real.Knowing how much Daddy loved
coffee, I wanted the set so I could have coffee with him. I always wanted to be
near my dad, Gerard Fischetti, he was a handsome gentleman who sang to me and protect
me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>

hand, I dashed to the kitchen. I could smell Savarin-brand coffee brewing. It
was the only kind my dad drank. When we grew up in the 1960s, my sisters and I
called our dad the "El Exigente," the demanding character in
Savarin's TV commercials.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>

but I broke the family rule and reached for the coffeepot.I carefully poured
the coffee, and added a bit of milk and sugar the way Daddy liked it. Then I
poured myself a drop of coffee (I was too young to drink coffee) and added a
lot of milk, so Daddy and I could have a "tea party." (Dad didn't
drink tea.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">After their mother died 10 years ago, twin sisters Laura Bowman and Susan Davniero couldn't help but feel empty on that one day of the year where mothers and daughters are supposed to be inseparable. They tried going out to restaurants with extended family, but it wasn't the same as visiting their mother and presenting her with a specially made heart-shaped cake.</span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Then, four years ago, after helping serve Thanksgiving dinner at a soup kitchen, they got the idea of delivering Mother's Day gifts to those in need.” Just because your mother passed away doesn't mean the holiday is over," Bowman, of Babylon, said yesterday before she and her sister headed off to several Long Island women's shelters and a rehabilitation center to give away homemade pumpkin and cherry pies, and colorful gift bags filled with things like address books, perfumes, ceramics and dressy clothing.</span></b></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Mother's Day back then was always marked by a special dinner at mom's house. And so it was with a heavy heart that they saw her final days battling cancer. Their father had passed away years before, and the idea of spending Mother's and Father's Day alone seemed bleak.</span></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">"We said, 'How are we going to celebrate holidays with our parents gone?'" Bowman recalled. But without the family obligation, more time opened up to volunteer with others. From serving a meal at Thanksgiving to delivering gifts for mothers, they began doing volunteer work every holiday of the year - even spending time with veterans on Memorial Day. For Mother's Day, they gathered donated gift items and called Catholic Charities for places to drop by.</span></b></div>

It's simply a matter of finding that one thing that will inspire you, she said. </b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">"This is so much fun," she said of their volunteering.

I scattered records all over the floor by the record player plywood box. It seems my life thru the ages is always spinning around like a record disc. I remember how it all started with the first single record Dad brought home to his three pre-teen daughters which was that summer hit novelty song of 1960 "She Wore an Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.”</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></b></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial narrow"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: darkred;">I remember my rock n
roll days listening to discs spinning on record players. I scattered records all
over the floor by the record player plywood box. It seems my life thru the ages
is always spinning around like a record disc.I remember how it all started with
the first single record Dad brought home to his three pre-teen daughters which
was that summer hit novelty song of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">1960
"She Wore an Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.” </i></span></span></span></b>

moved to Massapequa, Long Island where I grew to love records even more. I
decided I would buy with my allowance – a Beatles <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hard Day’s Night</i> album because I just
sang along with the movie at the drive-in.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

during early 70’s my twin sister and I did our calisthenics’ exercises rolling

<span style="color: magenta;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">I turned
off the TV. Yet, the choice was not mine. By chance during our home
renovations, my husband and I moved out temporarily while the home repair (new
kitchen/bath) work was being done. We didn’t take the cable TV box with us,
deciding against it due to the expense of disconnecting and installing
elsewhere which could result in the loss of our special plan. Without cable
hookup, no TV would work, so we lived without a TV.</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: magenta;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Living without
a TV is the new normal for us. We will be back home soon enough, but during
this time our life has change channels so to speak. It seems radio days are
here again…as my husband Bob and I turn on the radio; FAM Sports, WHLI AM, 1010
News and Family Radio. Reading has become a page turner in this chapter of our
lives: reading the newspapers, books, magazines, jumble and crossword puzzles.
And conversation has turned up its volume as my husband and I talk more.</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: magenta;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">I admit I
can’t join in with the office water cooler TV shows talk at work…but like a TV
commercial, it was just chatter and a waste of time. But shutting off the TV
has its rewards. It seems shutting off the TV has become a blessing in
disguise. The TV blocked my energy to be free to live life to the fullest.
Without spacing out wasting time in front of the TV, I have found space in my
day to get everything done. After years of Mom telling me to shut off the TV
and do something worthwhile – I am. Mother was right after all.</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: magenta;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">For me,
TV watching is like chocolate cake…it’s something that I once enjoyed but was

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i style="background-color: #ead1dc;">I recall the Christmas morning of yesteryear when I was growing up. That morning my sisters and I hurried downstairs to our red and white checkered Christmas Stockings with our names in sparkles. In each, we found one puppet from the “Dennis the Menace” set. <br /><br />Happily by chance there were three puppets in the set — one for each of us. Maybe that was why Santa gave us the set of three, knowing that my parents always taught us to share and share alike.c<br />Santa gave me the mother/ wife character puppet with blond hair wearing an apron, because Mom always told me I had a heart of gold, Santa gave my older sister, Teresa, the father puppet for she was the older sister, and my twin sister, Laura, received the star puppet — Dennis the little rascal running around town — much like Laura’s high spirit.<br /><br />But who knew that I would grow up to be a wife; Teresa would wear glasses and Laura would grow up to marry a man named, Dennis, a little rascal of his own — yet this time she didn’t pull the strings. <br />c Apparently Santa knew and pulls the strings on Christmas. Santa knows best after all.</i></b></span></td></tr>

<span style="color: #990000;">I remember my rock n roll days listening to records spinning
on a turntable. I scattered records all over the floor by the plywood
phonograph. It seems my life through the ages has always spun like a phonograph
record. I remember how it all started with the first single Dad brought home to
his three pre-teen daughters, the summer hit novelty song of 1960, She Wore
an Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. <br /><br />By the year
1965, as teenagers, we moved to Massapequa, Long Island, where I grew to love
records even more. I decided to buy with my allowance a Beatles Hard Day’s
Night album that I had sung along with the movie at the drive-in. I took the
public bus with my friend, Mary, to Bar Harbor Shopping, but when I reached
Grants Department Store, the clerk told me the album had sold out. Reluctantly I
selected another Beatles album that was just released, Rubber Soul,
because the Beatles looked cute on the cover. <br /><br />When I overheard Dad
singing from the basement where he was working crooning along to Rubber Soul
songs; It’s Only Love, Norwegian Wood, and I’m Looking Through
You, I came to love the album and didn’t regret the substitution after all.
<br /><br />Becoming young women during early 70’s, my twin sister and I did our
calisthenics’ exercises rolling around on the floor to the beat of spinning
record hits of the day such as Young Girl, This Guys In love with You,
Spooky, and Girl Watcher as motivation to keep in shape. Doing knee
bends, jumping jacks, and toe touching was fun moving to the beat.
<br /><br />Another blast from the past was my new car radio. When I drove my first
car, Chevy Vega, the music blasted from the FM/AM Radio and I sang along driving
down Sunrise Highway to songs like I am Woman, sung by Helen Reddy. I
still have the "45" record today and I’m still singing along.<br /><br />Records
continued to influence my life. When I became engaged to my soon-to-be husband,
Bob Davniero, my mother searched for and bought the oldie hit, Bobbie’s
Girl. I have the "45" today among my record collection stored under the bed
in a circular case. Today, my husband’s record albums, such as those of Jimmy
Hendrix, and my albums, like Carole King's Tapestry, are stored together
under a record player stereo that Bob's mother gave us at our wedding shower
over 30 years ago. It still works and so does our marriage. <br /><br />While we
planned our formal wedding, Bob chose as our wedding song, an Elvis ballad
The Wonder of You that we had heard on the radio. Of course I still have
the record.<br /><br />Our lives together are forever spinning around like a record
– sometimes our life is a hit and other times there’s the flip side – but we
just keep on playing along, singing our song. I find the music lives on — the
songs from the records I didn’t forget. The party isn’t over yet. The beat goes
on…</span></td></tr>

<b><i><span style="background-color: #ead1dc; color: magenta; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Yesterday's
Valentine Day was back at a time with my little girl's ways. It was my
Valentine's Day start - my first sweetheart. He was handsome and
charming and would give me a heart-shaped box of candy. The candy heart box
was small to fit a little girl's size in sweet tones of pastel pink with red
roses trim. "Sweets to the sweet" he would say.<br />
<br />
But my Valentine beau had another love, too. Although I knew in my heart that
my Valentine would always love me my entire life, he loved my mother too, for
she was his wife. You see, my first Valentine sweetheart was my Daddy, Gerard
Fischetti. Dad loved us both. He had enough love to share, so I didn't mind.
After all, I loved Mom, too.<br />
<br />
My heart would always belong to Daddy, as the song lyrics say. Yet, growing
up my boyfriend came to play the part for my Valentine sweetheart. Although
my boyfriends gave me candy, none tasted as good as the candy from Daddy.
Besides, by that time I was watching my figure counting candy calories, not
eating as many, for I wanted my boyfriends to watch my figure, too.<br />
<br />
Gone may be the days of yesterday's Valentine's Day, but I am happy for
today's Valentine's Day love is my handsome husband, Bob, my only Valentine
sweetheart happily ever after. As time goes by yesterday's Valentine's
Day and I part. Alas, I am left with a broken heart when I recall the day my
first Valentine, my Dad, passed away. Yesterday's Valentine's Day will always
hold a special place in my heart for love never dies and Valentine's Day
survives.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

My life has been a shoe-in on the path of life. Walk this walk. It all began
when I was learning to walk in my first baby shoes. As I stepped out of them
growing up, Mom had one of the baby shoes bronzed. Today, it's a heavyweight,
standing guard as a doorstop for a stubborn closet door that won't stay
closed. I learned to lace up my white Ked rubber sole sneakers Mom
brought at Grants Department Store. </span></i></b></span></div>

Easter Sunday, showing off my shiny black patent leather new shoes worn with
white lace trim ankle socks. I took the steps to learn in brown
collegiate school penny saver loafers that never seemed to have a penny in
the flap. When it rained, my sisters and I would mosey over to our hall
closet for our red plastic galoshes that always seemed too big, but our feet
did stay dry nevertheless. </span></i></b></span></div>

Summertime was the time for flip-flops decked out for the beach; the
flip-flops seemed to separate my big toe from the rest. I worried my feet
would stay that way. As I grew older, I changed summer shoes to leather
sandals to match leather

When I started dating and striding to appear taller, I hiked up my inches
wearing platform shoes. I could then lookup to all the tall guys that asked
me out. It seemed platform shoes fit my walking style, but spike heels lost
me my composure. I even wore my white platform shoes marching up the aisle on
my wedding day, as an alternative for the more appropriate fancy high heels, fearful I would fall as I walked down the
aisle. The wedding gown hid the platform shoes, except when I stepped from
the limo, reaching for my Dad's hand as we prepared to walk down the aisle. </span></i></b></span></div>

Years later, my wedding platforms don't walk anywhere, stored in the back of
my bedroom closet The shoes of one's past tell the story of one's life

during our journey through life leave an imprint of where we have been to
where we are going. Yet, with or without shoes, even barefoot, we never walk

I found that turning off TV is a healthy lifestyle — I know because I'm
living it. Yet, this time, the choice was not mine. By chance, during our
home improvements, my husband and I moved out temporarily while my kitchen
was renovated. We didn't take the cable TV box with us deciding against it,
as disconnecting and installing elsewhere could result in loss of our special
plan. Without cable hookup, no TV works, so for the time being, we live
without a TV.<br />
<br />
Living without a TV is the new normal for us and reminds us this is not our
home. We will be backing home soon enough, but during this time our life has
changed channels, so to speak. My hubby's not loving it, as Bob is a big
sports fan missing his Mets ballgames. It seems radio days are here again,
when my husband and I turn on our radio's favorite stations; FAM Sports, WHLI
AM, 1010 News and Family Radio. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; color: magenta;"><b><i>Reading newspapers, books and doing crossword
puzzles has become our leisure. And conversation has turned up its volume as
we talk more. Shutting off the TV has become a blessing in disguise. I
was a TV junkie, living by my kitchen TV, cooking and eating while watching
TV, and losing sleep. The TV blocked my energy to be free to live life to the
fullest. Life is not a spectator sport. Without wasting time in front of TV
spacing out, I have found time in my day to get everything done; family,
computer, reading, balancing checkbook, chores, hobby writing and drawing,
shopping, church, library, fairs and all the summer fun!<br />
<br />
For me, TV watching is like chocolate cake — it's something that I once
enjoyed that I don't enjoy anymore. It was too much of a good thing that
stole my time. No more a TV junkie. TV doesn't own me anymore. And my husband
is no longer a couch potato. We're both in better shape and growing closer
with this time together. It's a new world. Life is not a spectator sport. I
learned to live life, not watch it. Essentially, turning off the TV, turned
into a better, healthier lifestyle for me<u>.</u><u>-</u></i></b></span><br />

<b><span style="color: red; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Sarah Palin’s book tour her new memoir book, “Going Rogue” has begun. Hopefully, Palin will be better prepared this time around for interviews. </span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt -9pt; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: red; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">There is no such thing as over exposure when it comes to Palin for she is a product of the media for which her career was sold to the public. And the public brought her and is expected to buy her book to make it a predictable best seller – released just in time for holiday gifts. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: red; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Perhaps Sarah Palin’s book tour will turn the page on her next political step onward to the next chapter as Palin follows a path less taken by most women. In any hope to know the real Sarah Palin I suggest you read between the lines. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: red; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">There is no denying that Sarah Palin is definitely back. As her father puts it: “She’s not quitting – she’s reloading” – perhaps aiming to take a shot to run for the Presidency in 21012!</span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt -9pt; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: red; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Sarah Palin has the “it factor” for success to draw crowds, sell books and hear the applause for fame – you just can’t not like her! Yet, after I learned more about her, I have come to disagree with her political views and frankly, I question her ability to govern. </span></b></div>

Senator John McCain won the debate. Mr. McCain was on his game and on the offense, putting Senator Barack Obama on the defensive.</div>

The camera showed Mr. McCain with fortitude, statesmanlike and tough enough to be commander in chief; and soft enough to relate to the people in the grandfather, father or husband role as head of the family.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="363" data-total-count="1840" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 120px; max-width: 540px; width: 495px;">
At times, Mr. McCain seemed to model and pride himself after Dwight D. Eisenhower as the wiser, military worldly leader, even citing Eisenhower at times. Experience counts — and when Mr. McCain cast doubt of accusation that “Senator Obama does not understand,” answering Mr. Obama reciting a chorus of “You’re absolutely right,” we tend to believe it.</div>

As president, Mr. McCain would roll up his sleeves and act on his campaign promises, as his plans go beyond words, while Mr. Obama would probably write another book.</div>

Mr. McCain won this round, essentially because Mr. Obama didn’t (given the Harvard advantage of his fluent eloquent speech mannerism).</div>

The audience gains as these debates go on even if the next one stays level with the first. Perhaps the debate was not a game changer; only the voters can say that on Election Day.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At Christmas, Mother serenaded the family all through the house with her own written Christmas Carol she wrote, aptly entitled, “It’s Christmas All Through the House,” accompany by her piano instrumental of the song’s musical score and verse she wrote. Time wrapped itself with every note she sang, a part of long ago singing across time. </span></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My Mother’s (Helen Fischetti) passion was song writing. Her creative song writing was a hiatus from daily life. Her musical repertoire were numerous songs, yet, “It’s Christmas All Through the House” remained her favorite and was brought out every holiday year at Christmas; fostering a sense of family belonging by sharing Mother’s traditional song at our gathering. . </span></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Alas, her song went unpublished. Perhaps to compensate for the unpublished song, I sought to memorialize her favorite song, “It’s Christmas All Through the House,” by way of laminating a copy of her handwritten musical score onto a decorative plaque suitable for display, as my Christmas gift to her. I am anything if not sentimental. </span></b></div>

of “the Voice of God.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>

having a wonderful Christmas time when I unwrap all the priceless gifts I
receive. These are a few of my favorite things - church choir carols, warm glow
of the fireplace, snowflakes falling, twinkling lights on the Christmas tree, a
kiss under the mistletoe with friends and family. <br /><br />Find the comfort and
joy of the season – the best things in life</span> are not things. Memories are made of
this – spending family time with loved ones without spending money. Being
together as a family is a gift. <br /><br />You may not receive all the gifts on
your list under the Christmas tree – yet you probably received all that you need
in the priceless gifts of faith, love, family and friendship.

holiday season are needed to be near us all year long. Why can’t people always
act like its Christmas? After all, we are all God’s children in His family. It
can feel like Christmas every day celebrating and glorifying the birth of Jesus.
Perhaps, <span style="color: #0b5394;">we</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> shall live in harmony reaching out to
others in need and loving thy neighbor. We might aim to leave the world better

the joyful cheer and worship of Christmas songs from the holiday season I tune

after all.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I recall the Christmas morning of yesteryear when I was
growing up. That morning my sisters and I hurried downstairs to our red and
white checkered Christmas Stockings with our names in sparkles. In each, we
found one puppet from the “Dennis the Menace” set. <br /><br />Happily by chance
there were three puppets in the set — one for each of us. Maybe that was why
<i>Santa</i> gave us the set of three, knowing that my parents always taught us
to share and share alike.c<br />Santa gave me the mother/ wife character puppet
with blond hair wearing an apron, because Mom always told me I had a heart of
gold, Santa gave my older sister, Teresa, the father puppet for she was the
older sister, and my twin sister, Laura, received the star puppet — Dennis the
little rascal running around town — much like Laura’s high spirit.<br /><br />But
who knew that I would grow up to be a wife; Teresa would wear glasses and Laura
would grow up to marry a man named, <i>Dennis,</i> a little rascal of his own —
yet this time she didn’t pull the strings. <br />c Apparently Santa knew and pulls
the strings on Christmas. Santa knows best after
all.</span></td></tr>

<div id="article_content" style="width: 100%;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I recall the Christmas morning of yesteryear as a child, when my two sisters and I (Laura my twin, Teresa, older sis and me) each found a “Dennis the Menace” puppet in each of our stockings.
Apparently there were three puppets in the set. Santa gave me the mother/wife character puppet. Santa gave Teresa the father puppet of the set. And Laura, Santa gave her the star puppet, Dennis.
Who could imagine then that Laura would one day grow up to marry a “Dennis?” (Yet this time she didn’t pull the strings.)
Another Christmas past as teenagers my twin sister, Laura and I received a novelty key chain in our stockings that Mom had brought for us. My key chain had a dangling small rubber boy toy with dark hair and dark eyes. Laura’s key chain had a similar rubber boy toy, but hers had sandy color hair with blue eyes.
Who knew than we would each grow up to marry “boys” with the same hair and eyes coloring resembling the key chains? Maybe Santa knew. Our husbands were the “boys” who held the key to unlock our hearts.
I remember a Christmas when I was 19, when Santa gave my sisters and me the same gift. It seems, my mother arranged for a jeweler to design three identical necklaces from her mother’s (my Grandmother Theresa) vintage diamond necklace adorned with four sparklingly diamond stones. The remaining larger stone was created into a necklace for Mom. That Christmas morning under the tree, my sisters and I unwrapped our own individual diamond solitaire diamond necklace on a gold chain - truly a gift that linked us together. I wore this necklace on my wedding day and still wear it today. Diamonds are forever.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This time of year during Thanksgiving season we should count our blessings. Be grateful for the simple things in life. You may not have all that you want yet you probably have all that you need. The best things in life are free after all.<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></b><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This Thanksgiving Day let someone thank you as you give to others - share and share alike. Share your feast, extend a heartfelt invite to the lonely, abandon, and set a place setting to just one forgotten neighbor, try to feed just one hungry person at a time. Do your part – nothing is too small. As Mother Teresa said; “If you can’t feed a hundred people, than feed just one.” <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></b><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Make a difference. Donate food or volunteer at a pantry or soup kitchen. Today is the day to give back. A little bit of that goes a long way. Find a sense of usefulness and giving by helping others. You don’t know how much you have to give until you give to others. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></b><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Try to make the holiday better for others. Helping is its own reward. We get to heaven on the arm of the person we’re helping. Give thanks for our blessings. Try to leave the world better than how you found it. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>It was
during our high school days together when my twin sister, Laura pulled away from
me to be her own person. She was finding her own way in life on a path alone.
Literally she would walk home from school alone without me beside her. In fact,
one of her favorite book titles are; "The Girl Who Walked Home Alone" Biography
Bette Davis </strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>This was one of those times Laura found her inner strength
to be strong. And I simply walked home from school with girlfriend, Margie.
Sometimes one of the senior boys would give us a ride home. I remain teenager
while Laura moved on.</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Our family knew Laura as the one who often spoke
out for injustice; while although I was fine debater, I was the peacemaker.
Laura took on the battles for both of us while I remain neutral. Laura paid the
price for conflict and I reaped the rewards. Later in life she often paid the
price literally too when picking up the tab for me. </strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>As strong as Laura
was becoming she was never hard showing great compassion without regard to any
discomfort or embarrassment to herself. There was a night when a car hit our
beloved black cat, Spooky. </strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><span style="color: blue;">Without hesitation Laura ran out of the
house, undress in her nightgown</span> <span style="color: blue;">without make up on, in an attempt to rescue the
cat. I was found peeping out behind the door watching Laura do the right thing
like a grown up. Without question, Laura accompanies Dad to drive around in
search of emergency veterinary to try to save the cat. Their trip was fruitless
and the cat?s life was loss. Yet, Laura found hers. She was growing up without
me. </span></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>However, it is this ability to walk alone, be strong and show
compassion that has driven her in life to help others and to pick me up when I
fall. I needed her to be strong for me. She was developing her inner strength
really for others as it would be appear, not just for herself. </strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><span style="color: blue;">Sometimes
Laura is high strung; yet it is that energy that fuels her to carry on and carry
the load for others. God has given her the physical strength to defy her size to
carry the 20 lb bags of kitty litter and numerous cat food cans to care for her
many rescue cats. Laura walks proudly with her head up high facing whatever live
offers her. I know I have her back and can lean on her. It has been her strength
that held me up at times. I have become stronger for it.</span> </strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>You won't find
Laura writing her own self-portrait for she shuns the recognition. Although she
tends to dress up, she remains humble. Laura's silence speaks volumes. As her
beloved role model, Saintly Mother Teresa, never wrote her own Autobiography,
Laura won't write one either.</strong></span></span><br />

was during our high school days together when my twin sister, Laura pulled away
from me to be her own person. She was finding her own way in life on a path
alone. Literally she would walk home from school alone without me beside her.
In fact, one of her favorite book titles are; "The Girl Who Walked Home
Alone" Biography Bette Davis. This was one of those times Laura found her
inner strength to be strong. And I simply walked home from school with
girlfriend, Margie. Sometimes one of the senior boys would give us a ride home.
I remain teenager while Laura moved on.<br />
<br />
Our family knew Laura as the one who often spoke out for injustice; while
although I was fine debater, I was the peacemaker. Laura took on the battles
for both of us while I remain neutral. Laura paid the price for conflict and I
reaped the rewards. Later in life she often paid the price literally too when
picking up the tab for me. As strong as Laura was becoming she was never hard
showing great compassion without regard to any discomfort or embarrassment to
herself. There was a night when a car hit our beloved black cat, Spooky. <br />
<br />
Without hesitation Laura ran out of the house, undress in her nightgown without
make up on, in an attempt to rescue the cat. I was found peeping out behind the
door watching Laura do the right thing like a grown up. Without question, Laura
accompanies Dad to drive around in search of emergency veterinary to try to
save the cat. Their trip was fruitless and the cat’s life was loss. Yet, Laura
found hers. She was growing up without me. <br />
<br />
However, it is this ability to walk alone, be strong and show compassion that
has driven her in life to help others and to pick me up when I fall. I needed
her to be strong for me. She was developing her inner strength. Sometimes Laura
is high strung; yet it is that energy that fuels her to carry on and carry the
load for others. God has given her the physical strength to defy her size to
carry the 20 lb bags of kitty litter and numerous cat food cans to care for her
many rescue cats. Laura walks proudly with her head up high facing whatever
live offers her. I know I have her back and can lean on her. It has been her
strength that held me up at times. I have become stronger for it. <br />
<br />
You won't find Laura writing her own self-portrait for she shuns the
recognition. Although she tends to dress up, she remains humble. Laura's
silence speaks volumes. As her beloved role model, Saintly Mother Teresa, never
wrote her own Autobiography, Laura won't write one either. </strong></span></span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Look Ma no TV - I turned off the TV. Yet, the choice was
not mine. By chance during our home renovations my husband and I moved out
temporarily while the home repair (new kitchen/bath) work is being done. We
didn't take the cable TV box with us deciding against it due to the expense of
disconnecting and installing elsewhere could result in loss of our special
plan. Without cable hookup no TV would work, so we're living without a TV.</span></i></b></div>

<b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Living without a TV is the new normal for us. We will be back
home soon enough but during this time our life has change channels so to speak.
It seems radio days are here again...as my husband, Bob and I turn on the
radio; FAM Sports, WHLI AM, 1010 News and Family Radio. Reading has
become a page turner in this chapter of our lives reading the
newspapers, books, magazines, jumble and crossword puzzles. And
conversation has turned up its volume as my husband and I talk more. </span></i></b><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I admit I can't join in with the office water cooler TV shows talk
at work...but like a TV commercial, it was just chatter and a
waste of time. But shutting off the TV has it awards. It
seems shutting off the TV has become a blessing in disguise. The
TV blocked my energy to be free to live life to the fullest. Without
spacing out wasting time in front of TV I have found space in my day to get
everything done. After years of Mom telling me to shut off the TV and do
something worthwhile - I am. Mother was right after all.</span></i></b><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">For me, TV watching is like chocolate cake...it's something that I
once enjoyed but was bad for me, that I don't do anymore. And I'm healthier and
better shape since turning off the TV. And my husband and I only are
getting closer.</span></i></b><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Living without TV reminds me this is not our home. It's not
forever and the real Gallup Poll can only be taken after we back home
hooked up with cable, if I will resume the old TV habit. But I have
learned that living without TV isn't so bad after all - I can survive! </span></i></b><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

when I was at her house I wasn’t the best guest, often monopolizing the
conversation, and she silently smiled and just listened. Bob, as the compliant
obliging husband accepted whatever I decided for our holiday plans. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>

eyes glisten beneath a pile of blonde bouffant hair framing a natural pretty
face, my thoughts swirled “How can this blond woman be my Italian’s date’s mother?”

that greeting, she steps aside to allow her son to meet his blind date. It was
the beginning of her stepping aside to make room for us in her busy active

took charge of buying “our” gifts for friends and family. I remember our first
Mother’s Day gift to my mother-in-law - an engraved tea cup set for display.
Unaccustomed to real gifts from her son, Bob (Bob always gave cash inserted in
gift cards rather than actually buying something.) Gig was happily surprised “A gift from Bob…that's different...How
lovely the cup is...” she explained upon unwrapping her present.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

Often I reconcile my ambivalence towards Mother by sharing writings with her. Yet, her plans to be published had not gone beyond her words, as her works went unpublished and came to be her remorse in life as Mother confronted the last chapter of her life brought on by a terminal cancer.</span></b></div>

friends and family. I remember our first Mother’s Day gift to my mother-in-law -
an engraved tea cup set for display. Unaccustomed to real gifts from her son,
Bob (Bob always gave cash inserted in cards rather than actually buying
something.) Gig was happily surprised “A gift from Bob…how lovely” she explained
upon receiving present. Days later I found our gift proudly displayed on her
bedroom dresser. Ever since that first Mother’s Day gift she always graciously
thanked us for our gifts, as the proper lady she was. </span></span></b></div>

something else. Looking back now I realize I could have been a better
daughter-in-law. I thoughtlessly gave Gig cards adorned by cats, because I loved
cats, and Gig didn’t. </span></span></b></div>

holiday planning. Bob and I often celebrated holiday’s dinners with long visits
at my parent’s home while Gig’s holiday visits were brief morning breakfasts at
her house. And when I was at her house I wasn’t the best guest, often
monopolizing the conversation, and she silently smiled and just listened. Bob,
as the compliant obliging husband accepted whatever I decided for our holiday
plans.</span> </span></span></b></div>

mother conspire to plot arranging her son, Bob, to phone me for a blind date.
Suddenly it’s 1979 and Gig’s son phoned. It was the blind date that changed my
life. We met at Gig’s house. There Gig stood at the front door to welcome me. It
was the first time I met her, too. I recall looking at this comely woman,
smiling at me as her blue eyes glisten beneath a pile of blonde bouffant hair
framing a natural pretty face, my thoughts swirled thinking; “How can this blond
woman be my Italian’s date’s mother?” </span></span></b></div>

date. It was the beginning of her stepping aside to make room for us in her busy
active life. At that time, divorced from Bob’s father and remarried she often
traveled with her new husband. In fact she barely made our wedding and wore a
gown from her cruise as mother-of-the- groom. </span></span></b></div>

Although there was always room and place settings for us, I often felt like an
outsider being accustomed to my parents’ special attention given us. As a result
I often turned down her many invitations on behalf of Bob and me. Yet, Bob was
not forgotten as Gig always had “the black/white cookies Bob loves…just for Bob”
as part of her desert spread.</span></span></b></div>

retirement community, and struck by cancer. The diagnosis was not good. Yet when
remission set in and stalled the deadly process we planned Mother’s Day. Our
gift that year was our invitation to take her out for Mother’s Day dinner at
Chateau Lamer. As usual Gig graciously accepted our gift, although this gift
seemed to genuinely excite her and she told family members “Bob and Susan are
taking me out for Mother’s Day…”</span></span></b></div>

Gig died the
following Sunday morning befittingly on Mother’s Day, May 12, 2001. We never
really gave her that last gift. This memoir is my belated Mother’s Day gift to
my mother-in-law, Gig (Gertrude Davniero-Ellison) HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, GIG! </span></span></span></b></div>

sang along with the movie at the drive-in. I took the public bus with my friend,

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It was on a crowded Brooklyn street
when my sister dropped her contact lens. It was one of those Sundays at our
Grandparents. Dad drove the family from our Cap Code Massapequa family home to
my Grandparents three story Victorian Brooklyn home nestled between two
apartment buildings. Grandpa tried saving a parking space for Dad with his
garbage can but the can was always pushed aside for someone else’s parking
space by the time we arrived. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My twin sister was
growing up at 14 but it was older sister, Teresa at 16, a young lady now and
wanted contact eyes to replace her school age glasses. She wore her contacts to
look grown up for our Grandparents who loving tease; <i>“Barely recognized this young beautiful lady (with contact lens..bella..”

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After our afternoon authentic
Italian meal by my Italian born Grandmother the sun invited us “young people” my
sisters and our cousins to take a walk. Apparently my older sister was still
adapting to her contact lens when she turning a corner by a Drug Store and one
of the lens popped out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> It seemed hopeless to find a clear lens almost
invisible on a contact sidewalk. A couple strolled by noticing how anxious in
search for something of value the man asked <i>“What
did you lose – a diamond?”</i> And he bends down helping to look. When we reply
it was a contact lens he lost interest and promptly walked away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

search looking for a clear lens my thought wander back to the winter when we
were little girls playing in the snow. My older sister and I would look for “diamonds
in the snow” made from ice. I always
found the most ice diamonds and I knew I could find the ‘diamond” again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to me - the clear lens sparkling like a diamond <u>f</u>rom the sunlight lying
on the sidewalk. I was always good looking for diamonds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My family played together, but I question whether the game was a typical family activity. My family's game was poker. It began when we were children- my father taught my sisters and me how to play. The version was straight, 5-card poker, draw or 7-card stud poker- nothing wild or childish would do. It was the real deal. Eager to learn, we adapted to the game with ease, soon mastering it and playing with a skill that belied our ages.</span></strong></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then, the game was played with pennies and we learned the value of the dollar as the pennies added up. If we lost a hand, our father affectionately taunted us, "I have no sympathy for losers," and we learned to lose gracefully, never to be sore losers. If we won, we won with tact as ladies, never to boaster brag. Yet, the real "win" was the time spent with father. He loved poker and he loved us - it was a winning combination for all of us.</span></strong></div>

<strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On holidays and special occasions, all the relatives played poker. It was the family tradition: After the holiday dinner, the cards were dealt to young and old alike. The bets and stakes at the "children's table" differed from those at the adults' table. We were all winners.</span></strong></div>

<strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the day of my wedding shower, the men gathered at my father's house for poker as the women attended the bridal shower at my mother-in-law's. As I was "cleaning up with gifts" at my bridal shower, my betrothed, Bob, was "cleaning up at poker" at my father's, as my father would recall of that day. My husband, Bob, was winning me with the deal, and he knew then, he was marrying into the right family. </span></strong></div>

with Dad and Mom, <br />
My dad, Gerard Fischetti, always told me “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Go
back to church…”</i> </span><span style="color: #943634; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12pt;">Back when I was growing up at home I was finding my own
way. Alas, my way was leading me away from the church. I can still hear my
Dad's plea; “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Go back to church”</i> as if
it was an answer to all my teenage problems. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
That was then this is now. Today when I attend Sunday mass at <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Our Lady of Perpetual Help </i>in
Lindenhurst with my husband Bob my faith grows stronger and I leave the church
feeling better than I did before I entered. </span><span style="color: #943634; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12pt;">At church singing a hymn loud is nearly as important as
singing in tune as I join in. I try to sing better than last week as we all
sing "<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Alleluia! Alleluia</i>!"
The Lord is divinely hospitable. We had a blessed time at the House of God. <br />
<br />
As I sit at church my mind wanders back to another time at my parent's home
when I was growing up. I whisper, as if my beloved deceased Dad, Gerard
Fischetti, can hear me; "<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dad, I am
back</i>." The answer is here. Dad was right. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12pt;">The church welcomes everyone back. The door is always open.
Regardless of attire, wealth, or creed - all are invited for a visit at the
House of God. Come home to the church. You will find your answers there. My Dad
was right after all. <br />
<br />
You can go home again. Sometimes Fathers know best</span><span style="color: #943634; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I saw it - the blue tea cup set, pattern with white florets surrounding the trim

Santa.” It wasn’t china, just simply a plastic toy replica of the English style
Waterford china, but I loved it as if it was the real thing. Knowing how much
Daddy loved his coffee, I wanted the tea set so I could have coffee with Dad. I
always wanted to be near my Dad, he was a special Dad, a handsome gentleman who

I all called Dad the “El Exigente,” connoisseur of coffee the demanding one for
Savarin ground coffee, our take off mimicking the television commercial.

Unfortunately, the cups gave our drinks a bitter plastic taste, but Dad didn't

hit the spot," he said, quickly adding, "One cup is plenty, I'm
full." He never drank just one cup of coffee, but this was his way of
tactfully turning down a second without hurting my feelings. I didn't even
finish my cup because of that plastic taste.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: name;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1752a9; font-family: "courier new"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: red; font-size: small;">It was Christmas morning and I was just 5 years old. Under the
tree, I saw it - the blue tea set with the white florets around the trim that
was on my list for Santa! It was just a plastic replica of English-style
Waterford china, but I loved it as if it were real. Knowing Daddy loved coffee,
I wanted the set so I could have coffee with him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></span></div>

I'd surprise him. With teacups in hand, I dashed to the kitchen. I could smell
Savarin-brand coffee brewing. It was the only kind my dad drank. When we grew
up in the 1960s, my sisters and I called our dad the "El Exigente,"
the demanding character in Savarin's TV commercials.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></span></div>

the way Daddy liked it. Then I poured myself a drop of coffee (since I was told

full." He never drank just one cup of coffee, but this was his way of
tactfully turning down a second without hurting my feelings. I didn't even
finish my cup because of that plastic taste.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;"><strong>Re: Father Anthony Trapani<br />Resignation at OLPH Lindenhurst<br /><br />Farewell to Father Anthony Trapani leaving Our Lady of Perpetual Church in Lindenhurst in June 2012. We will miss Father Anthony. Apparently, alas “this drama of darkness” the good Father endured has led him to this resignation. We regret it has come to this.<br /><br />I recall an OLPH Mass one morning recently when Father Anthony said at Mass - "God will decide how he wants to use us ... God doesn't ask for a resume or letter of reference." Perhaps he was speaking about himself at this crosswords of his ministry to "services in another part of the vineyard of this Diocese.” as the Bishop said.<br /><br />I trust the good Father Anthony will continue to spread God’s word as he walks in faith on the road ahead - God’s way. This need not be an end but a beginning to a new chapter. Go with the Lord.<br /><br />When the Our Lady of Perpetual Church Pastor changes we will change with him. Yet, alas, no one can really take the place of Father Anthony Trapani’s place. God Bless<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Susan and Robert Davniero</strong></span></div>

<strong><span style="color: #351c75;">Farewell to Pope Benedict in his stunning resignation as he stepped down in
February as pope at the crossroads of his ministry. <br />
<br />
Perhaps as a sign from God, lightning struck the dome of St. Peter's Basilica
only hours after the pontiff announced his resignation. <br />
<br />
This need not be an end but a beginning to a new chapter. We trust Benedict
will continue to spread God's word as he walks in faith on the road. <br />
<br />
When the pope changes, we all change with him; yet, alas, no one can really
take the place of Pope Benedict. <br />

hymn loud is nearly as important as singing in tune as I join in. I try to sing
better than last week as we all sing "Alleluia! Alleluia!" The Lord
is divinely hospitable. We had a blessed time at the House of God. <br />
<br />
As I sit at church my mind wanders back to another time at my parent's home
when I was growing up. I whisper, as if my beloved deceased Dad, Gerard
Fischetti, can hear me; "Dad, I am back." The answer is here. Dad was
right. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">We are all at Mass together. You are not alone in the
spiritual sacrament of Holy Communion that is shared by all during Mass as we
rejoice singing the communion hymn. Let us all join in the celebration. Look
around at all the parishioners alongside you. As Catholic
faithful, we draw closer (“That they may be one” John 17.21). </span></div>

Communion of love of Jesus. “When we eat this bread and drink this wine, we
proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come again...” </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">We gather in church as the blessed apostles gathered at the Last Supper to
break bread together. There is a place setting for all at the Lord’s table to
serve all. No one is ever alone at Communion. After all, there were 12 of Jesus’
apostles at the Last Supper.</span></div>

communion is the rite of passage until our everlasting communion in heaven

<span style="color: #134f5c;"><img alt="St Catherine Labouré" class="left" src="http://www.cammonline.org/images/uploads/page-pics/cat1.jpg" height="268" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" title="St Catherine Labouré" width="157" /> St Catherine Labouré was born on the 2nd of May 1806 at Fainles-Moutiers, a picturesque village of Burgundy, France. She was the ninth child in a happy family of eleven. God made known the choice of this soul by marking her at an early age with the seal of suffering, for when she was only nine years old she lost her mother.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">Saint Catherine Labouré responded to the divine call by entering the Community of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul in Paris. Here, during the first months of her novitiate, she was favored with a number of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin, who confided to her the mission of having the Miraculous Medal made.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">Until shortly before her death Saint Catherine kept a strict silence concerning these apparitions, speaking of them only to her confessor, according to the instructions of Our Lady.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">During 46 years Saint Catherine witnessed the wonders and miracles wrought through the Medal. During all this time, carefully guarding her secret of the apparitions, she humbly performed her commonplace duties, devoting herself especially to the care of the infirmed men of Enghien, a suburb of Paris. For this she is called the patroness of seniors.</span><br />
<span class="capDivRight" style="width: 174px;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><img alt="St Catherine Labouré" class="right" src="http://www.cammonline.org/images/uploads/page-pics/cat2.jpg" height="134" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" title="St Catherine Labouré" width="174" /><span class="caption">St Catherine Labouré </span></span></span><span style="color: #134f5c;">On the 31st of December 1876, Saint Catherine left this earth for heaven, to contemplate there her Immaculate Queen whose love and beauty had captured her heart on earth.<br /><br />Her body was exhumed 57 years later and found in perfect condition. Even death respected her who had enjoyed the extraordinary privilege of resting her hands on the knees of the Blessed Virgin for more than two hours during one of the apparitions. Saint Catherine was canonized by Pope Pius XII on July 27, 1947.<br /><br />The simplicity of Saint Catherine's life endears her to everyone. She became a saint by doing her commonplace duties well, for God. This "Saint of Ordinary People" has the secret of sanctity for us all.</span><br />

If He gives me something, I am very pleased and I thank Him. If He gives me nothing, I still thank Him because I do not deserve anything. And then again, I tell Him all that passes through my mind; I recount my pains and my joys and ... I listen. If you listen to Him, He will speak to you also, because with the good God it is necessary to speak and to listen. He will always speak to you if you go to Him simply and sincerely.</em></span><br />

Epistle Letters are like “God's Love Letters” to us all. <br />
When my husband Bob and I attend Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church Sunday
Service, I always felt close to the Gospel Letters Readings narration because I
always like to write and exchange letters. <br />
<br />
Letter writing to friends and family always held a special place in my life.
What separated my husband, Bob, when we dated from the rest was that he wrote
me love letters. No boyfriend ever did that before. And I did not tell him I
like letter writing exchange. But he knew how to reach me. <br />
<br />
Today the church is drawing me closer with the Gospel readings Epistle letters
- God knows how to reach me with God's love letters! <br />
<br />
In my feelings, the Holy Gospel Epistle Letters Reading are like “God's Love
Letters” to us all. <br />

Farewell to Pope Benedict in his stunning resignation as he stepped down in
February as pope at the crossroads of his ministry. <br />
<br />
Perhaps as a sign from God, lightning struck the dome of St. Peter's Basilica
only hours after the pontiff announced his resignation. <br />
<br />
This need not be an end but a beginning to a new chapter. We trust Benedict
will continue to spread God's word as he walks in faith on the road. <br />
<br />
When the pope changes, we all change with him; yet, alas, no one can really
take the place of Pope Benedict. <br />

Then there are a host of palms that fall in between (the two extremes).<br /><br />Hawaii, Australia, Southern California, and South Florida (common places for one to grow) in the USA</strong></em></span></div>

Dinner for the needy in the

Far from being a quiet room,
the soup kitchen is busy with volunteers preparing the turkey and trimmings.
The aroma of turkey baking
pervades the air, as we all get to work. We’re handed aprons and instructed
to join in the line to pack
meals-on-wheels delivered to shut-ins.</em></strong></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN" style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Welcome to the new Latin translation verses of the Catholic Mass.

<strong><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN">Translation of the Mass is beyond definition of the biblical lessons to illuminate the stories behind the words.

<b><span lang="EN" style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Through him the community of the faithful members of the church together shall be joined by the word of God beyond the language of the day.

<b><span lang="EN" style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; mso-ansi-language: EN;">In my humble opinion, the motive of the new Mass translation will awaken the people. The proof moreover: the Bible is the literature of the Mass— the Word of God.</span></b></div>

<b><span lang="EN" style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Perhaps the new verses will offer a new spiritual path at a time that so urgently needs one. Changing the course will test us if we’re paying attention. Church members are talking. We will be awaken to spread the good word. Faith isn’t just for Sunday, after all. Sometimes change is good.</span></b><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I dreamt that I saw a big hand reaching out from behind my bedroom curtain. It made me jump out of bed and scream to my husband, “Someone is trying to get in the house!” My husband woke me up and told me I was dreaming. Please let me know what this means.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Analysis:</b> More often than not, a hand that reaches out is a symbol of physical or emotional need. The bigger the hand, the easier it is to come to grips with what is demanded from you. In this view, the hand represents someone that needs your assistance. Alternatively, the extended hand reveals your wish for a helping hand. Yet, given your fearful response, the scary hand may refer to an intrusive presence in your life, an infringement of personal space</span><span style="color: blue;">.</span></span></span></div>

a February night in 1979. I recall looking at the snow froze on the ground left
from last night’s snow fall wondering how roads will be for driving to my blind

drove to my mother’s friend, Gig’s house across town to meet her son, my blind
date. </span></span></span></span></b></div>

Nice looking I sum up as his black eyes meet mine. I consider how everyone who
ever loved me from my father, mother, twin sister, Grandma, to Uncle Paulie;
all had dark eyes like him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></b></div>

<br />
2013 has been a gratifying year of helping our friends and neighbors on Long
Island.<br />
<br />
When Sandy barreled down on Long Island in October 2012, it left a path of
destruction and despair. With the generous outpouring from more than 4,500
donors to the <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Hurricane Sandy Long
Island Disaster Relief</span> campaign, and matching funds from the McCormick
Foundation, $1,669,174 was granted through Newsday Charities to help rebuild
the hopes and homes of Long Islanders.<br />
<br />
When we published the <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Report to the
Community</span> sharing how we invested your donations restoring our
community, nearly <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">300 donors</span>
felt compelled to do even more and <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">gave
over $15,000</span> to help those less fortunate.
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Century","serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br />
Through our <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Help-A-Family</span>
campaign, <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">more than $800,000 will be
granted</span> by the end of the year to nonprofit organizations strengthening
Long Island. Agencies like:<br />
• New Ground - empowers homeless children by helping them <br />
improve their reading skills.<br />
• Society of St. Vincent de Paul that provides housing for those <br />
in crises <br />
• Island Harvest giving low income kids backpacks filled with <br />
nutritious food to take home for the weekend.</span></span></i></b><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Century","serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Century","serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 191;"></span></span></div>

She was the ninth child in a happy family of eleven. God made known the choice of this soul by marking her at an early age with the seal of suffering, for when she was only nine years old she lost her mother.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="content">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: small;">Saint Catherine Labouré responded to the divine call by entering the Community of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul in Paris. Here, during the first months of her novitiate, she was favored with a number of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin, who confided to her the mission of having the Miraculous Medal made.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: small;">Until shortly before her death Saint Catherine kept a strict silence concerning these apparitions, speaking of them only to her confessor, according to the instructions of Our Lady.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: small;">During 46 years Saint Catherine witnessed the wonders and miracles wrought through the Medal. During all this time, carefully guarding her secret of the apparitions, she humbly performed her commonplace duties, devoting herself especially to the care of the infirmed men of Enghien, a suburb of Paris. For this she is called the patroness of seniors.</span><br />

Even death respected her who had enjoyed the extraordinary privilege of resting her hands on the knees of the Blessed Virgin for more than two hours during one of the apparitions. Saint Catherine was canonized by Pope Pius XII on July 27, 1947.<br /><br />The simplicity of Saint Catherine's life endears her to everyone. She became a saint by doing her commonplace duties well, for God. This "Saint of Ordinary People" has the secret of sanctity for us all.</span></span><br />

If He gives me something, I am very pleased and I thank Him. If He gives me nothing, I still thank Him because I do not deserve anything. And then again, I tell Him all that passes through my mind; I recount my pains and my joys and ... I listen. If you listen to Him, He will speak to you also, because with the good God it is necessary to speak and to listen. He will always speak to you if you go to Him simply and sincerely.</em></span><br />

however, in my family it’s all in the cards. The family that plays poker together
stays together. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For my mother, Helen
Fischetti, Mother’s Day was one of those holidays when after dinner we stayed
together for a family poker game. There was one Mother’s Day, my Mother joined
the players for poker. By that time, Mother was now a widow without Dad. It was
Dad who started poker years ago and in his memory we kept the family poker tradition
alive. Poker lives. </span></div>

Teresa, my twin Laura and her husband Dennis. Dennis deals and we are waging
bets adding to the tilt of the kitty. Mom played her cards close with a sly
smile on her lips suggesting we all just fold. Calling her bluff, Mom smiled as
she revealed the winning hand – a Royal Flush! </span></div>

to the unwritten law of Poker, the remaining cards, with the exclusion of the
five cards honoring the Royal Flush, were discarded and the Royal Flush cards
were framed for displaying. My mother came to say, “That was the best Mother’s
Day present I ever was dealt.”</span></div>

the framed Royal Flush, which now hangs in my hallway. That Royal Flush speaks
of the good times with Mom. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps
Mother deserves a more proper dignified tribute; however, in our own way poker brought
us all together at her wake. The priest smiled in closing Mom’s eulogy with his
last line “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Helen waits in Heaven asking
to deal her in…”</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

be turning 21 - the legal age for gaming in 1974. Given that I had two-week
vacation due me from work (Del Labs) I asked Teresa if I could tag along, as
little sisters tend to do. I was surprise how eagerly she agreed; <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"Sure! We'll take a charter
flight..."</i> And with that we began to plan our vacation together.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

travel agent, packing clothes in new light blue matching luggage set I brought
at the department store, ready for take-off to fly to Las Vegas on non-stop
flight. Dad wasn’t reluctant to send us off on this gambling venture even
cheering us on; <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Vegas is gaudy but that’s
the way it should be. You’ll love it.”</i> Teresa and I seem to grow closer by

been, to board the biggest plane I ever seen, among the rowdy group of people
on board partying. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

strip which was legendary as the first casino on the strip. Yet, now the casino
seemed dated among the newer ones, but we didn’t mind the pink structure with
plastic flamingos resting by the palm trees. It may sound tacky, but it wasn’t –
it was just Vegas being Vegas. . <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

at 21, who hasn’t traveled much, Las Vegas seem to have it all - the casinos,
clubs, shows, downtown Vegas, continental breakfast comps, sightseeing,
nightlife and celebrities. And we saw many - Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Joey
Heatherton, Bill Crosby, Manhattan Transfer, Sandler & Young, with some of
their autographs. Dean Martin even talked to me from the stage at the MGM Grand
to our front row seats and I received autograph 8 x 10 glossy. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

from our father teaching us poker as children, Teresa and I grew close bonding
in this adult Disney Land. Although we were two young women alone we didn’t hesitate
to walk downtown night or day. All goods thing come to an end, as the week

be over for the people on board. To overcome leaving Vegas, Teresa and I planned
our fantasy return to move to Las Vegas. We planned to work there as Blackjack

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">All in all we are all winners at the poker table by way of being together; however, one Mother’s Day our Mother, Helen Fischetti, was really a winner. By that time, Mother was now a widow without Dad. It was Dad who started poker years ago.

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yet, we didn’t realize just how good hand it was until she revealed the winning hand to beat all odds – a Royal Flush!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She drew into the highest hand in poker dealt in lovely red hearts without skipping a heart beat. </span></b></div>

Perhaps Mother deserves a more proper dignified tribute; however, in our own way poker came to be our last laugh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the family gathered for Mother’s memorial service, the priest lightheartedly mentioned in his eulogy that Mother awaits us in Heaven asking to “Deal her in.” </span></b></div>

sister Teresa and I were not very close growing up, as I would have liked. Yet,
there was once a time we were. I recall back in 1974 Teresa was planning a late
September vacation to Las Vegas. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #d45aba; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: magenta;">September 26, 1974 was the year I would
be turning 21 - the legal age for gaming in 1974. Given that I had two-week
vacation due me from work (Del Labs) I asked Teresa if I could tag along, as
little sisters tend to do. I was surprise how eagerly she agreed; <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"Sure! We'll take a charter
flight..."</i> And with that we began to plan our vacation together.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #d45aba; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: magenta;">It was so exciting, meeting with a
travel agent, packing clothes in new light blue matching luggage set I brought
at the department store, ready for take-off to fly to Las Vegas on non-stop
flight. Dad wasn’t reluctant to send us off on this gambling venture even
cheering us on; <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Vegas is gaudy but that’s
the way it should be. You’ll love it.”</i> Teresa and I seem to grow closer by
the day as the departure came closer. I wasn’t scared, although I should have
been, to board the biggest plane I ever seen, among the rowdy group of people
on board partying. </span></span></div>

strip which was legendary as the first casino on the strip. Yet, now the casino
seemed dated among the newer ones, but we didn’t mind the pink structure with
plastic flamingos resting by the palm trees. It may sound tacky, but it wasn’t –
it was just Vegas being Vegas. . <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

at 21, who hasn’t traveled much, Las Vegas seem to have it all - the casinos,
clubs, shows, downtown Vegas, continental breakfast comps, sightseeing,
nightlife and celebrities. And we saw many - Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Joey
Heatherton, Bill Crosby, Manhattan Transfer, Sandler & Young, with some of
their autographs. Dean Martin even talked to me from the stage at the MGM Grand
to our front row seats and I received autograph 8 x 10 glossy. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

from our father teaching us poker as children, Teresa and I grew close bonding
in this adult Disney Land. Although we were two young women alone we didn’t hesitate
to walk downtown night or day. All goods thing come to an end, as the week
vacation was soon over. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

be over for the people on board. To overcome leaving Vegas, Teresa and I planned
our fantasy return to move to Las Vegas. We planned to work there as Blackjack
Dealer for Teresa and Casino Cocktail Girl for me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Airport meeting our parents to go home –the dream was over. We awoke returning
to the normal routine. And Teresa and I resumed our past relationship we had
before we left. Alas, the closeness Teresa and I shared was over when the
vacation was. </span></span></div>

veterans. Veterans served us, now is the day to serve them. <br />

We gave witness to the heroic feat of courage of the military fortitude in war,
as we empathize with the maimed and mourn the dead. The time for the fictional
hero quite suddenly becomes real by the glorified heroic feats of the brave
soldiers among the gore, fatality and sacrifice plagued in war. <br />
<br />
We shouldn’t need a day for what we should feel all year through – patriotism.
Do not forget the true meaning of the day. United peacefully by the irony of
past or current wars, it is time to give back to all veterans.</span> </span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></span></div>
