Father's Day, last weekend, went quite well. As always my parents & I partied with Uncle Frankie & kin from West Wyoming. Fran came up for the weekend & invited us over to his house for a nice big supper on Saturday & breakfast on Sunday morning. Recently my mother sent away to QVC for yet another cell phone so she & my father could have one available for when they go out. Because they really don't need a video camera or anything like that, I got theirs & they now have mine. I especially like the one I have because it takes very nice pictures & the video camera is quite an interesting perk. Recently all my St. Gabriel's friends & I got some extremely bad news. Our beloved school over in East Elmhurst, Queens, recently re~named the La Salle School at St. Gabriel's Parish, will be soon closing down. Our last reunion will be this coming Saturday, June 25. I really wish I could have attended but due to circumstances beyond my control there's no way I could possibly get there. That parish was always the single biggest, most important landmark of my childhood. A lot of my old St. Gabriel's friends have been joining Facebook lately. Last Saturday's Carmelite meeting went well. Sister Mary Robert was there. We needed her help with the installation of officers. We meet every third Saturday morning of the month at the Little Flower Manor in Wilkes~Barre at 9:00 a.m. & are always looking for new members. The weather's been exceptionally nice & warm lately. It rains quite a lot but we need the rain. There was an exceptionally violent rainstorm starting at around 4:00 a.m. this morning. My parents always want me to water their really nice flowers, that they got from Aunt Lauren's farm, but on days like this no extra water will be necessary. I've been reading a lot lately, especially poetry & Carmelite books. Two days ago was my cousin Larry's birthday so we all have to say happy birthday to him. June 18 was also Beatle Sir Paul's birthday. It's good to see he's still around.
