Ok…this will be a work in progress, but working on it nonetheless…
I was born in Manhattan, NY, in Beth Israel Hospital…to two of the best parents in the world. Although, my mother’s first words to me after being placed in her arms for the first time, “Oh, Melodia N. you are so ugly!” After seeing my baby picture I could understand. But you can be the judge of that.
I am a little sister to one of the very best big brothers EVER. He has taken care of me since I was brought home. There were times we drove each other crazy. Even times I thought I hated him for being so right about everything. But we were never allowed to stay angry at each other. We were always made to appologize and I believe that aided us in becoming such close friends. That and the fact that it didn’t hurt to have a big brother who not only let you tag along and make friends with his friends, but always had your back even when it came to mom and dad.
Our family moved to Puerto Rico from New York before I turned a year old. We were there long enough for me to celebrate a few birthdays…
Grandma/Grandpa Wilson: Oh boy, the ornament clusters brought back memories; I can remember Lonni and Jody doing the same thing. And of course, we too had to sneek around when they weren't watching and spread them out...lol. I'm sure as you continue the traditions at your house, they will have wonderful memories of them as they grow and then raise their own children...and the legacy continues! Have a wonderful Christmas, we absolutely wish we could be there, but alas, we do love snow---only from a distance this days. TV, mountain tops viewed from our valley, and lots of your "snow" pictures are
Melodia Wilson: Thankfully, no one had to give up a Lazy boy. Amazing but true, we were able to keep all three chairs and the kiddie table in the living room! LOL! It's a tight fit, but we managed. Hehehe.
ang: The tree looks great with only one thing missing - snowflakes! FYI: Born and raised in snowbelt country and there is no beating the true Lake Effect machine. Try sitting by Lake Erie watching the clouds roll in and the snow blanket all around you---that is a true WNY experience. We know it can snow any time even after a 70 degree day in mid March! Glad to see the kids enjoy the snow it is a true icon of this region try out the huge hills at Jamestown Community College--when they are about 10! As an adult it was
Lala: Mel you outdid yourself! Great job!
Lonni Wilson: C'mon, that candy thing isn't all me. Besides, that's how I was raised... my dad was a connoisseur of candy. Oh, and understand someone, I was buying bulk candy in junior high and taking it to school in a tupperware box in my backpack... yeah, a regular "candy man" and I loved it! So c'mon, jokes all around about the candy guy.
