What a week!! Sorry for my absence! I have had a long, exhausting week filled with sickness!
The good news is, I found an AMAZING find on Craigslist Wednesday and I am -so- excited to share it with you all!! But not today. I don't have a good picture of it yet, and I had something even more exciting sitting in my inbox this morning when I got to work!
Wednesday I was browsing my family history, trying to find some thoughtful, meaningful gift for my dad for Father's Day. That didn't quite work out, but I found an interesting site that had information on pretty much everybody's family in the county on there. I had sent the person running the site to add myself and my siblings onto my parent's page to update it. The woman did so, but then emailed me these back:
Pictures of my great-great-Grandparents, Salvatore (Sam) and Teresa who immigrated here from Italy!
I have NEVER seen a picture of either of them, which is what makes this so special to me. Teresa looks so much like my Grandpa, who unfortunately passed away in 2007. I miss him terribly, but these pictures bring back some very special memories for me. (Love you and miss you Grandpa!! Love, Tilda)
I am going to send these pictures over to Walgreen's and put them in some frames for my dad for Father's Day. I couldn't have thought of a more perfect gift!
I hope you all have a wonderful Father's Day weekend - a special shout-out to my dad - LOVE YA!! :)
See you around,
WOW! what an awesome gift that will be - so thoughtful!
