Celebrations

Dear Readers,

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. Our family of seven celebrated at Mom's house with baked ziti, meatballs, a mixed salad, cookies, cake and soda. My brother, Vinny, cooked the delicious food. It was a great family get-together.

Two days later, we celebrated Mom and Dad's 63rd Wedding Anniversary. Again, seven of us celebrated their good fortune.

Four days later, we celebrated Cousin Vincenzo's First Holy Communion at Juliano's in New Rochelle. It was a fantastic reunion of family, cousins, friends, aunts, uncles, and of course, children, many of them. Juliano's is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion---the atmosphere is nice, the place is immaculate, the food is very, very tasty and carefully prepared, and of course, the fruit platter, the cookies, and finally the cake were delicious. God bless Vincenzo, and his sister, Olivia, and their proud parents, Olimpia and Vincenzo.

The next holiday will be Memorial Day when my brother barbecues for the family.
I shall write about this holiday on my next post.

In the meantime, have your child visit the library and take out books he enjoys reading. Read aloud to them. Have them read silently. Discuss the book you are reading, together, the pictures, the colors. Always ask your child, "What do you think is going to happen next?" before turning the page.

God bless. Have a great week.

Sincerely,

Ravenous Reader, ( a. k. a.)  FRANKIE
