Keeping in Touch

Hello Cousin!

It's been a while, so here is a new Post. Also note I decided to add the Curtice side of the family to this blog. Welcome Curtice cousins; look forward to hearing from you.

I trust everyone is well, despite the ravages of age (I think I need to get my torn meniscus fixed soon, it's hampering my tennis and golf game). Gerry and I enjoyed our recent trip to Hilton Head (great golf) with side visits to Savannah and Charleston. Our next sojourn will be in September to Sedona and Scottsdale (more golf!).

As you can see, grandson Nathan is now eight months old and a chubby, healthy boy. He will be going on his first flight with parents Scott and Julie next week to Florida for a short vacation.

Corrie just turned 40 and is off to Rome with her mom for a few days of sightseeing. She's doing well as an environmental researcher at the Duke U. Marine Lab in Beaufort, N.C. Of course she misses her nephew

Lot's of changes at John's: he retired (mostly) and is selling the house in Albany. He and Kathy will spend winter in Florida and then decide where to settle in the warm months; his dream is to get a boat large enough to live on up North somewhere. And Jen and Ben have decided to move from snowy Buffalo to warm(er) Raleigh area sometime in August. We wish them well and look forward to visiting once they are settled.

Keep well, and love to hear from you.

Mosolino/Curtice Florida Fest - 2010

On Wednesday February 4, 2010, some cousins gathered in the (not so) warm Florida weather for a delightful repast at the cottage rented by Corrie and her mom Joan for part of January and February on Siesta Key, near Sarasota. In addition to the locals: Ken and Edith, Michael and Pam, we were joined by John and Kathy's daughter Jennifer (who took this great group photo), her husband Ben, and son Eric.

Aunt Pat and Uncle Lou drove over from their condo in Delray Beach to join us. Everyone brought some food (great sausage and peppers from Edith, wonderful ruggalah from Pat, and special liverwurst that John got at the local butcher). Gerry and I enjoyed the get-together so much we decided to do it again the following night and brought our friends Bob and Rose Silverio who had a great time with the family. Actually we had so much food left over from the first night we didn't need to get any more!

A great time was had by all - who knows maybe we will do it again next year.
