Getting a spring shower, memorial picnic update
                                             Boy we sure did get some rain this morning, didn't we?  Boy we sure do need it though.  It seems like when I am taking a walk or a drive with my mom it seems like all you are seeing are brown lawns everywhere.  It seems like Summer has come way too soon as far as that part.  In fact Mark  was teasing mom and telling her that we should all go outside and do a rain dance so that the it would rain LOL.  Well anyway as far as I know we got some and that's a start.  
                                                     Well anyway yesterday I told you that I was going to my family picnic and that I would update you about it.  So you know it went well but I think it was a mistake to go.  Yes I was still feeling under the weather but I desperately wanted to be there so I went.  For those of you who don't know our family is Italian and is very loud and of course is centered around food.  Of course when you are sick who wants to be around a bunch of loud talkers in a church hall but luckily it was nice so I was able to get out with Rachel and help her watch my younger cousins while they played on the park equipment.  
                                                 There were even enough swings for all of us to swing on the swing set together but unfortunately Rachel couldn't swing for long because Anthony wanted her to push him.  For the record Anthony is 5 and is going to start kindergarten next year.  So you know Rachel looks good.  She is due on August 23   Jeez I can't wait to find out what the baby is.  :)
                                           Well anyway after a while it was time to eat.  Each family brought their own meat and everyone brought a side.  For the record mom had brought the corn on the cob, and grandpa had brought steak for our immediate family.  There is so many people I can't remember what everyone brought but I will list some.  
                                             Cousin Kimmy: banana cream pies (Yummy) Even though yesterday it didn't taste so good to me :( 
                                              Cousin Frankie: pasta and sauce 
                                               grandma and grandpa: Chinese chicken salad for a side and of course the steaks 
                                           Cousin Colleen: potato salad
                                           Rachel : angel food cake
There was much more there, there was even an apple pie and doubled eggs but like I said I don't remember who brought it all.  Like I said I didn't eat that much because I was feeling poorly but it was a good time.  Well anyway as we were eating it had started to rain a little and everyone started cheering so I don't think there will be a need for us to do a rain dance or at least not yet and if they do I am not taking part in it LOL.  Well better go.  Lots of love.
