I never post here, so it's like my private blog. I'm missing my Mom this weekend. I never know exactly why I'm going to miss here. I was watching a ball game and they mentioned they would have a special game where people would be encouraged to bring their knitting or crochetting. Mom loved baseball and she loved to knit and crochet, how much she would have loved that, not that she got to many professional games, I think the one time my uncle Mike (one of her half brothers) took her to a Red Sox game at Fenway may have been the only time she go to go to a game and this was the woman who had kept the box score for ever word series game from 1947 until her stroke a couple of years ago.

And then I was reading Elizabeth D'Onofrio's blog about visiting NYC with her mom, I was so jealous. My Mom was from NYC, born in manhattan, so was given up to the Catholic charities during the depression and spent 8 years upstate across from West Point at Mother Cabrini's Home for Girl, then she cam back and Went to school at St Partrick's Cathedral High School while living in a convent. She became a nurse at St Vincent's hospital and one of her first patients at Sloan Kettering Memorial was Babe Ruth. he like dher so much he gave her this huge picture of him hitting his record homerun, it was always in our home.

Well anyway I'm missing Mom
