The California Moralitos just came back to the Mile High City , from California, less than two weeks ago, and we had them and the Suegros (Greg & Amy)over for Joe & Josh's Weekly "Make Your Own Calzone Day".

Greg & Joey making sure they stop and "smell the calzones".

What's the white stuff?

Almost all packed up to move back to Colorado. Looking through some old photos - I'm starting to think we may have a rough adjustment from the California weather! Here are some OOOOOLLLLLDDDD photos I dug up from winters long ago...

Looks like fun!

Hello Family,

Once again this year, we had family and friends over for a BBQ on the 4th of July. Burgers, beer, hotdogs, sparklers, Joe Sr.'s wonderful chocolate cake, Susan's beautiful singing and guitar playing, a cousin from visiting from Italy, a "brand new" US citizen, all in the backyard under a stary sky filled with fireworks in the distance.......it was a wonderful evening.....and the perfect way to celebrate the birthday of this great country with loved ones. We are so fortunate!!!!!!!!

Love to all,

Greg and Amy
