Happy Thanksgiving From Ya Aunt Frannie

Happy Thanksgivn my little fagolahs! It's ya Aunt Frannie babies!

I hope you are all having the best holiday possible and that whether you spend it with family, friends, or that special love you met on the hardware aisle at Home Depot, you know that you are loved.

Times may be hard this year, but they could always be worse....and I should know. I've lived through two world wars, the great depression and three false pregnancy scares when I was in college, so trust me on this. Yeah.

Uncle Frank is trying to get me to hurry up and get ready. The staff here at Shady Hills Retirement Villa is forcing us to attend their production of "Bye Bye Byrdie"....I think that's code for no turkey dinner.

Send Help!

We love you, have a great holiday! Bye!

Are You Kidding Me?

Lunch today: Fish sticks, fries, ketchup, chocolate milk and an apple.

Are you kidding me?

Half the people here don't have teeth and they give us AN APPLE??????

Uncle Frank got so upset he threw his at the Retirement Home Director. Luckily, Ed (the new guy with Tourettes) had an outburst and they blamed him instead.

I'm using my apple to make a potpourri.

Send help.

(and a gift card to Denny's please)

Giddy, Drunk & Gay

Hi Babees! It's ya Aunt Frannie honeees!

It's a brisk afternoon in Sunny Florida and your Uncle Frank and I have been going through a trunk of keepsakes sent by my ex sister Sherine.

You know your Aunt Frannie doesn't like to talk bad about anybody....except Michigan, so I won't bore you with all the details of why Sherine is my "ex" sibling.

However, it was very nice of her to send along some of the items from Mother's estate sale.

Inside I found a treasure! Yeaaaah!

The above photograph was taken June 23rd, 1957 after an especially scandalous evening out with Hetti Lamar, Bill Winchester, his 'cousin' Irene Malberg and on the far right do you know who that is my little fagolah??

That's right! It's ya Aunt Francine, all dolled up!! Oh my, I look so young don't I?

Hetti, Billy, Irene and your Uncle Frank & I were all having such a good time! We were giddy, drunk and gay. Wait...I don't mean gay like my little homo-lovelys, I mean 'gay' as in we were magically happy....so maybe that is like the 'gay' of today. I don't know. I do wish Uncle Frank could have been in the picture, but someone had to hold the kodak because they didn't have timers in those days. We had just been to the Rialto Movie Theatre in Lansing where we watched the initial screening of Witness For the Prosecution starring Leonard Vole, Marlene Dietrich and the dreamy Tyrone Power! Oh such fun we had!

Well anyway, I hope you enjoyed seeing your Aunt Francine during her younger days, and if my "EX" sister Sherine happens to be reading this blog, I want to thank her for the trunk, and remind her that I was always Mother's favorite!

Bye Babeeesss!!!! MUAH!
