Happy Birthday Papa

The cook in the kitchen is busy stirring the dinardaraan. What about the pinapaitan? Kurang sa itti pait na? Di kaman pasali-sali, inka la ag-tugtug itti piano. Cecil - punasan yo didiay lamesa.. Erich dagidiay aso - amangan naang-seg dayti lugar da.
Sounds like mama on a Saturday or Sunday morning. This day though is a special day isso nga medyo natagari isso na. It's Papa's birthday. She prepared her special dishes that papa enjoyed.
Papa would request that I play the piano. His favorite tunes? " My Soul's Lament" by Buencamino, Love and Devotion and Remember Me. Kantaen ni Mama pay no makapanunot or if she is in the mood. Otherwise, stay out of her way while she rules the kitchen.
How about dessert? Kayat mi amin itti chocolate cake. Kayat balet ni Papa itti crema de fruta from Red Ribbon. The birthday celebrant gets his wish.
Memories are made of these. Dios itti Agngina kaddatayo amin.

AJ's Poem when he was in Grade School

Lola Restituta Natino Rosete

I am passing this on to every descendant of Lola Iris. The picture came from Auntie Nieva & the letter was Auntie Nelia's. All I did was the technical aspect so to publish this. Please do not forget to double click the letter to enlarge this.

Restituta Natino Rosete

This picture came from Auntie Nieva Nano's collection. She posted this on her blogsite and I borrowed it to share it with the rest of the world.
Dakkel itti kaing-ingasan ni Lola Iris kadagitti apong, lola ken auntie whose Natino blood was pretty strong. Semblance of the Rosete women is pretty strong. Mingmingan nga nalaing ta makita itti younger images of the Lolas and Aunties.
Thank you Auntie Nieva. You have more pictures I intend to borrow.
