Nancy Jo

Nice to read your memorable story on your special grandmother (Ziti Maria to me)

I recall my Dad taking me to Hedge Avenue back in the 1960’s to visit his cousins and we would sit on porch or run around the house

Best to you and entire family

Nancy Jo I just loved this story. That same scenario took place in my mother's kitchen growing up. Your grandmother was such a sweet lady always with a smile on her face. I remember fondly taking my grandmother to Norwich to visit your grandmother. Your grandmother made an Italian meatloaf for our family when my Dad passed away. That was 35 years ago and I still remember how GOOD it was. Would love that recipe if you have it.
