Meet Sasha

Posted on May 11, 2015July 28, 2015 by Martha

A huge thank you to everyone for your birthday wishes. We had a wonderful girls night out and many karaoke songs were enthusiastically (if not perfectly) sung. My daughter, Emily, is an expert at event organizing, and I look forward every year to what has become a birthday tradition. Then, on Sunday, we had another…

Marjorie Louise Dellasega (1912-1995)

Posted on October 20, 2012July 28, 2015 by Martha

Tonight we are raising our glasses to toast my mother, Marjorie, on the 100th anniversary of her birth.  She was the youngest of four, and the only girl.  As a child, she always wore these gigantic bows in her hair, and I think her closest aged brother, Bill, must has added the ribbons to her…

PFC Lawrence Anthony Dellasega

Posted on November 11, 2011July 28, 2015 by Martha

My father was a rifleman in WWII, serving as a scout in Company B of the 395th Infantry.  He had been in a reserve unit, and was not called up until April of 1944, because he was older (33) and the father of two small children (my older sisters, Jean Ann and Sally).  He was…

Wedding — Mosaic Cookie Table

Posted on October 16, 2011July 28, 2015 by Martha

Emily and Aaron decided to serve Molly Moon’s ice cream for dessert instead of a cake or cupcakes.  The ice cream turned out to be a good choice, since it was a very warm day.  Fortunately, the Georgetown Ballroom is conveniently set up for food vendor trucks since they can just drive right into the…

The Village Cat Monster

Posted on December 18, 2010July 28, 2015 by Martha

The poor villagers are being terrorized by the Elvis monster. He sleeps in their streets, pushes their houses about, and knocks over any residents who are brave enough to step outside. I have allowed this devastation to continue, hoping the monster will be content harassing the villagers instead of attacking the Christmas tree.

Meet Elvis

Posted on June 13, 2010July 28, 2015 by Martha

For my birthday my son, Elliott, gave me a certificate for a kitten from the Humane Society. Business was brisk last Saturday when we stopped by — tons of people adopting pets, which was nice to see. There was only one very small kitten left, and we managed to fill out the paperwork quickly in…

My Favorite Christmas Ornaments

Posted on December 21, 2009July 28, 2015 by Martha

My mother made these ornaments for us when Elliott and Emily were in elementary school. It was a happy coincidence that they match our Christmas stockings which were made years earlier. My mother was obviously attracted to these Charles Ross designs, just as I was. Mother was self taught in all kinds of needlework, and…

My First Apartment

Posted on November 5, 2009July 28, 2015 by Martha

I found another photo where you can just see Bette rocking out to one of my records — probably The Beatles or The Who. Here’s a photo of my bedroom. My sister and I went crazy with this funky stick-on-furniture — I had a stick-on headboard, picture frame — even a stick-on gumball machine. You…
