Palma's Place

The Family

So here are some photos of my family (just don't blame me for how the photos turned out, I specialize in landscapes, architecture, and nature photography).  As I said, no Capos, just the people I do my best to escape by going on vacation around the holidays.  :)  

Really, they put up with a fairly sarcastic sense of humor on my part (if you cannot tell), verbose opinions on the world at large, a boringly ardent sense that I could run the nation, some bad photography, and a needy dog.

First off is obviously the grandson my mom always wanted.  You think I am kidding, she gives him treats, Christmas presents, and holiday cards.  My mom's new house is his vacation retreat.

My mom and sister, the two people that yell at me the most.

My mom with uncle Jack, does not he look a little like Uncle Corrado "Junior"  from the Sopranos?

Here is a good chunk of the extended family from Christmas a few years ago, at least those who live locally.

The Marcipans, my aunt June, uncle Bob (a wild and crazy guy who taught me black jack at the tender age of something like 7 or 8- though it has not seemed to pay off in later years) my cousin Bill and his wife Celine

The other Palma family (or at least some of them, my other two cousins live out of the area), my uncle Jack and cousins Peggy and Ron

Mom with the new son-in-law Bob

Cousins Marilyn and Peggy

Uncle Bob boogying with Mom

Aunt June and her son Bill, she's happy he is in a suit, he's happy because he will get back in time to make a Raiders game.

At sis' wedding, my aunt June, uncle Bob, cousin Marilyn, cousin's wife Celine, and I am the debonair (Cary Grant type) on the right
