I, too, have such vivid and warm memories of Easter. And, mass at Unsere Liebe Frau zu den Schotten just didn't hold a candle. ...trotzdem, frohe Ostern!! Wunsch-D P.S. My younger brother's name is Dino...any idea why Deno, your renowned chocolatier, spells his so? <strong><em>Hah, my best guess? One of those things about not really abiding by the correct spellings of names way back in the day. I'm thinking that although "Dino" in Italian is clearly DEE-no, in English, it could be argued, it'd be "DIE-no" as in "asour" ;) Glad you found this post and enjoyed :) Sognatrice,

Hah, my best guess? One of those things about not really abiding by the correct spellings of names way back in the day. I’m thinking that although “Dino” in Italian is clearly DEE-no, in English, it could be argued, it’d be “DIE-no” as in “asour” ;)

Not that I'm counting...but as I look at my Italian wall clock, (the one with the cursive "M" on it), I now notice that in less than 3 days, (70 hours, 44 minutes), with my Hall & Oates-powered iPod in tow...I will have just begun my journey to visit an old friend! :)<br/><br/>See you soon!<br/><br/>JT WOW…I didn’t realize that Langis’ was still open in the 90’s.

Not from the same place of course but I'm sure they were very similar to the ones you got! They don't make anything good like they used too. I had forgotten about these, thanks for reminding me!

I still have fond memories a diner across the street from my high school, where the owner, who'd been there for about 30 years at that time, would toss scoops of ice cream in the air behind his back and catch them on cones or in milkshake cups. His cheeseburgers were just <i>awful</i>, but he could really put on a show. It’s sad when those places disappear, isn’t it?

Your description of the local restaurant is eerie. Ours was called Chacona's and it was a Saturday afternoon tradition for coke and fries every weekend for myself and my high school girl friends. That is - after a stop at Newberry's to check out the latest clothes and cosmetics. Thanks for the flashback !
