Well, yesterday was Memorial Day and I have been remembering all sorts of little things like the time Jimmy "camped out" in his Uncle Russ's back yard with his little cousin Russ & Uncle Russ. He must have been all of maybe 7 and his "Unc" pitched the tent under a pine tree about 40 feet from the back of the house. The three of them settled in and I just couldn't help sneaking out around 11:30 or so to give them a scare. After scratching at the tent and making animal noises for about 15 minutes there was a sudden blur across the back yard in the form of one Jimmy Amato with his cousin bringing up the rear. It was so funny hiding behind that tree, trying not to laugh and listening to their explanation of what was "out there" and "could it eat them!". Uncle Russ and I sat under that very pine tree by a fire just last night and laughed, remembered and paid tribute to our sweet nephew. Jimmy, so many of us love you, miss you and think of you each and every day!! Each day brings a new memory and another smile....

"If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden."

Jim was probably trying to get "chauky milk" or Chocolate milk from the fridge 

Little Jim :-) 

Werewolf

This is what Jim looked like when he got home from South Carolina. I remember he came to my house, and his hair was long and kind of orange. And he had this goatee that was long, and really kinda gross! He ran into my house with his hair standing on end (he had his head out the window while driving from Meadville to Erie) and tackled me! He looked like a werewolf!

Posting Blogs by Email to Remembering Jimmy

Hi!,

After playing with this site for the last 2 months, I have figured out the easiest way for everyone to post their own blogs to the site. Simply type up whatever you want to say, and send it as an email to the following address:

lclimano.rememeberingjimmy@blogger.com

A picture can be sent if it is copied and pasted in the text of the email message. Currently, I do not believe that attachments will go through.

Then just send the email to that address it will automatically post to the site!! I think it is pretty cool! The post below I emailed from my yahoo account. So hopefully everyone will be able to try it out! Thanks guys!!!
