Tuesdays With Moisi

“Stay together, love each other.” This was one of our dear Pop’s encouragements to us all before he died. Our dear parents stayed together through thick and thin for 70 year before our mom died. Moisi practiced what he preached. This photo of Moisi and Nadia was taken at Julienne in San Marino.

A fun thing about Moisi was the fact that his checkbook always lived in the front pocket of his shirt with a pen ready.

I’m behind on my Tuesdays with Moisi posts and I still need to carry on with his history but I won’t beat myself up because Tuesdays come every week and sometime, Lord willing, I’ll carry on.

Moisi in the 50’s (lower left) at 4635 Oak Street, Pico Rivera. Moisi in the 60’s (upper left and lower right) 305 Los Angeles Ave, Montebello. Lower right is my graduation from Junior high. Upper left is crazy hat day for my high school cheer squad dinner at our house.  Moisi in the early 70’s (upper right) Arroyo Drive, La Mirada.

Our Master Bath renovation is just about done and I’ll share the before and afters soon. Have a great Tuesday y’all.

From our Pop’s (Moisi’s) favorite Psalm:

As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.

Psalm 103:13

Another Tuesday Dinner at Moisi and Nadia’s

Conversation between Moisi and Ellen b.

Moisi: “Hi Elyena (Russian for Ellen) you know what mom and me do?” (said with wonderful Russian accent)

Ellen b: “No Pop what did you do?” (plain old western U.S. accent)

Moisi: “We go to Rose Hills and make funeral arrangements.”

Ellen b: “Really?”

Moisi: “We choose Memorial Chapel not Sunrise Chapel.”

Ellen b: “Good choice Pop…”

So there you have it Moisi and Nadia are all set now. I’m sure this is a typical conversation y’all have with your folks, too. My parents not only have taken care of many funeral arrangements for friends and family, they have made their own arrangements so we don’t have to. They are something else…

On a lighter note here are some photos from the evening in Brea…

The four sisters who are off the hook in making the funeral arrangements…

 

Jackson the Great Grandson. (Michelle, I like how you’re looking up at Jack in this photo of a photo…)

Jack again (Hope you see these M. Lou!)

Michelle and Debbee (my nieces)

Oh and the menu… Pineapple Chicken with Basmati Rice, Seven Layer Green Salad, Chocolate Blintzes with Fresh Fruit and a Creme Anglaise drizzled poured on top.

Photobucket is holding hundreds of my photos hostage and that’s why you don’t see the original photos on this post.
