Nicoletti

Luigi Nicoletti and Marietta Nicoletti my Maternal Grandparents

Well of course I may be a little bit biased, but Marietta Nicoletti was perhaps the best grandmother ever.  She had 11 children and 23 grandchildren.  She loved having all her grandchildren around, and didn’t mind having a bit of pasta now and then.   I’ll always remember playing cards with her and having to take out the 8’s 9’s and 10’s first.  The fun times in the yard for her birthday and Mother’s day.

I don’t remember too much about my grandfather Luigi as he passed when I was only about 9 or 10.  I do remember him playing bocce, making his own wine and occasionally having a glass or two.
