Hi, and thank you for choosing

Antonio’s today!

 I know it’s old news at this point, but as we’re still cleaning up toilet paper each and every day, it’s still the present for us. :D
 Thank you to all that participated in Cabbage Night. We blew away the old record with 1,728 rolls (aka 864,000 feet), of TP thrown. More importantly, we gathered well over a ton (literally) of non-perishable food for the Simsbury Food Pantry. It’s amazing all the good that comes out of this unique event in the form of joy & smiles on so many faces.

     As for the family, I once told my kids how I did mediocre on my first SAT test; even after immense preparation. I took my second test the night after a Grateful Dead concert. I figured I had blown it and was totally relaxed as I took the test the following morning… and I scored great! In yet another reminder to be careful what you preach; Katherine, our oldest, is in Florida with her best friend Sara, at a weekend long music festival; before she takes the LSAT next week. I hope she too can be relaxed and have excellent test results.

     Tommy, our middle child, was having a great year at URI. Well, he still is, but somehow, he got his finger stuck in a closing garage door and ended up at the ER. He’ll be okay and I’m pretty darn proud that he showed up for class
the very next morning.

     Johnny is also doing great at Bryant and proudly let us know he’s doing better than average with his midterms. I’m excited to see what “better than average” means. Maybe he’ll have a “better than average” holiday season.

     Lisa, my wife has begun painting again, after years of being too busy. Our good friend Carolyn Olivieri recently retired from being a elementary school art teacher.
It’s great to see her so energized. 

     Hazel, our blue heeler, successfully had her right kidney removed. We are anxiously awaiting the tests on if they got all of the cancer.

     At the house we’re at the point that the siding is going up on the outside and we’re picking out the flooring and paint colors for the inside. We’re hoping to be moving back home as the most incredible holiday present.

     Wow, already out of room! Thanks again for being here and supporting us. We appreciate it :)

Sincerely,
Steven and all of us here at Antonio’s
