I have such fond memories of all of the family, from chickens with Grandma Bruening to pigs on the Pinello farm and Banjo the horse. I'm glad to have been able to spend so much time with this family, fish packing and traveling.

In November of 2001, I hosted a trip with my radio listeners to Branson. We had all gotten aboard the bus to take us to the hotel and the bus driver started to call names. I then heard "Pinello?" and two hands went up--it was Harry and Fifi! I had no idea they had signed up. What a pleasant surprise it was and we had a great week in Branson together! That wasn't the end of it. In 2003, we took a cruise to the Panama Canal. Fifi called me at my radio station and she told me she was going. With excitement, I asked what made her decide to go. Fifi said, "Well, you wouldn't shut up about it on the radio so I'm going." What an awesome lady. We love Aunt Fifi and Uncle Harry!
