There was no doubt in anyone's mind that Uncle Troy and Aunt Ella were crazy over you and Angie. I know they loved being with you. Uncle Troy "Mr. Pepsi" was a generous man, that's why he fit perfectly into the Tiezzi Family.
The memories I have of Aunt Ella go back futher .. when she was helping to run the New Bridge Villa. She opened up that dining room to the whole family on numerous occasions and we just had a ball being there. I remember that Karen and I used to stand at the grill in the kitchen frying dill pickle slices. Those were the only thing that Aunt Ella would let us touch out of the cooler. The catfish ready to fry, the big buckets of potato salad and cole slaw were "off limits". We thought those fried dill pickle slices were delicious and used to take orders, pretending we ran the place. Of course that only held our attention so long and either we got distracted or were kicked out after awhile and then we would head upstairs to Aunt Ella and Uncle Peanut's flat and would manage to get into more mischief than appreciated. Let's just say the one time we threw water balloons out the front windows on people passing by didn't go over very well with the more mature elders. I think it was Gary who got us into that trouble. Anyway, the New Bridge Villa was a GREAT place for the Tiezzi clan to hang out on a Sunday during the winter months.
