Here we are again, it’s December 3rd, 2011 and that only means one thing to our family. It’s Dad’s (my father’s) 91st birthday; YES, I said that correctly, it’s his 91st birthday and he is going strong. Now, we are a Polish family so we often call him Dzia Dzia which means grandfather, and Busia is Polish for Grandmother.
Now my Mother, or otherwise known as Busia, is 86 years old and in January, she’ll become 87; so together, they keep each other very happy and obviously their LOVE keeps them going and going and going . . .
They’ve found the secret to everlasting LOVE . . . !
I don’t know if you remember, but my father is a old-time musician who worked in music stores earlier in his life to not only be close to the music scene that he loved, but to help with the family finances and also bring homes wonderful musical gifts for my brother and me. I’ll never forget the awesome Fender Classic Series Mustang that he brought home along with a ‘65 Fender Princeton Reverb/Vintage Reissue amplifier.

I am very proud of this photo of me, my brother Tony and our Dad (Anthony Janicki, Sr. or otherwise known as ‘Dzia Dzia’). My brother is an extremely intelligent individual who during his high school years, played the keyboards in a band when The Beatles were the No. 1 rock group in the country. Now Tony and his wife Susan have a very successful environmental company located in St. Petersburg, Florida by the name of Janicki Environmental, Inc.
I don’t know if you remember Dzia Dzia’s short performance on his accordion that I published on YouTube and also on the following post;

Well today is definitely a very special for our family, so I’m going now to enjoy myself and my family. I hope you all have a wonderful day and find something special to do with your family, even if there are no birthdays or anniversary to celebrate. Time spent with the family means more than anything you’ll ever give or receive in gifts, so don’t waste any opportunity you get to spend time with them.
The Christmas Holidays are quickly approaching, so we all need to keep our hearts and our minds on our family and friends and all of those in need. If you remember to start and end each day with a short prayer for all of those in need, you’ll be surprised what miracles can occur.
As always, please remember to hug your children and tell them that you love them. Even if they don’t tell you, it means the world to them.
Until next time, keep jammin!
