Denise your Columbus bakery story is great and where were you when my boys were complaining about not finding it on Christmas Day? Happy you had a great holiday, and yes, David is very special and ABC is lucky to have him. I’m sure big things await him down the road. Heck, it took Diane Sawyer till the age of 64 to get the job she wanted. I don’t think we’ll wait that long for our David.

Maureen:
Christmas is so special and it sounds like yours was as well.
I’m laughing because coming from Cortland I thought my sister, cousins and I were the only ones that had trouble find Columbus Bakery. My little Italian grandmother would always ask us to stop there on the way home from the malls. By golly wouldn’t we always get lost driving around and around!

Sorry for lateness….the crowds just dispersed. Christmas is just the most wonderful time isn’t it? Lots of Wii, lots of DSI, lots of food, lots of wine, an abundance of laughter, desserts too plentiful, plus a counter that looked suspiciously like yours. And the best part of this gaggle of souls is that they really all do get along wonderfully. And now…it’s snowflakes that fall on my nose and eyelashes…these are a few of my favorite things. A Christmas that lasts for days. Perfect.

Merry Christmas Carol,
You’ve had a bittersweet holiday. I’m glad for your tidings, sorry for the loss of your uncle. I’ve always believed death around Christmas brings a special kind of pain. I’ll say a prayer for your family tomorrow. On the other hand, it sounds like a lovely celebration in Rochester! Thanks for sharing your story.

Merry Christmas Maureen. It looks like a great time indeed. So good to see David Muir. He cetainly is busy at ABC. I have been in Rochester for 3 days. Children, grandchildren, brother and tons of cousins. We had a wonderful Christmas with delicious food, beautiful church service and just good family stories. Now on my way to a wake and funeral in Binghamton. My 89 year old uncle who had been ill, died peacefully on Christmas Eve while his wife and 2 daughters were at church. He was in hospice care with other family with him. My son is flying home from Colorado to be a pall bearer tomorrow. There will be bag pipes and a true celebration of a good Irish life. Thank you for sharing your Christmas story. Carol

Dearest Maureen,

Xmas was so memorable again this year thanks to you!

I am glad the 3 boys were around, it felt like family to me, I felt like an “unrelated by blood – related by love and affection aunt”.

Thank David again for his visit, he is so dear, I love him.

These moments are priceless, I am blessed to have you in my life,

Yes “Maureen” there is a Santa!

Love,

Valerie
