Good Morning Everyone !!!!!
you are so right Jeanette the kids of today really do not dress for the holiday like we use to do I can remember my Mother taking me downtown to Buddy Lee's for a new suit & then to A & S for shoes, Shirt & Tie. Even when I reached my late teens I use to shop on 5th Ave. & 18th Street a store name Chuck & Charles who was owned by a good friend on mine in those day Mr. Johny Demma (better known as Johnny D)

Today if you mention A & S to the kids they associate it to the pork store (LOL)
but the times have changed although I still try to get my Grandchildren to dress at least to go to mass & even Easter sunday mass use to have alter boys now these days my own Granddaughter is an alter server. No big deal we can change with the times also.

Terry I am very sorry to hear about the motor cycle accident, my prayers will be offered to their Family

Thanks Fred I do not know the people but I feel so sorry for the poor wife and so sad she lost her son too. Sometimes I wish i was not so sensitive it just pains my heart for people who have to go through this. I told my son not to forget to make an effort and go see her, He said the four boys will gather some money (maybe their bar tab for one weekend. LOL) and go over and give her an envelope and sit with her. I am proud I raised my son that way to think of doing something like that.... I went to Novena and prayed for everyone and still kept u on my prayer list at communion....Love ya

Terry.....you're so generous to always be thinking and praying for everyone.....Love ya......

Suzie, loved the pic of Nicole and Samantha, sooooo cute.
Hi Judy and Festina, hope your moms are doing well!!

Judy, it's very damp here with drizzle, it might hit 62. no sun today but we'll be hitting the 80's by the end of the week, can't wait.

I enjoy seeing the little ones dressed up for Easter. When I was younger, my grandma gave me a shiny white pocketbook with a little round mirrow attached and it tucked into a pocket and while I kept playing with it in church --- I looked up and over and there was Sister Agnes Joseph ready to take it away from me, wow, some things we never forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back then, it was 9 am mass and the nuns sat in back of each class.

GOOD AFTERNOON ALL

HOWS YOUR DAY GOING SO FAR EVEN THOUGH ITS RAINING

I AM DOING OK TODAY THANK GOD

All I can say is WOW!!!! The kindness of your hearts never ceases to amaze me. We received a package today and when Suzy and I opened it we found a beautiful basket filled with goodies and most of all Love. It is so beautiful. On this gloomy & rainy day we were remembering mom and feeling a bit sad about her passing. You all brought us some sunshine with your incredible gesture of generosity & kindness. My two boys always loved coming to Brooklyn to visit Grandma and play on the block. They always said they wish they had grown up there. Well they were both home when we opened the box. At first we could not tell who it was from. When we found the card inside and told them, Michael, the older of the two said, "boy dad you really grew up around some very special people". You are all "Very Special People" and on behalf of the Sanchez Family I would like to Thank You From the Bottom of Our Hearts. Again WOW!!!!

Finally u got it....
Yes in that box was more love than goodies.
My heart is jumping with joy cause I love to see people happy and always love to share all of our love from this blog.
Like u Danny not one person ever says no i get the money in the mail as soon as I email this great group of people...
i know alot of our family on here do not have much and really can not even afford a few bucks but they always send it no matter what.. That's the park slope in us...
