Merry Christmas
Amid opening all the presents and eating all the food Id just like to quickly send a note about the important stuff.
After being thankful for my familys health, I am so very grateful for the friendships I’ve made all due to this silly little blog.
It means the world.
Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate. Here’s to another year of community service and making more friendships. It’s worth more than any amount of money or gifts I could recieve.
thank you-

A few hours on the Hill From Thom Falzorano
Joey, With school being out and some restless boys at home my son Marcus and hid friend John convinced me to take them sledding, so here are a few shots of them at the hill. As I was sitting there watching and listening to the fun and laughter, I could only wish I was 12 years old all over again.

Last Minute Recipe Idea: Recipe Video of Good Morning Gloucester Holiday Cookie Contest Winner – Laurel Tarantino Snowball Cookies
This cookie recipe melts in your mouth and is easy to do. Laurel Tarantino entered her cookies called Snowballs in the first annual cookie contest that was organized by Laurie Lufkin. The contest was designed to find the best cookies around and support the Open Door Food Pantry this holiday season. The video features Laurie showing you with step-by-step instructions how you can make these yourself. These prize winners impressed the judges in all categories – including taste, appeal, appearance and overall appeal – so they are worth checking out.
