Hello friends,
It would be wonderful if we could have gone to the Loews, to see the movie. but i "doubt" it, if it will be showing there the 1st week. I would love to get together, with a bunch of people to see the movie. How i spent hours in Murray's with my mom. Almost as much as in her favorite material store, Cameo Fabric on Westchester ave. She must have done 50% of her Christmas shopping, in Murray's . As well as buying other items, all year long. I always wondered what their storeroom looked like. If we are going to "wish" about where to go, i have a request to add to the list. Can we stop at Minnie's to get candy? Or maybe stop at our all time favorite deli? so i can get "Sweet-Sixteen" doughnuts.
The Riggio-Ferrier family did our annual "Christmas Decorating", last Saturday. I unwrapped, a few very special Christmas candles, I inherited from my mom. I have 4 choir singers & Santa. They are as tall as my thumb. I think i bought them, when I was 6, for 15 cents, each. (the price is still on Santa's feet) I know all of you remember what kind of candles, I am talking about. They were always on the glass (enclosed) shelf at the deli, on Taylor Ave. The shelf, which we would lean on, while we waited to be served. I received The "Vermount Country Store" catalog. They are selling replicas for $9.99 per set.
