Signing Off

Kermit the Frog (as Bob Crachit in the Muppet Christmas Carol) says something like "Life is a series of beginnings and endings." Wise words.  I've decided to stop writing the Dalpiaz and Ryan family blogs and concentrate my efforts instead on the Gathering the Cousins blog.  The original intent of the blogs was to share family history discoveries that you readers could take at your own pace.  This is post # 470 and after seven years, it's time to move that forward to a more public forum, which is what the Gathering the Cousins blog is.  I hope you'll find time to read that.

In the meantime, here's one last little stroll down memory lane for you.

Thank you for reading and for your kind words (especially Paula!).  Merry Christmas to All and To All a Good Night. 

Christmas Classic from 1966

You'd think all this bad weather that kept me home these last couple of days would have meant I'd be right on top of the blogging.........but, not so much.  I did, however, break through a brick wall with regard to converting my digitized home movies into a format I can share here on the blog!!!!!  So, here's an appropriate one for this time of year.  It's also CLASSIC.  I think you'll enjoy the trip down memory lane.
