I am so touched that it touched you, Eva. I think we often find ourselves in each other's stories, and isn't that so beautiful? Thank you for staying with me all the way on this one.

Laura, What a wonderful experience listening to Once Upon a Bakery. I cried, I laughed, I remembered!!! I loved our time on the 4th Block, I loved your bakery, I loved you, Bill and the kids. My one memory and Aha that I share over and over is: T was speaking both French and English. She showed me her beautiful new blue suede shoes and the way she said it in french was priceless. I asked her to say " my blue suede shoes in french" She said " my blue suede shoes in french" I laughed so hard, well not in front of her. I realized that she expressed herself and had no idea between french and english, she was probably 3 or 4, she just spoke.

Thank you for the THREE wonderful cakes,because I could not make up my mind) for our wedding reception. Thank you for being a part of history that we share. You did an marvelous job at telling the story. Is there a way I can have these to listen to again and again???

Diane, thank you for now and thank you for then. What a great little vignette you add. It was a big chapter of our lives. I remember Dan coming in after dropping Chelsea off at Kindergarten the first time. He was teary eyed and I fed him a croissant or god knows what.

And the story stays on Spotify so you can listen whenever you want to.

Eventually I will do something else with it but for now there IT IS!
