The Old North Church
Irony? Foreshadowing? Strange that the first addition from Steve and the kids was the famous Boston Old North Church. St Rose played in big role in our lives in 1994 with both John and Jessica at the parish school and active in the church. John was an Altar boy working with Father Thomas. I was a eucaristic minister and we were regularly attending mass. Certainly the church was an impressive addition to the little country store from Mom Stanford in 1991. Our village has a church and a store. They were placed on the foyer table together. The Old North Church was a Dept 56 house from the New England Village Series. But as it was a shopping trip for Steve with a young John, Jessica and Michael we weren't aware of the many series of villages that were being produced. Jump forward 20 years to 2014 as I am writing this and the significance of the Old North Church has finally hit me. We were visiting the REAL Old North Church just last week while we were in Boston at Jessica's for Thanksgiving.
