I’m sitting here finishing off my holiday cards. I usually make two sets: one for Chanukah and all my Jewish friends and one for everyone else. I like writing cards. Kinda feels like the olden days when people didn’t have cell phones or computers. It makes people feel special to get letters and cards in…
After we finished our Christmas shopping, I took Grandma for brunch at the country club. They had all kinds of yummy food: French toast, made to order omelettes, cheesecake, sausages… Apparently Grandma loves sausage. She even talked to Santa for a few minutes and he gave her a candy cane. After I dropped her off…
I took Grandma out shopping for Christmas presents today. She gets tired very easily these days. She hadn’t had a chance to get anything yet and the stores were pretty picked over.

Another Bat Mitzvah today. HUGE party! So many people. Country Club food and a ginormous dance floor. We just had to dance. I got out there a few times. I still need to learn this dance. Do you know it? Would you teach me?

This is going to be fast. I took today off and went to urgent care. I ended up having a double ear infection, I do plan to go to work tomorrow. I’ll just have to explain to kids to speak up a bit. So, I’m sitting here watching Dr. Phil. And as always, his common…
The weather is finally getting windy and cold. Hopefully it will snow before Christmas. I hope you know that I continue to be here spreading good cheer and smiles. It doesn’t matter how often you visit. I’ll continue to write. When this is all over, I will have THOUSANDS of posts to prove that I…
