The toaster

-
My cousin and her husband are celebrating their 55th anniversary today.

And when I wished her a happy anniversary, she told me that she made toast in the famous toaster this morning,

The toaster is 55 years old.  It was a bridal shower gift from my mom and my aunt.

May they continue to enjoy that toaster for many years to come.

    An old fashioned toaster. Needless to say I remember my Mom's old toaster and how I wish I had it. They made them good in those days! Perhaps 25 years ago we were given a waffle iron my mother in law had for many, many years. Made waffles for my then young son for several years - loved it. Then it sat neglected. During the pandemic husband cleaned out our kitchen closets while I was working from home, and he found it. Wiring is shot. Going to see if my son, who is an adult now and quite handy, wants it. Yes, may your cousin celebrate many anniversaries to come with that toaster! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Trying to think how many wedding gifts we still have after 58 years. I came up with: one small bowl, from a set of 4 nested bowls. (I'm hard on breakables.)

    55 years ago, things were made to last. That goes for marriages, too. Happy anniversary to them.

    Wow, that's impressive. I'm surprised it hasn't died before now, but it's probably well taken care of.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
