From this Side of the Pond

 1. As we begin this brand new month tell us, on a scale of 1-10, where does your life fall in terms of being in 'apple pie order'? Please elaborate. (1=nowhere near it, 10=practically perfect in every way) 

Things are a bit messy right now, so I will say my life is around a "5".

2. An apple a day keeps the doctor away...are you doing your part? Red or green? Sweet or tart? Ever played the game Apples to Apples? Do you like apple pie? If so, ala mode or just gimme the pie? 

I like apples but haven't been eating them lately.  I love Honey Crisps.  Yes, please to apple pie with either whipped cream or ice cream.

We had a group of friends who used to get to gether for game night, and of course we played Apples to Apples.  They've moved away, so we don't play anymore.

3. Tell us about a time recently where you 'upset the apple cart' or the last time someone 'upset your apple cart'?  

Sorry, can't think of anything recent. 

4. What are three words that come to mind when you think of September? 

Transitional, comfortable, mellow.

5. What are you most looking forward to this month? 

The Jewish holidays come early this year.  Later in the month we will go to the NY Renaissance Faire.  And we have a weekend planned upstate to celebrate a friend's birthday.

6. Insert your own random thought here.  

Facebook memories are fun, you get to see what you posted last year, the year before, etc.  But yesterday I saw a post from 11 years ago and I have no clue what I was talking about in that post, no memory whatsoever that I even posted it...

    Hey Robin,

    Sorry to hear life on your end is a bit messy. I hope things settle for you. It's not fun when things aren't in good working order. I think this month has the potential of being a bit strained for us. I have two appointments and possibly a third. Honey Crisps are good but I prefer Yellow Delicious if they are ripe. Thanks for dropping by today, dearie!

    We used to love to go to the Renaissance Fair (mostly I'm all about the food-ha!). We haven't been in years. Not sure they do one in this area. Hope life settles down for you soon.

    When did it get to be September? It was just June, with me thinking I'd actually get a summer vacation this year. Sigh.

    Enjoy the Renaissance Fair. I loved our local one, but I haven't been in years. (it's in May.)

    Love your 3 words....I love FB memories too. So fun, but also sometimes bittersweet.

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
