Stolen from Daily Good





1) What teacher are you most thankful for and why?  What 

did you learn from him or her?

10th grade Social Studies -- European History.  Mr. S had us conduct the trial of Napoleon Bonaparte

 for crimes  against the people of France. And I was one of the defense attorneys.  Shades of future 

career?  Well, all theseyears later, I am an attorney...


2) What’s the season you’re most thankful for, and what’s your favorite part of each season?

I am thankful for the change of seasons, because each season brings its own special times.  Well,

except for winter, I could do without the cold and the snow.

3) What electronic device are you most grateful for, and what does it add to your life?

My Ipad.

4) What musician or type of music are you most thankful for?

Please don't ask me to choose.

5) What are you most grateful for that brings beauty to your daily life?

I have artificial flowers in a vase on my kitchen table.

6) What philanthropic cause or organization do you feel thankful for?

The American Cancer Society.  They helped me so much when I was sick back in 2005.

7) What foods are you most thankful for?

I am thankful I get to eat a variety of foods from many different cuisines.

8) What local store or restaurant are you most grateful for?  How does it contribute to your quality of life?

There's a kosher-style deli in the neighborhood.  He makes a lot of Jewish delicacies.  The foods my

 grandmother used to cook.  Sweet memories in every bite.

9) What book are you most grateful for, and why?

So many books...I can't pick just one.

10) What act of kindness has made the greatest difference in your life?

I will have to think about that...

11) What challenging experience has ended up changing your life for the better?

I'd say surviving cancer changes your whole perspective on life.

12) What vacation are you most grateful for?

The one I am planning.  Seriously, that's the answer.  The anticipation is wonderful.

Right now we are planning a Caribbean cruise for December 2022.

13) Name three days in your life that you feel especially grateful for.

I am grateful I am alive every single day.   But if I have to choose three days...the day I married Drew, 

even though we ended up divorced and then reconciled.  The day Jen was born.  The day 

Becca was born.

14) What product do you use on a daily basis that you most appreciate?

My coffee pot and Dunkin' K Cups.

15) What, from this year, do you feel most grateful for?

Pfizer and its wonderful, pandemic-fighting vaccine.

    I really hate winter but I tried to find the one thing that doesn't make me miserable. ;)

    Isn't it wonderful to have a vaccine for Covid? Surviving illness does change your perspective. How can it not?

    I had the Moderna vaccine, but I am glad I got vaccinated. My husband did not get vaccinated and a couple of weeks ago, he got covid. My son and I did not because we were vaccinated. It seems I hear all of the stories about the vaccinated getting covid, but not the ones that were spared. I need to get the booster now. Loved your answers. Have a nice day!

    I love your last answer - Moderna for me. I didn't even think of that when I was answering the questions. Good answers!

    There is a deli called Canters in Los Angeles that we have been to a few times and they have great food and desserts. I always get the Matza Ball soup. We got the Moderna and am thankful for that. It lets us be around our grands without the fear of getting really sick.

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
