Ramblings

 With India’s victory over the USA, Eisenhower Park’s hosting of cricket games is officially done.  I tried to avoid the neighborhood during the cricket matches, but I had to go there earlier this week because of a doctor’s appointment.  Traffic wasn’t too bad that day.  But I am glad to get my park back.

We put in an application for a rental house, and should hear back shortly.  Fingers crossed.

I may not have to buy shoes for the wedding.  I have a dressy pair of sandals, I have to see if they go with the dress.

The purple dress saga … finally heard back from the company, they canceled the order and will issue me a refund. Or so they said.  I’ll believe it when the money is in my hand.

Drew is frustrated.  He bought a tux, took it to his tailor … tailor said it’s too small, he has to exchange it …

    Do you go to that many functions that Drew needs a tuxedo? I always just rent mine...

      It’s for the wedding. He’s hard to fit and felt better about buying rather than renting.

    Good thing you got a "just in case" dress!

    Too bad about the dress. I know you were excited for it. But at least you had a back up plan. I hope your sandals work.

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 ...

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
