Chanukah

I volunteered at Congregation Beth Yum to make 365 latkes. I do not like to make them. I do not fry foods. But could not say NO to friend Joan D. I was lucky to make my job drying pots and pans. And I also packed the pans with the latkes and counted them. They are for the Chanukah dinner at the temple. And the Sunday school party where Jack and I volunteered. I helped the kids decorate cookies and make dradels out of a marshmallow, Hershey kiss and a pretzel stick.










We had about 10 cooks all telling how they make their Latkes. We made 375 latkes and used 50 pounds of potatoes.


The G grands came up from FL to celebrate with the kids. These four kids all --have winter birthdays therefore a group birthday cake.
Holden, Lila, Jonah, Adley.


Adley and Emma both got this book written by Beth Ostrofsky Stern. She is Eve's high school friend and now married to the famous Howard Stern. Beth rescues cats and finds homes for them. She also is so beautiful and nice.


Thea and Richard Heimlech and Jack and I drove to Charleston SC for a day and dinner. We walked the Battery and went to Trader Joes's for shopping. This is a big one and such fun to shop at. I bought nuts and dried fruits. I love the shampoo and conditioner that is their brand. Store was very busy.
They have the bet flowers and plants, which I did not purchase.





I hosted the Chanukah party for the Cycle Babbles bike club. 22 people, a gift exchange, and great food. Everyone brought a special food and we bought Publix fried chicken which is the best.



This house is the perfect entertaining one. Big room so everyone can be together.

Sheri Farbstein and Howard Rothchild. Gordan F died last Feb. Howard is Sheri's ex-husband from 43 years ago. His wife died from cancer also, about 6 years ago. They are now together. Sheri says Gordan liked Howard and would be happy and approve of her being with him. They can now phone the kids together from one house when they are together in the same city. This is such a nice story.

Maxine always wears purple. So we though she would look perfect on our purple sofa.


Here are most of the bikers. We also have the people that do not bike and are called, Eaters. We also have three dogs that often join us in baskets on the front of a bike. This is Sassy, the Levin dog.

I went to the gym for an 8:00 class. There were 6 of us. Then the 9:00 class had 20 people in it. I remember when I was the younger woman in classes. I was 30-40 years older than everyone in the 8:00 class. I am behind the record, speakers with the while hair, taking the picture. I am thrilled to be able to keep up with these women in classes. But how did I get to be so OLD. I remember looking at the people,in the Silver Sneakers classes and thinking how old they were and that I was never going to be in the class. Well, I now have a Silver Sneakers Membership but I exercise with the people in good healthy shape.
