@shoelady60,

Good evening just checking in and leaving you something you will need later. ✨😎

Enjoy your evening I am fine. ✨😎

@71flowerchild,

Thank you for your post what I did not say was both Aunts were in the same hospital
when my aunt was laid to rest a few days ago they would not let the family visit the aunt
that past last evening. This was because of Covid in Tennessee. So sad but they lived
great lives a part of them will live in me. These women were not to be played with they
dressed and were ladies. 😎✨I will miss them to the end of days I learned how to cook
from them and how to be a tough cookie too. 😜

Flower it also hurts like..I will live it at that. I am doing alright. ✨

Thank you for your sentiments on the holiest of our Holidays. As I am writing his I have the television on for the evening service which is absolutely beautiful. Again, there is no congregation but in these times we do what we can and make do with what we have. The service can also be seen on the Internet. This is the time we ask for forgiveness for our sins and transgressions and ask G-d to enter us in the Book of Life for another year. The service is done in both Hebrew and English.

Oh Sheba, I am saddened to hear of your other Aunt’s passing. I couldn’t believe what I read at first. My condolences to you and your family.
Sending hugs and prayers to you Sheba. 🙏🌹❤️

You brought back memories of my grandma who made chicken soup every Friday for our Sabbath. It was a ritual with me to be there on Fridays just to enjoy the flavor of her cooking and to be there with her when grandpa would leave the house and go across the street to join a small congregation for services. After I became a married lady and would stop at the house she would ask if I was a good cook. I had to tell her the truth that I was horrible. Cooking was not my forte. And she would smile and say, “someday, when you least expect it, you will be a better cook than me.” Of course I can attest to the fact that it still hasn’t happened. But, at least I can smile at the mistakes and can do whatever. I am positive that your chicken soup may not be the same but at least you try. In some respects it may be better and healthier. My grandmother used to add the feet of the chicken to the soup and remove them before serving. I do not do that part. I also use an electric stove and oven in Florida while at the Cape house I use gas. Believe me when I tell you there is a big taste in the gas over the electric. It also takes less time to cook. I’ll never forget the time I made a beef stew for the first time. It said to add a clove of garlic. At that time I thought a clove was the entire bulb. No wonder I had to throw it out. At the time I cried. Today I laugh. Go figure.

I am so sorry to hear of your aunt’s passing. So many times in life we hear of illnesses and never suspect that a life will be taken. It doesn’t matter what age the person was because death comes in all forms in all age brackets. Even when we feel that death is imminent our heart and brain says differently. It is always a surprise and in most instances never expected. At least not yesterday, not today, not tomorrow. Sometime in the future., maybe. But not now. Think of the good times, the jokes, the times together, etc.. Right now, with everyone on this thread, we are surrounding you with love and hugs. You are not alone. I just want you to know that. I know you are very concerned with your Mom. I know you are there for her and wish you were beside her, in person, at times like this. Take care of yourself and your hubby along with Poppy and your kids. I wish there was a way for me to be at your door. I send you and your family our deepest sympathy and condolescences.

@oodiebom, G’mar chatima tova to you and your husband Oodie.  I hope you and your husband will have a meaningful fast. We had some rain last night and a very sunny hot day today. The temperature and humidity has been off the charts. I am ready for some fall-winter temperatures. I was reading your posts, and I am so glad that your husband is getting stronger and better with each day. My right knee give out on me the other day and I had to put my brace on while cooking and baking. Oodie, G’marchatimatova, take care.
