Vort

Thanks All for Joining!

Pictures please

Hi ! It was great seeing everyone at the vort yesterday. Thanks Miriam and Scott for bringing the family together. I don't have any pictures on my camera, just some of the video of Scott talking- so can whoever took pictures put some up at some point, I would love to see them. Thanks and have a good shabbos!

the trip

I made it back safely and relatively quickly to Brooklyn and Queens. left at 6:30 and was in my apartment at 9:15pm. I looked at my atlas when I got home and Bensalem isn't even on it. I did find a place called Bristol where I was told to go when I asked for directions from a diner. I knew I didn't have to get on 95 from tere but he insisted that was the way to get to Bensalem (especially when he asked me where and I said Bristol Road) I looked online and if Iwould have stayed on Lincoln Highway I might have intersected with a Bristol Road. Waht Idid see of Bensalem is just a bunch of malls and store and office complexs.
Have a good shabbos everyone.

Mazal Tov

Wishing all the Sambergs a MAZAL TOV upon Miriam and Scott's engagement. Welcome to the family

Scottos Bakery

Do you remember Scottos Italian Bakery on 13th Ave and 39th Street? I remember the delicious aroma and beautiful array of pastries in the window and thinking too bad it is not Kosher. Well a client brought in a tray of Cookies from Scotto's bakery and not only is it under the Chaf K but it is also Pas Yisroel and pareve. Sorry, but it is produced on equipment that has tree nuts. What next on teh kosher front. Do you think they will ever have kosher pork rinds? (I hope not)

Bravo

It was great being at the concert. Aryeh was really great. What was even better was seeing how well loved and admired he is by everyone in the shul and community. Mom and Dad would be very proud of him and Adina for all that they do.

Malka and shidduchim

Now that I have everyones attention = ) I just wanted to update you with the going ons in our house. Shabbos afternoon , Malka banged her head on the bottom of the dining room table while playing. She had a gash above her eyebrow which was kinda deep , but it stopped bleeding after 10 minutes- so we weren't sure if she needed stitches. After shabbos, I talked to the pediatrician who suggested that we take her to the ER since she is a girl and its on her face and could affect her cosmetically if it didn't close properly. We were in the ER for about 2 hours, which wasn't so bad and Malka got 3 stitches. She was pretty brave for the most part, but of course screamed when they gave her a shot to numb it. So now she has to wear a bandaid on her head for the next 5 days until they take out the stitches. Baruch Hashem she is fine though and luckily Baruch - Yisroels brother was here for shabbos and was able to watch Yossi and Chana for a little after shabbos and then Miriam took over- which was very helpful. Hope everyone it doing well! May we only share good news! Also good luck Abba!

Mazel Tov!

Just wanted to everyone know that Lisa passed her "National Board" test. Not many people do that on their first try. It gives her edge over teachers when it comes to hiring, and if PG county finds the money, it also means a nice bonus for the next 10 years..
Good luck Aryeh.

Good Luck AbbA

Abba- Good Luck on Your Concert!
Sell A Lot of CD's!!
WIshin We Could Be There to See/HEAR you!!!

For My Next Trick...

Happy Birthday!

Today is Akiva Asher's six month birthday. To celebrate, he is going to take a nap!

Curves

I joined Curves agian this week. It is a different Curves as the one I belonged to years ago suddenly closed down a couple of weeks ago. This Curves is actually on my way home from work and parking is easy and it isn't crowded when I went. I actually met someone there who transferred from the other curves. Hopefully, I will lose many inches and fit into my clothes better.

Mom's Yahrtzeit

I didn't have such a good day at work yesterday and really didn't want to eat alone. So after work I went for and manicure and pedicure and decided I was in the mood for meat and french fries . As I was walking towards the grill place on Main St I passed Annie's Kitchen and saw someone I know inside having dinner. I ended up eating chinese food instead but didn't eat alone.
this morning, my yahrtzeit candle was still lit and figured from the time I lit it and the time it would eventually go out, it would be lit a little over 36 hours. It made me realize that Mom was probably responsible for the dinner last night.
