PCL Sponsored in Memory of Mom

Last night was the first PCL (Parent Child Learning) program of this season. I sponsored it for Mom's Yahrzeit.

He asked me to speak last minute. 

Tying into the parsha with the story of Rivka going crazy to give the camels enough water to drink, I told the story of how one year Mom & Dad were driving back from the mountains & saw a bus pulled over on the side of the road. Mom pulled over & it was the Camp Mogen Avraham bus full of kids coming home from camp that had broken down.

Mom made a trip to the next town & bought a bunch of groceries for the kids to eat. (I think I embellished it when I said that like Rivka she made several trips.)

After that I told "The Chicken Story".

May her neshama have an aliyah & may she continue to be a meilitz yosher for our family.

Grandpa is ONLINE!

We got Grandpa an early Chanukah present; a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10" Tablet computer. He now has an email address: grandpakramer@gmail.com. So do find him online & gchat/skype with him.

So far he loves it  & is discovering more uses for it. (& he hasn't used it as a cutting board yet).

SANDY

What an interesting name for a storm that eroded much of the sand from the east coast beaches.  Thank god I am alright and have electrictiy, heat, phone and food. It is still windy and cloudy. A couple of trees and big bracnches fell. My neighbor's car was hit wth a big branch that fell. Ironically this ame car was hit during the tornado 2 years ago both breking his back windshield.  People are out there taking pictures.  NY is really a mess in some places. Go know that mother nature is the worst terrorist. It shut down the lifeblood of the economy (Stock Exchange) for 2 days; subways for who knows how long etc.  Be safe.

Phoenix

I had a wonderful time in Phoenix. The kids are great and happy. The weather is getting cooler and is around 90 degrees (dry heat)  The chipmunks, elves, horses and the other made up bedtime story charachters are doing well and making new friends as I will each week to add to the ever growing story.  My flight went well too.  Go visit.  Thank you Suri Yisroel and kids for my nice vacation.

No More Blue Bags??

Silver Yahrtzeit

I can't believe it is 25 years ago that daddy never came home.  He would be very proud of us and all the grandchildren and great grand children.

Long Lost Relative Living Across the Street

Guten Moed-
So a lady named Beth Samberg emailed me, b/c she lives in our community and couldn't believe we share a last name. I don't have much info yet, and we haven't met yet, but a few crazy similarities.

I think she's from Long Island and her dad IRA(Uncle Yossi's middle name), grew up in the Bronx. Her grandparents are named LOUIS and ANNE.
Doda or anyone know who they may be?
