The Jewish Holidays continue with Yom Kippur beginning at sundown this evening and the hope that according to Jewish law we start a new year with Rosh Hashanah and the opportunity for a clean slate for peace, health, happiness and harmony and I am hoping this can be true for 2024/5785.  Having lived and survived Hurricane Sandy with memories that fade, but never leave me, I’d like to add no…  Read more

I love my family and love to spend time with them, but most of them are scattered across the country with only a few within driving distance.

Mother’s day weekend did not disappoint.  Early Saturday morning my friend Edith and I took our annual trip to the Brooklyn Terminal Market for flower and vegetable plant 🌼🪴shopping; then stopped in the huge Caribbean supermarket on site where we shopped their amazing spices, rice, flour and grains sold by the pound from large barrels.  At home we prepped the soil and then relaxed for the rest of the weekend……  Read more

The April 15th 2023 tax deadline is in my rearview mirror and it’s definitely time to relax, reflect, party and take a much needed vacation. For me that all started Tuesday, with a long walk at sunrise followed by a nap, soak in my whirlpool tub, leisurely bagel brunch and then another nap.  What, no workout, NO, I needed a break from that too.  I am glad I was able…  Read more

This is the last time (for a while) that I will refer to tax season 2024 in my weekly blog.  We all know that tax season never really ends until the IRS and most states shut down their e-file portals in October, but we can dream.  Every year we say “this has been the worst tax season ever”, and it has been yet again.  Friends and family roll their eyes…  Read more

What a difference a day or an hour can make, especially here at the beach. This morning I “slept in”, yes at 7 AM I missed that classic shot of the sun rising out of the ocean on the horizon, but with no wind, no rain, it really did feel like a spring day…. 7 AM this Morning The votes are in; Saturday Morning Sunrise – Favorite of the 4…  Read more
