I have sad news to share. Aunt A- called me the other day and said that hospice called her about Zaidie. He wasn’t doing well at all. (Actually, they called because they tried to get in touch with Bubby and she didn’t answer, so hospice was worried about her!). I called Bubby and […]

Well, as is the way with all great ideas, this one has lapsed a bit. Funny enough, SBR started rewatching “Good Luck Charlie” from the beginning, and it reminded me of why I started this blog in the first place (see “And Away We Go” for more details). So, here I am trying […]

SBR and I did another father/daughter thing (we went to see Frozen II together back in 2019, just before the pandemic hit and long before I started this blog). SBR has really gotten into the theatre, and I also enjoy the theatre—much more so now that I’ve been away from it for so […]

Today was an exciting day and a bit stressful. We are off to Portland, OR, to celebrate K____’s bat mitzvah. We got up super early (and of course we all went to bed way too late last night)…at 0400 (that 4 a.m. if you still haven’t mastered 24-hour time). Since we were smart […]

For some random reason, David Bowie‘s “When I’m Five” popped into my head this morning when I was busy making your lunches. Just as a side note, I get up every morning and trudge down to the kitchen and make your lunches. You always have the same thing: SBR and SBK have bagels […]

Here’s one I want you to remember . SBE has gotten me into the habit of lying down with him pretty much every night. It started out with me reading a chapter of Harry Potter to him, and now it’s that and lying down with him and sometimes playing Candy Crush (but don’t […]

Today marks a week that we’ve been in Fairbanks. Ima and I really starting to fall in love with it here. I”m not sure you feel the same way…yet, but hopefully you will. It’s so beautiful and peaceful here. I could really see myself buying some land and building a little house on […]

Once again, I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, but this time I was prepared. I had my phone ready, and I was more aware. So, I snapped a few pics to share with B___, and when I woke up, sure enough, they were indeed on […]

Today was Day 5 in Fairbanks. I got up around 2 in the morning to go to the bathroom, and I thought it would be a good idea to take a picture so we could remember what 2 a.m. looked like. Also, I wanted to show your aunt (my B___). Even though I […]

We’re already on Day 4. I think we’ve pretty much acclimated to the local time if not the constant sun…and definitely not the constant mosquitoes! Like yesterday, I was up early and working by 5. I could really get used to this…getting up when everyone is still asleep and having a nice peaceful […]

As I mentioned, we chose to housesit so we could live among the natives and see what it was like to be a Fairbanksan. Well, today we did just that. I got up and went to work like every other day. Well…not exactly. I was up at 4:30 in the morning local time, […]
