Result: I can dodge anything, but I'm nervous about driving faster than 35 miles per hour. :) Don't wait until you're 29 and then say, "I *will* have my driver's license before I'm 30," the way I did!<br /><br />A very happy birthday to your mother, may she live and be well ad meah v'esrim shanah/'til the age of 120, or, as a former rabbi of mine used to say, "'Til 150, with inflation." :)Shira Salamonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989302669175887512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-15805089956615267942009-08-20T21:26:37.839-04:002009-08-20T21:26:37.839-04:00As mu father (your uncle would say): "when I ...As mu father (your uncle would say): "when I was your age, we walked uphill both ways to get our groceries, barefoot too in the dead of winter". <br />(somehow I could never see Grandma allowing this to happen...but that's a different discussion).<br /><br />Think of grocery shopping as a form of exercise (albeit a non-traditional one)...really!<br /><br />Oh, and I don't think you'd want to drive in the City, would you? It's a lot harder (and more frustrating) than it appears. The only place worse to drive in than NYC is Boston (in my opinion).<br /><br />More importantly please pass along my warmest wishes for a happy and healthy birthday to your mother!The Cousinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-4021589012049865472009-08-20T20:49:50.597-04:002009-08-20T20:49:50.597-04:00lol mommy- happy birthday.

I would also like to thank her for all that she's done and is still doing and as my sister said "She does A LOT" and that's phrased in capitals. In addition, she's very experienced in cooking to the point when one chicken is bought- she buys 6 steaks, makes soup, rice, and pretty much everything else. Last but not least, she has a great family and I feel priviledged to be her son :)Urchinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-90454094322516867022009-08-20T13:48:53.459-04:002009-08-20T13:48:53.459-04:00Yep Chana!!
