This is what I hoped my dotage would be like. I'm 82. We had two stepdaughters, their families and

other grandkids over for corned beef supper. We do this every two or three months. More in warmer weather. There was singing, playful banter, looking at old books and stuff. Listening to music from the 80's (step daughter's era).

Me? Sitting back, contentedly watching the fun.

You've been blessed by your family, and I'll bet they'd say the same about you.

May these precious times go on and on and on . . .

At family gatherings.

I remember getting invited to a friend’s Rosh Hashanah. Everyone in her family knew dozens of Broadway show tunes. I was amazed at how many they could sing. It was so much fun.
