Sooner or later we all must turn to Philosophy (or Religion, I guess) to accept certain inevitable bitter truths, that come tumbling our way..(my philosophical conclusion )))

Still, like Ann Frank said, life is good and so are some people...

Enjoy each golden moment, when it happens...

Absolutely correct.
And for what it's worth, this is the aspect of Christianity that disturbs me the most.
As long is Christians cling to the falsehood that "the way to God and Heaven is ONLY through Jesus", there will be further genocidal behavior by Christians towards non Christians - and Jews especially because as long as Jews do not accept Jesus as savior, it denies Christian validity (in the minds of Christians). The combination of the position described by Mr Born, and this Jewish-Christian relationship, is a very dangerous thing indeed.

Christians don't see this. They can't imagine being as brutal, callous, and inhuman as their history has been. But History is long, and while some attitudes seem firm, they actually change quite radically over the long reality of time. There will come a day again when Christians no longer look with kind sympathy on the poor Jew who "doesn't know Jesus is his/her salvation".

Dearest Mark and Hilda,

We were deeply shocked by the sudden passing of your Mom -I briefly spoke to her on the phone after she returned from the hospital, but could tell, she was very down...My most sincere condolences !

With all the medical problems she fought so valiantly, she also had so manyl blessings in her long life, a great marriage with her beloved and loving Al, your Dad, two caring kids, granddaughters, so much "naches", and we must so celebrate her life....she was certainly a very special, beloved friend of mine...

I am still recovering from unfortunate fall, ten months ago after celebrating my 90th b' day, still "licking my wounds", so won't be able to come to the funeral, but my thoughts, prayers and my heart will be there!

Lots of Love and compassion to you and your family,

Lisa Earle and the kids, Julie, Lenny and David Ruden

Hi Mom,
We decided to do our dinner today (Friday) instead of Thursday.
So we spent a lot of time shopping for it yesterday, and cooking a variety of things up early last night. Cooking the turkey now, and Pammie has her desert dish lined up for cooking after that!

Going to have another couple join us - some of our best local friends. Sadly they are moving up to Maine for his job :(. So it's gonna be a table of 6 this year!

Supposed to get a dishwasher delivered and installed this morning. But the installation guy got here on time expecting the dishwasher to have been delivered already. So we're messing around with Sears for what's up and when we'll get the job done - probably next week sometime.
Really looking forward to the new dishwasher because the current one doesn't clean very well anymore.

Glad your Thursday was so great!
Wish we could have been there.
Who all was there?
---D.

Hi, Y'all!

Thanks for the report and do enjoy that Turkey today (just as delicious on Friday, I'm sure...:)

Pain in the butt about the new dishwasher, but worth it, I'm sure!

We also had six around the table this year and it really worked so well, good conversation and so much less hustle for Julie, the ultimate Hostess, Cook and Bottle washer Supreme ...She is limping today and worn out -don't tell her I told you ...:((( She is momentarily taking a soaky, foamy bath -hope it will help, I pray...

There was our special neighbor, Cynthia, always interesting, Marylin Jacobs, who missed you terribly, Ruth and her son, Alfred Kay, and us. Everyone is sending their hugs and love to Y'all...Lenny had to work (double pay, so important in this economy (((, so could not make it. Paula and the boys went to her daughter's, Angela, who is expecting to give birth in two weeks ( BTW,it's a girl).

Hugs and Love to all of you, to Pammie, Sheila and Irwin and of course, YOU!!!
