I saw that title and knew that I was about to be offered another of your fly on the Wall series. I do love them because you make your life so funny. You worked with Bob of Sesame Street? What else are you hiding? I watch Jane Pauley Sunday Morning and my favorite part of the show is the segment A Life Well Lived. I can see them doing you decades from now.
Tell us more about Phylis. She, like you, is fascinating.

    You'd love Phyllis (well, everyone does, truthfully.) And she'd enjoy you, too. You're both charming and fun and open to everything.

    Thank you for this really nice review. I'm so lucky to have you in my life. xoxox

I loved your endearing story and I reckon you could make a trip to the DIY store sound like a cruise around the Caribbean Rachelle.

The helpful woman was condescending and patronising Rachelle and sometimes these people never take no for an answer. Your dear friend sounds fascinating and I am glad you both enjoy a long lasting friendship and good conversation when you meet for lunch. This is delightful post with clever metaphors and a touch of humor, much enjoyed, love Dolly x x x

    Thank you, Dolly! And you're so right about the 'patronizing' part. OY!!! She was NOT, as my husband and I love to say, "reading the room." Another friend of mine puts it this way, and I think it's very valid: "Helpful" is the sunny side of "controlling." Isn't that true? Who among us doesn't know what the road to hell is paved with!!

    Thanks for this perfect review. xoxo

I had so much fun reading this. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Talk about serendip! (serendipity! ????)

"NOOOO! PLEASE!! DON'T MOVE!!!" She continued to shout as she steamrolled ever closer. "I CAN HELP YOU!!!" (Sorry, but I'm laughing out loud here. So much my husband came to check on me.)

Of the many places I have lived my favorite five years was in West Trenton where we were the only non-Jewish family on the street, unless you count the Kaplan's who Missus was Catholic, but the love of life on the block went on every night, especiall in the summer.

    It takes a special Non-Jew to live among us; this is FACT!! Glad you look back fondly upon those days. xoxox
