Dear Reader,
Although we’re not in the fire zone this time around (like we were seven years ago), it’s still stressful to see the fires raging so close to family and friends. It looks like the fireman have gained the upper hand. Thank goodness for real-life heroes.
Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish readers! I have a counter full of potatoes, onions, and apples, and I’ll be making latkes and applesauce on Thursday. For more on Hanukkah (including this year’s Hanukkah videos), visit Hanukkah Fun.
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman
