Trying to sum up what I’ve been up to for the past fifty years!!!?????  Other than writing a novel to compete in volume to “War and Peace” I am forced to summarize and focus in on the most recent chapter.

I am married to my “Knight in shinning armour” for forty-four and three-quarter years.  Abe  and I have four children and eleven grandchildren ranging in age from four to twenty-four. Included is one set of twins.  Our most wonderful times are when we are together.  Fortunately, except for one daughter and her family who live in Ottawa, all the rest are less than ten minutes away and we see each other regularly.

I am known by all my children and grandchildren’s friends as Bubbie Rhoda [a title that I delight in] and in everything else I’ve experienced in my life I am proudest and most fulfilled in my role as

Bubbie.
