A Parade 58 Years in the Making

2/8/18 was a banner day for the Sherr Family.  We finally decided to replace our 17-year old Camry (mainly because it struggled to get up the BFB yesterday and now requires expensive repairs) and Sarah now has a new car!  But the biggest thing on the 39th day of 2018 was that Alexa experienced the Eagles Victory Parade in the first person (with friends from school and, yes, a few of their parents).  While she had a different experience than Sarah, Anna, and I (who watched from the comfort of our own home), she (in her words) "never has to do THAT again!"  But the parade, in my opinion, was an expression of celebratory love for the football team we have all loved to follow.  It was fun to watch and I enjoyed it.  And I am glad I was not there.  So the number for today is 58.  The last NFL Championship for the Eagles was in 1960.  Now, 58 years later, they are champs again.  And we will also link up with my favorite song about parades!

Et Tu, Brute (since 1599)

The Ides of March.  3/15/18, the 74th day of 2018.  I wanted to have a Caesar Salad all day but, alas, it was not meant to be.  Instead, I figured I would honor Shakespeare and his Julius Caesar play, written in 1599.  So 1599 will be our number, and this strange song about JC will be our song.  Off to bed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI24OtN678o

Sugar Cookie Day and 0 unread emails!

Pretty nondescript day on day #190 of 2018.  7/9/18 is also National Sugar Cookie Day.  The only thing notable for me is that I have ZERO unread emails as I head to bed.  So, elated about that small detail, I will present 0 as the number of the day and play this song (about sugar) from the Archies.  Goodnight! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9nE2spOw_o

102nd Birthday

The 43rd day pf 2018 marked the anniversary of the birth of a very important person.  And Abraham Lincoln too!  But 2/12/18 would have been the 102nd birthday of Nettie Soskin, my Bubbe.  She was one of the most amazing women I have ever met and she is one of my role models.  And she could cook too!!  <3  So, to honor her, we have the number of the day as 102 and this Stevie Wonder classic as our song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inS9gAgSENE
