A few of my favorite things... a true landmark day.

My body is back 'on-line'. Things are going much better again! So glad I went off Lyrica. I am back to feeling great again!!!!!

Here are a few recent pictures of the children, me and Robert, and a few special surprises at the end....

Dovie, 16 years old
Me, Ya'akov (15) and Robert, a few months ago [a bit blurry]


Shifra, 12... Smile!
Shifra, 12, attitude ("get real, ima")


And now for the big surprise!!! 

                                I said I am feeling great, right?


Guess what I did today?!?!



                         First this....

opened my horn for the first time in over five years


                        T h e n .............................................................. 




T H I S !

Not so easy to take a "selfie" while poised to play horn.
I couldn't get too far with playing because a few valves are stuck.
I have to go to work on un-sticking them. It's a project.
No public sound bytes until I can play at least a bit better than
the sounds of, let's say, a dying camel.

And if that wasn't enough, then I went to THIS..........................


An afternoon chamber music concert at Ben Gurion University.
Shubert and Brahms... ahhhhhh.....



And to top it all off, me and my 9-year-old, Azriel, did THIS together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went bike riding together! First time EVER.
I don't have a bike, but I raised the seat on Shifra's bike and made do.
We went all around the neighborhood and parks!
Yes, I'm sore, but we were so happy.
(I hope I can walk straight tomorrow.....)
One very happy mommy & son duo.
Today was MY mother's day.

  5. Sarah, I am so happy for you and all you were able to do the other day! I have been praying for you for all that you are going through. I have also been waiting for the day that you took out your french horn and played. Mazel Tov! I remember the days in Glen Head when we used to play the French Horn together. Continue to be blessed and feel great!

    1. Sandy, I got sooooooo many emails with exactly that sentiment! One friend wrote Yeah like ten times in huge bold purple print in an email. I wish I could reproduce that here! But, thanks. And thanks to everyone! I honestly had forgotten what feeling well felt like.
