Sophmore Dance

Mister B attended the Sophmore Dance at the high school with a friend this weekend.  Don't they make a cute couple?


Alas, they are not a couple.











They had a great time.  They danced, they sang, they ate.

Mister B is studying for his learners permit.  Soon he will be driving. They grow up so fast.

School work continues to progress nicely.  We recently took a food tour of the lower east side with my sister and her family.  It was a lot of fun and a lot of good food.

Yum, the pickle guy!

Of course we bought pickles!

We got to see Matzoh coming out of the oven.














We saw and tasted all highlights. Russ and Daughters for smoked sable and pastrami salmon, Katz's deli for hot dogs and knishes, The Streit's factory for matzoh, economy candy for halvah (delicious middle eastern treat), Kosser's for fresh baked bialys.  FYI, a true bialy is nothing like a bagel. And the final stop at the pickle guy. 

The tour was a lot of fun.  Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the lower east side.  Fun fact-Streit's is the last family owned factory. Manashevitz,Goodman's, etc. all since gobbled up by conglomerates.  Since Little Miss M is studying immigration right now the tour was timely.  Showing them where their great grandmother lived when she first came to this country added some extra meaning.

We also celebrated Great Grandma's 102nd birthday last month.
Doesn't my grandma look amazing with her great-grandkids.  Unfortunately my cousins with the baby had to leave before we could get this pic.  But know that there is one more great-grandchild.  Another boy. Poor Little Miss, the only girl on my side of the family.
