    Thanks for that nice story, Liz. You look great, so you must be feeling better. Yes, I do remember waiting in the odd and even gas lines! Tommy was a baby and I would bring his morning bottle and feed him while wating. Those were yucky days having to do that! Hugs to you all!

    1. I was dumbstruck by how beautiful you look today.
    2. Not for nothing, though I appreciated your story, I REALLY loved how you threw the word “schmear” around. Maybe we *are* really sisters. #yiddish

    I LOVE THIS! First, you look gorgeous as always. Second, I have always loved your voice, that blend of Hungarian and New Jersey that is unique to you. And third, I do remember when your license plate number determined what day you could buy gas! Reminds me I should tell my kids about my Mom’s stories about day-old donuts dunked in coffee, and “cereal” made from crushed up saltines.
