Aunt Sheila’s Meal
In mom’s memory, we raised over $2,015 to sponsor two things at mom’s favorite charity, the Los Angeles Mission: we "adopted a meal", and we also sponsored a "seat of compassion" in mom’s name.
The seat of compassion is a seat in the LA Mission’s Holsinger Chapel named in memory of mom. The meal we adopted was lunch today. In addition to raising the money to fund the meal, we also had the opportunity to come down and help prepare and serve Aunt Sheila’s Meal.
10 of us: Gwendy, Lisa, Ryan, Austin, Fritzie, Jimmy, Kirra, Danny, Ruven, and I came down to the Mission today and prepared and served Aunt Sheila’s Lunch.
Oops
Today at mass at St. Thomas Aquinas, there was a map on the side altar for us to put a pin in where we were born. After putting my pin in Lamar, Colorado, I walked off the altar, didn’t see the step down, fell, and fractured my right hip and shoulder. You can read updates on my rehab at sheila.zucman.com/oops
Tech Support
I wish I wasn’t so challenged by technical stuff, but at this stage of my life it is really difficult (for me anyway) to pick up on it. I grew up in a world that did not move as fast as it moves now, things did not change every time you turned around, and we did not have all the gadgets that exist nowadays. In fact we had very little of the ordinary everyday things needed just to get by.

Interpreters’ Banquet 2013
Tonight was the 2013 Association of Independent Judicial Interpreters of California (AIJIC) banquet. There was a lovely dinner (great food, terrible service), dancing, and I was AIJIC’s 2013 Honoree! 🙂
Chrysanthemum Show @ Descanso Gardens
Glenn and I went to the 81st annual Chrysanthemum Show at Descanso Gardens today. I don’t know how I missed the first 80 shows, but 6 months ago I joined a garden group and I was lucky to hear about this one. It was overwhelming! I had no idea of the diversity of chrysanthemums! The sizes, shapes, colors were just unbelievable!
