Yesterday my mother was the victim of a pick-pocket. She realized that her wallet had been stolen within minutes but before the credit card companies could terminate the accounts, the thieves (we assume more than one because they split up to use multiple cards quickly) had racked up hundreds of dollars worth of charges on [...]
We took a lot of photos this Thanksgiving week. We ended up with over 120 photos after combining everything taken among our three cameras, but I uploaded only eight to our online albums. Six new photos in the Darah album and two in the 2007 album (including one that Amy took of Maegan and I [...]
Every year it’s been tradition for the entire Sussman family to travel to Charlotte for Thanksgiving. My mother usually comes in from Florida a few days early but this year she came in on Saturday, five days early.
