Older daughter is taking this on and she lives in Boston. She designs gardens for folks in Edgartown and Chappaquiddick Island. Son in NYC is a very busy prosecutor in the Brooklyn DA's office. My other daughter is working in the Hollywood community but is helpful with spreadsheets and math. Their dad (my ex) has passed away. My now and forever hubby's daughter is a very busy rabbi on Long Island..

Thank you for the spelling, tchotchke. What a word!
