FDNY Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 So glad it’s over! This morning as every year I leave MA at midnight to spend a few days with Mom in NYC after being away for nearly 3 months. She’ll be 99 in a few weeks and all she wants to do is play dominoes, Bingo and drink my homemade wine with no sulfites. A tradition I hope goes on for as long as I am in this business. Photo is not long ago. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbreck Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 On Monday I visited with a 100 year old client for about 30 minutes as I dropped off his taxes. What a joy that was. He has a lot of health issues but what a terrific outlook on life. He was telling me stories (with names) from his college fraternity years before WW2 and after his service years. That was a fun part of the day. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDNY Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Yes, May 18th. Her mind is good, which I think has something to do with her gambling habit. Always a card player like her father who lived to 91. I taught her dominoes many years ago because it involves more thinking and strategy. At her age I’m always amazed when I leave with less change in my pocket. But if I do win she hits me with “Aren’t you embarrassed taking money from your old mother?” During Covid she fell in the house, fractured her pelvis pulling out a card table when her friends came over. In Rehab she got in trouble for setting up card games in a corner of the Physical Therapy facility. I got a call from the administrator who said, Please tell Olympia there is no gambling allowed in here, especially during Covid. She’s a real character. I also think her 3 ounces of daily wine doesn’t hurt. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Although I don't gamble, I want to be that person. Both of my parents lived into their 90s as well as my maternal Grandparents. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
