Letters to Mom

Hey Mom; Got the link to the pictures from the VIP meeting with Alice from the concert last week. We both scored! One really cool thing was that I gave him a wristband from Cool to be Kind and asked him to read about it and, if he approved, grab a photo of himself wearing the wristband and send it on.  He put it on right then and I got three shots of us. I just sent one to Anthony Head/Cool to be Kind - yes! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cool-to-be-Kind/1423664051182395  Cool to be Kind on wrists - awesome  signing my flask - he thought it would really be funny if the picture had been from "The Last Temptation"  My Dept of Youth armband - the first one he's every signed!  He called us the "Top Hat Twins" and thanked Jackie for dressing up. LOL note the sour skittles boxes - his first Halloween candy on the tour! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RWC3eUh7jb8" frameborder=&

Finally made it, Ma - we got to meet ALICE COOPER! It was beyond amazing. You know how much of a fan I've been since 1977.  I still can't believe this happened. He is so personable! I totally understand being nervous, excited and emotions I can't describe. We're still flying high from last night. We live on Disability and I never thought I would actually get to meet him except maybe by accident. We had things signed and chatted. He is beyond amazing with the fans and the concert was fantastic. New songs, Sheryl as Nurse Rozetta and the band is fantastic! Jackie fought hard and won the push-me/pull-you match for one of the necklaces he throws out and she got some ribbon shot out into the audience for the last song Of course I wasn't in my 4th row seat, I was up at the barricades and I got another dollar bill from Alice's sword. Alice said that he has never signed a "Dept. of Youth" armband (from the 1970s) so he signed it an

Presenting Alycia and Alayna (foster mom named them - we're thinking of keeping the names) Both girls are extremely loving and are medium haired and totally black (which was making them hard to place in a home). Whatcha think, Ma? Don't they look like Fripper and Oliver?

Hey Mom; The sukkah didn't last the week it was supposed to because of a major storm they're predicting coming through tomorrow and Tuesday.  I decided to be safe and pull the tarps, the loose limbs and everything down.  Wish you were here, Ma. You loved fall so much. http://aravahsproject.blogspot.com/2014/10/sukkah-coming-down.html

http://aravahsproject.blogspot.com/ Hey Mom, we got the sukkah up today - last day I could do it and be observant, sunset marks the beginning of Sukkot.  We got the tarps and branches up, the cot for me to sit and sleep on and even a light for reading. You loved to help me decorate it and always encouraged and supported me in my religious seeking and finding of Judaism. Miss you, Mama.  We found an old disk with pictures on it from on the Aegir's Feasts at Big Sur.  The first one was of you before the trip.  Brought tears to my eyes instantly.  I've decided that it is time for me to write my story.  I think its unusual and fascinating, also tragic and sad.  I'm going to focus on this for the National November Writing Month challenge.  Just type or write down memories as they come and whatever tangents they bring up.  No going in order and starting with my birth onward, just random thoughts. It's a bit scary, I'll admit.  I was suffering from PTSD when
