The year has gone flying past from one end to the other.
We've ended off with one year and have now begun another.
Rosh Hashana is before us for to daven and to pray.
We beseech Hashem for long life in our own and special way.
We look back on the year just past and see what we have done.
The work that we've accomplished in addition to the fun.
The work I did on Jewish Groups was done throughout the year.
I put in the tops and bottoms, let me make that very clear.
Each file must have a header and a footer made just so,
With Cooltext font and background shade, the websites seems to glow.
It makes each page look pretty and subscribers will just love
To see the links at bottom and to see the links above.
The multitude of websites are now linked one to another.
It's easy now to jump around without no fuss nor bother.
From DG Main to Grossman Ed to Eshet Chayil too,
There's Grossman Psych and Torah Lein, that's just to name a few.
I've been busy making backups and there's backups now galore.
I deleted one whole directory - just pooofff! it was no more.
We all review the websites so they're perfect and just great!
We help to make corrections so the sites will be first rate.
I helped to pick out background shades which is a lot of fun.
The web sites look so pretty but they're really far from done.
The work abounds, there's lots to do before they are complete.
We check each page so carefully and then, that's right, repeat.
But that's not all I had to do, I also did much more -
The cooking and the laundry and occasionally the store.
I went with girls to Michael and sometimes Terem, too,
And rubbed BenGay on Dovid's back - there's oh so much to do.
Harry Potter was our guest in books from five through one.
They're fantasy and rather cute and really lots of fun.
With email we have been in touch with family and friends.
The joy of writing poetry is one that never ends.
Some special friends got married, we were happy to be there.
But for one the invite came too late which really wasn't fair.
So please stay tuned with us to see just what we have in store,
For us, the Grossman Family, in fifty-seven-sixty-four.
*****
Ima (aka Mom) was the one to buy the hand shmurah matzahs and to sell off the chametz. Another one of her talents is buying the right gift. Mom had the opportunity to do that many times in the past years, but the two gifts that she most enjoyed shopping for were wedding gifts for Efrat and Luba. For each she picked out a very special challah cover, albeit very different ones for the different kallahs, and then she embroidered a message on the back. Labor of love - roughly six hours to embroider each challah cover.
And now with a smile and a cry, it's time to say good bye to the Grossman Family Clan. To Abba and Mom, to Devorah Teal and Yon, until we can all meet again.
