Today, a 3 year old held my hand!

by Leslie Jacobs


Do you know in New Britain if you are a renter or homeowner you can have smoke alarms installed by the NB Firefighters because of a Program NB applies for and has done it since 2005. How cool is that?

Now, the three year old said when the fire truck came ( it’s how they get attention for the program.) I told the 3 year old- you need to hold my hand when we cross the street. He took his hand and very gently put his hand in mine.

OMG - how adorable! I’m very happy when something I’m doing brings others joy.


When I was 29 I had my wisdom tooth removed

by Leslie Jacobs


Then 35 years later I had another tooth pulled. Very weird how it happened. I had my teeth cleaned in Middletown by Kelli.

Then the next week my tooth started bothering me. It had come undone. I don’t know how or why or when.But yesterday it was removed. Took 2 minutes after they numbed my mouth.

No pain. Maybe having fluoride in our water is a good thing.


My mom was Narcissistic

by Leslie Jacobs


When my dad died 50 years ago this month-she said “I guess our lives are over.”

I spoke my truth-my life hasn’t even begun-and then she corrected herself. “My life is over.”

Only, if you believe—-

I’m enjoying working and being a helper to my city.

My crazy idea- how about Crazy PJ days on Thursdays ?
