Today is school orientation day for both of my baby bassets. They are both in junior high school now? 7th and 8th grade???? What? Who are these people? Instead of going to school orientation, let’s just stay home and play with out Legos. Yes, that is the plan. It’s going to be weird today. The Orientation is a drive through. I have to tape a piece of paper with my kid’s names onto the side of my car and drive through a line of tents that will give us our supplies. This seems rather strange, but it does help me with my issue of having very sore legs from our hike yesterday through Armstrong Woods. The hike was pretty easy, except for one little part that was pretty steep. It was a beautiful way to spend our last few days of Summer. I have no clue how I am feeling about this new school year. For now it will be all distance learning. I get to have my family with me all day, which is great, but I am sure my boys are getting a bit tired of seeing my face all day…every day.

A powerful memoir about a secret life with the head of the mafia
Only few people are well acquainted with Meyer Lansky, known as the ‘Mob’s Accountant’ who, in his youth, managed the investments of the New York mafia and was considered one of the leading figures of the city’s underworld.

While working as a waitress in the “Dan” hotel lobby, the two met, as fate would have it. Soon, an intimate relationship developed between them and their secret love blossomed and flourished.
In this riveting unique memoir, de Toledo reveals the powerful love affair she had with Lansky, the hundreds of letters he wrote to her over the years, the other personality and sensitivity of the man who was, in the eyes of many, a criminal, the little things between him and her, and the tough decisions they had to make.
