Penny Peirez Abrams reports, “I have accepted it is OK to just sit and do nothing. From my magic chair that puts me upon my feet, I can look out into my yard, where I have a fairy garden and gnomes.

They have moved to an assisted living facility that’s close to two of their four children. “We remember our Brandeis days fondly,” Sholom writes.
