Have a good shabbos!
Totally agree! In retrospect the hard work makes shabbes even more special, but I find that hard to see on Friday morning. And then there are these stories of grandmothers in the shtetl that by 8AM on Friday would be all set for shabbes, cake on the table and the tsena rena at hand. Sigh...
