I'm getting back into my routine here. After Isaiah was born, I got out of the habit of having Avi's family over for the Friday night Shabbat meal cuz I was too busy helping Danit. I don't know if I want to get back into it on a regular basis, but we did have them here this past Friday cuz it was Danit's birthday. Darren's (her husband) parents are visiting from Colorado, so they came, too. And Wednesday night they'll all be at our house again for Rosh Hashana (the New Year). Avi's mother helps with some of the cooking, so I guess it will be okay, though I'm sure I'll be in my usual state of tension getting things ready on Wednesday! Today Avi and I are going with Danit and Darren (and Isaiah, of course!) to visit Darren's parents in the RV park where they're staying. This time they drove up in their RV.
They all came in 2002 for one of my uncles memorial services....for the first time in 40 years.
They would come in the summer for a month until it got to be too expensive to bring 4 children back East...and my grandparents both died. I am glad that I went ...it was a great experience catching up on their lives in person. Hopefully, my aunt is coming back in October. I have one uncle and her still living on my Dad's side...he is 86 and she is 83...so, we'll see what happens.
What's going on in California?
