In the post election misery that we exist in, we are inclined to do our best to stay steady and hopeful. It is a questions that is hard to answer---how to we stay hopeful in light of the tragedy of the election and the antisemitism. Our family unit is well, having enjoyed numerous "Family Home Days" in the midst of bnai mitzvah season, swim, playdates, nutcracker, and all the rest of the swirl of life. We've converted the Playnook into the Booknook with Jacob and Hersh hanging lots of wallpaper. It's unclear if it will ever get cold. Upon meeting Scotty, the Smalls new puppy, I asked Sender how the puppy feels...to which he said, "Scotty feels very tired. He had a big day, going from his adoptive home to his forever home. That's so tiring. He needs a nap." The other day AlteLu was telling me about a book she is reading and had to pause to sort out the difference between a peasant and a pheasant:) We also won Milton Trivia which is a huge lifelong accomplishment!
