Before we knew we
were planning to spend Shavuot in
Sharon, we had bought tickets to take Joshua to a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway
Park on Memorial Day. So, we returned from Sharon on Tuesday, heading straight
to MSKCC for my treatment. We stayed in New York through Shabbat and drove back up to Sharon on Sunday. Simmie and family spent
Memorial Day Weekend in New York visiting her husband’s family, and the older
children were busy with friends, so we took the opportunity to spend some time
with Julia, taking her to Kidsports, a nearby indoor play space for young
children. For some reason it was rather quiet there which gave her lots of room
to play on all the equipment, and then she selected a plaster helicopter to
paint. We had planned to stop for ice cream on the way home but I guess we
pooped her out at Kidsports and she was asleep in her car seat when we arrived
there, so Barry ran in and bought the ice cream to take back to her house in Sharon.
On Monday we saw the Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8 to 3. I am always glad to know that I do not cause bad luck for every team I favor. It was a good game but it would have been better had the temperature been 10 or so degrees higher and the sky less overcast. Today it is hot and sunny, just what we needed yesterday.
After the game the dozen of us gathered for a barbeque at Dina and Aaron’s house. I should have taken more pictures but I did get a couple of cute ones of Noah playing with a big box.
One of the reasons I did not manage to take too many pictures this weekend is that I am having yet another medical problem, this time with sciatica. This had started early last week but by the weekend was making the simple act of walking extremely difficult. I had this some years ago and fortunately it resolved. For now, we drove back to New York this morning and I have an appointment with my primary care physician tomorrow morning and will likely be referred to a specialist. Hopefully someone can give me some advice to alleviate this.
Meanwhile, have a nice week!
Love,
Rebecca
