On the eve of the
last of the fall Jewish holidays, we gathered for dinner at Dina and Aaron’s
house, arriving a few minutes early to pose for informal family pictures in the
yard. Aaron was able to set up a timer on his camera to allow all twelve of us
to be in a few of the pictures. I have now posted three of them here on the
blog. Enjoy!
We had a wonderful two
days, sharing delicious food (including Barry’s famous pot roast for the
carnivores in the group) and many laughs. To be honest, it was probably the
best I have felt in what seems like far too long a time. Buoyed by the
experience, we are hoping to return to our regular schedule of more frequent
visits to Sharon.
One thing that will
make this more feasible is that my medical oncologist, Dr. Iyer, who had only
been seeing outpatients only on Fridays, is adding Wednesday mornings to that
schedule. He told me this when I began to ask him about scheduling for Friday
mornings after we change our clocks in a few weeks, making Sabbath start quite
early. So, beginning with my next visit, I will be seeing him on Wednesdays, allowing
us much more flexibility in our planning.
I have tried hard not
to wander into politics on this blog. This has been a difficult week. I am
still debating just what, if anything, I want to say. The current story will
likely end in the next day or so, but regardless of our opinions on how it
perhaps should have gone differently, we now need to be prepared to move
forward with civility. It may just take a little time.
Meanwhile, have a
great weekend.
Love,
Rebecca
