What would have been a major highlight of last week was unfortunately not quite what we would have liked it to be. Dina and Ella escorted Julia to New York for a day to visit the American Girl Store and buy her first American Girl doll, a gift from her parents for her recent birthday. Julia named her new doll Victoria, and although she is technically a good “match” for Julia, Victoria is totally lacking in Julia’s charm and infectious energy!
Unfortunately, after much agonizing, we just did not feel we could safely join them in this activity. We had given Julia a Kindle for her birthday and she has, much to our joy, become an avid reader. She also knows that we have ordered a bed for Victoria, which we plan to bring with us when we finally make our way to Sharon.
Meanwhile, the remainder of Passover was quiet. I had routine medical appointments on Thursday, the final two days of the holiday were over the weekend, and Sunday evening we packed up all the Passover utensils and moved our regular things back to their usual places. This exercise always takes a few days because even though it was only a week or so ago, I can never remember where I put some things. That first bagel is always delicious, and last evening we had pasta for dinner. We are looking forward to our first pizza dinner. Otherwise, this is a quiet week.
Meanwhile, most of our grandchildren are having “Zoom school” this week as all of the students await what will hopefully be negative results on their COVID tests.
Stay safe and well.
Love,
Rebecca
