I’ve been doing this blog over a year and it is a real learning experience. For the first time I looked at other blogs, I mean really looked. Especially at ones that are like mine. About family, about life, about fun. Trying to be a good person and do cool stuff. HELLOOOOO! One, there … More Happy 2019 to everyone! New Year, New Look, New Appreciation!
Sam came back for the Holidays, as you can see in the picture from “Amazing Holidays” post. He survived the first semester, got some great evaluations and then waiting for some others still. He said the best part was finding people and making friends. Super cool having him home. He is training with Andy and … More OMG! I never even said anything but Sam returned home from college and it’s been GREAT!
Sophie and I are learning French, so cool, only a few weeks now. We planned a trip to Belgium for this summer then backed off that when we calculated coasts 🙂 But we will save, do some real planning and pick another good time. Meanwhile we have joined the Alliance Francaise in Philadelphia. We will … More Sophie and I are learning French!
We were at our Cabin, tuned out from the world and into each other. I love that we can’t get any cell service or anything there. It’s just reading, playing games, eating and other such activities. So wonderful, a great way to celebrate the Holidays and each other.
That’s right our baby boy. Love you very much Samuel Arnold, and Happy Birthday!
Loved seeing the Rhythm in Motion Dance Company’s cast put on a classic and inspiring performance of Tchikovsky’s Nutcracker. So proud of our beautiful ballerina, astounding, bravisima ! I am in awe of my baby girl and her skill, power and grace!
My husband, Labor and Constitutional Historian, has explained to me that the holiday has origins completely different from it’s current form and celebration. It makes me wonder how many other holidays are like that? Holidays that were created to distract or divert people rather than honor a particular event to be proud of. Still, I … More Heading into the Thanksgiving Holiday there is a lot that I am thankful for.
The second does not diminish the first. St. Augustine said that the purpose of war is peace, I believe that most often those who serve do so with this in their hearts. I will always support them. I will not blindly support governments that use those men and women like cannon fodder, to gain power … More Today my country honors Veterans. I am grateful for their service and sad that we still send young men and women to die in war.
I felt like recent outcomes were such a predictor for the world that my children are coming into. It really felt like life and death. Every day I have fear for my children, especially with anti-Semitic and Racist incidents like the ones in Pittsburgh and Kentucky. My son attends Shabbat services on his college campus, … More Being a parent is so hard. Mid Term Elections became a manifestation of some of that struggle.
If you need hope think about a much more organized, technically savvy and culturally aware generation going to the polls November 6th.
