Hey sis,
It's been awhile since I've written you anything. Sorry. We were away for the last few days, and I am approaching a really busy time at work. The upcoming week is homecoming. Since I am a Senior advisor, it means a lot of work for me. There are a lot of activities for the kids (students) that are fun, but have to be coordinated and supervised. But, I don't really want to write about that tonight.
Instead, I want to tell about something we did last weekend. We had a 'succos' dinner. There is a jewish holiday named 'Sukkot' and we had some people over to tell them about it. Your mom and our niece, Rachel, did a lot of decorating of the Sukkot, which is a sort of shelter that is outside the house. It is a celebration of the harvest, so the decorations are about vegetables and fruit. The pictures here show some of the decorations and your cousin Rachel after she had 'bobbed' for and apple in a tub of cold water.
I guess the main message of this post is that your mom is really awesome at throwing a party. Not that 'partying' is a big thing, but what she does is bring people together for good company. She has a real gift for that. We did something else this last weekend that was similarly arranged by your mom, and as usual, it turned out great and everyone had a good time.
Well, you've been poking your mom quite a bit lately, which is good. It means we know you are doing well.
That's all for now......
Love, aba.
