Last night we watched the kids while my son and adult granddaughter got a much-needed enjoyable evening out.  “Watch” being a loose term for just being there while the kids watched movies.  Eventually they all made it to bed.  I did spend some fun one-on-one with the boys.

I try to make the most of my narrowing window of time with them, because these will be the good memories they and we will retain when they’re older and distant.  I’m very fortunate to have that, and never take it for granted.

Here is the latest, greatest batch of challah by E., and a spectacular new poppy blooming, surrounded by flower friends.
