As I typed that, for some reason I thought of a great book written about post-WWII Britain called Saturday night, Sunday morning. I may need to find my copy and read it again. It may take me awhile but hey - worth it!
Ok....so Friday totally sucked. I mean totally.....in terms of my brain. I can't even really tell you what I did other than going to the gym & Dr. G. Oh wait....I also picked up Leo and brought him home for Shabbat dinner. I love that Leo really seems to enjoy our Friday night dinners. I introduced him to an apple pie from Gunn's Bakery and he REALLY enjoyed that. Two full pieces after he'd finished his dinner! He specifically asked me to tell Bernie Gunn how good it was. When I went to pick up Samuel's birthday cake yesterday after synagogue I saw Bernie and passed along the message.
I met a woman at synagogue yesterday who is the daughter of a lady I know named Ann. Well the daughter, Bonnie, and I got talking. She's from Ottawa and knows my really good friend Barbara G. Turns out that she was a Barb's daughter's Bat Mitzvah as well and was even part of the candlelighting ceremony Ally had. It is such a small world. As Ann said, just another episode of playing Jewish geography! The funny thing is that Barbara and I met back home in BC when we were 15 and long before either of us converted to Judaism!
When I got home from the synagogue yesterday I was absolutely pooched so had a 'short nap'. That was the plan anyway...turned into a solid two hours which I obviously needed. When I got up it was time to get ready and head to the Old Spaghetti Factory for Samuel's birthday dinner. His friends Bronwyn, Rene, Rhiannon and Kelly (with her absolutely adorable daughter Melody) joined us....as did our friend Lorna and Sam's dad Hugh. We had a really good time. Sam should get an award for the most creative way to cut a birthday cake award. He cut it according to parts of the words he felt would be appropriate to the person eating that piece of cake. It was a riot! In my case I got "Ha" because he said I am always saying that! :) A good time was had by one and all.
So I have suitcases open on the living room floor to begin my packing. I believe I'll need an extra for presents so thought I would pack now to make sure I don't forget anything! I'm off to the gym at 10:00 with Sam & Rene so I'd better go get ready.
I hope that all of you have a wonderful day!
Talk to you again soon!
