Last goodbye
Thu Dec 25 2003

Rena and I made our last visit to Allen today. I will see him at the cemetery on Sunday, but I've already said goodbye.

We've promised to keep in touch, but I wish Allen would learn to type. His handwriting is terrible, very shaky. But even so, I'll be glad to hear from him. I'm going to put a holiday card in the mail tomorrow to his new address. I'm planning that it will be the first piece of mail he gets at his new home.

I'm picking up eldest daughter tomorrow so she can pick up brother and his children later in the day. I don't know how much time J and I will be able to spend together, as this is going to be a very busy weekend for the family.

How I would love to rent that house! It has three bedrooms, plus an additional room I could use for my "art gallery." And a double garage. It would be so nice to shelter my car. However, it's too far away from the synagogue to walk to services on Saturday, so even if I could afford the rent, I couldn't make the walk. Oh, and there's even a fireplace.

There's an area in the back yard that could be planted in a veggie and flower garden. I'd have to get help preparing the land, but I have a friend who is "into" gardening, and I'll bet he'd be tickled to help if I promised him some of the goodies.

Dream on. Ain't gonna happen. *sob*

Took Rena home after the visit with Allen, so I'm alone tonight. Lit my menorah candles as usual, and then promptly fell asleep in my recliner. When I woke up the candles had all burned down. Maybe I'd better plan on a nap tomorrow before candle lighting so I can enjoy the 7th day of Chanukah.

I may make it to bed earlier than usual tonight. I'm not especially tired, but I'm very sleepy. My eyes are telling me it's time.

So goodnight all. Chat at you tomorrow.

Happy Holidays

    sounds like a beautiful house, chaya
    i must admit, after so many years of having to park my cars out in the weather, it truly is a pleasure and a blessing to now have a double garage all to myself

    Happy 7th Day of Chanukah, Chaya!
    That is so sad about Allen. He must be a very lonely man right now.
    Love to Rena and Miki.
    Hugs & Love,
