Healthy--Exercise for me is an everyday challenge. But I'm lucky to live in a walkable neighborhood and evening/sunset walks on north Mountain Avenue can be a spectacular experience. Last night we also were invited to say "hello" to a puppy, and were glad to see a new herd of cows in the UA Campus Farm field. We've enjoyed the flock of sheep who mysteriously appear and disappear each day this past month.
Music--If I were near Atlanta, I would go to hear Dave Mathews, Bruce Springsteen and others at the "Many Rivers to Cross" music festival that Harry Belafonte is bringing together. My dad loved Harry Belafonte's music and I am still inspired by his thoughtful, consistent political activism. There's a super article about him in today's New York Times, on the Arts page. www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com
Celebrating--Tomorrow is the first night for the Jewish High Holy Days. We're doing our Rosh Hashanah dinner early tonight because our son has a rare Saturday off from his chef job. Mark and I are making two dishes from a previous NYTimes Food article on the food from Umbria, Italy. I am adding a midwestern apple crisp recipe from a friend, topped off with Haagan Daas ice cream--my Jewish mother-in-law's favorite brand. I love the Jewish holidays of Passover and New year and am grateful to have had many years at Lila's table with her friends (most of them also gone) and family who now are stretched across the continent. So, we celebrate today, in its unique beauty and
start tomorrow anew.
