Now: Girl, Twirling

This is more “now-ish” than strictly now. Tonight, as Eleanor was trying to help us forget she needed a bath, she found a hula hoop in our neighbor’s garage.

Now: Sleepy But Happy

Right now I am collapsed in a heap on my sofa. It’s been a busy day, but wow… so much fun! After a quick trip to the Strip District for a few last minute items I was off to the Hebrew National Better-Than-A-Picnic picnic in Highland Park. We had great hotdogs (I mean really, really [...]
