The Shepards went on a two-city Jewish New Year Tour this past week.
On Saturday we were off to Albany with a brief stop in Saugerties to visit the Garlic Festival. Then, on Sunday, over to Troy to take part in Grandpa Sidney's unveiling. The trip to the cemetery got Stella very interested in death and Grandpa Sidney. So much so that she continued to talk about Sidney for days and eventually requested a photo of him so that she wouldn't miss him.
On Monday, Carol and Norman hosted Rosh Hashanah dinner for 29. The kids had a blast and really enjoyed seeing baby Hannah again.
Tuesday we were in Natick for services. The kids behaved themselves in the big service and in the kids' service.
Theo and Cindy joined us that night for dinner as they continued their visit to New England.
On Wednesday we went to services again and then headed back to Brooklyn.
