Yom Teruah and more...

This week has been a good busy week, and the beginning of the Fall Feasts which I absolutely love! 

Friday, Momma took us for a tailspin by having incredibly high eye pressure which I mentioned in my last post.  It is doing better than it was, but it is not all the way back down to normal.  Plus the medications are not fully agreeing with her body.  It is making her tired with minimal appetite; however, she is up and doing some again.  Please keep praying for her full healing.

Tuesday was Yom Teruah, and our congregation had a cookout out and gathering in honor of the High Holy day.  We had a nice group here with such a sweet spirit.  We provided the hot dogs and buns, and everyone brought a side dish to go with it.  We had a true feast.  After enjoying a great time of fellowship and feasting, we had a midrash on Yom Teruah which would be properly translated Feast of Shofars.  Everyone participated in the discussion...contributing some insight or question they had.

Yesterday, we went to see Gaga (my grandfather) and take him his new bedspread for his room which he loved.  It was nice to see him so happy with something I had picked out just for him.  :)  We watched a bit of television with him while I knitted.  It is hard to find things to do with him due to his dementia/Alzheimer's, but we can often find an old timey show like Andy Griffith, Bonanza, etc or play Uno with him. 

Now today, I have been working on getting that to do list done, and it is looking pretty good.  The next thing to tackle is the Sukkot meal plan and working with each family as to their assigned categories.  I enjoy that...but it is a big task at the same time...coordinating each of the families. 

Well, off to work on finishing that to do list...
