Sam and Amy decorate our 2nd-ever attempt at a Sukkah back in October. We ‘repurposed’ a general use shade/shelter tent we picked up at Target by removing the roof, hanging muslin from the sides, and finding branches around the ‘hood. Worked quite well, until the rains came ;-).
The family headed to Boston – well, the North Shore to be exact – to join in the festivities around Austin’s Bar Mitzvah. We stayed with the Hogan crew at a quaint little home on a pond in Marblehead, and had a great time.
Here are the best-of from this visit to Rochester. Despite some periods of rain, the boys have had a BLAST with their cousins, aunts, uncles, granparents et. al.
We should all be this lucky. I’ll be 88 if I make it this far, so god-willing, it will happen for Amy and I as well! All the Handelman kids gathered to throw a party for Marty and Sherrie at Eric and Amy’s lovely place on Saturday – and a great time was had by all. What a spread! Overnight french toast from Julie, my attempt at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon quiche (the secret – a really deep shell and long slow cooking) as well as all the usual other brunch fare combined to induce a coma by the afternoon.
