I must confess that yesterday was the perfect rosh hashanah. after morning serviceis I agreed to usher for musaf.  Easy quiet and lots of tambourines and singing.


then since I was done at 12:30 I went to the Gardens for the horticulture tour required by my docent training.

Later Jim and I took off to a wonderful riverside park to do tashlich with rice paper and rose petal leaves.

Then lake oswego to eat dinner on the lake. pecan crusted salmon. corn chowder and a heavenly cosmo

followed by a hot bubble bath with jim

then home, hugs and games with the abster and crawled into bed with Jim, Abi, a few greenies, and Katherine Anne Porter's Pale Horse Pale Rider.

perfect day. I hope the following year is safe and calm and uneventful except for the joyous to all my mindsay friends . oh and I have been obscure film quizzes on Facebook. Join. it's great but ya gotta use your real name. I did. and the world did not end.
