I spent the afternoon taking down our sukkah. Nomadic Hut Appreciation Week is over. This was the first year we really went back and build a real soccer instead of just visiting friends are putting up a tent in the backyard and calling it good enough. It was really fun to hang out and the weather was beautiful. Lil Turnip loved having an outdoor space to kick around in. She took her toy cars out there and hung out. Next year I want to decorate more, but one step at a time.

So I spent Yom Kippur sick this year. The holiday came in while I was in urgent care getting antibiotics for a throat infection. I’ll spare you the photos I took of my horror movie tonsils. I got dressed and ready to go to services and then pound out and went back to bed. I haven’t been this sick for a while. We did not however cancel our Yom Kippur break fast dinner.

Turns out we can cram 16 people into our dining room for a sit down dinner if we try hard enough! Plus a little kids table in the kitchen. May you be inspired in the book of life for a sweet new year!
