REPOST: yom kippur, the day of atonement, is coming!
(hank thinking about his transgressions during the year)
* i am reposting my story about yom kippur as it is approaching… it’s not always SO much fun to think about all the things i’ve done wrong, easier to think about what hank or my children have done wrong, but that’s not really the way it’s supposed to go…

how do you like them apples? I DON'T!! x00xx
(hank back in boulder with apples that had fallen from our tree…)
rosh hashana is the jewish holiday celebrating the new year. the date jumps around (as do all jewish holidays - that’s just how the jewish calendar works) but it is always in the fall. this totally makes sense to me since fall is the beginning of so many things that our lives revolve around: new school year, new TV season, fall fashion lines… the regular new year has always felt kind of arbitrary to me coming in january because it seems like the MIDDLE of the year, which it IS if you are a student or a parent and i’ve been one or the other of those for most of my life.

boulder buddies! x0x0x
(lucy and ella at lu’s third birthday party…)
i have been thinking a lot about friendship lately. since we moved back to california it’s been so much easier for me to spend time with my growing up friends and that has been so grounding and wonderful. we moved to berkeley from seattle when i was five so my longest current friendships started then. (i DID have friends in seattle, but i don’t know them anymore… i even had an adorable boyfriend in preschool that my parents totally lost track of. i LOVE the stories on people.com where they feature couples who knew each other in childhood and reconnected decades later… all the rest of my old boyfriends are either married, gay or disasterous so “ramey” is my last hope to be on the cover of people. we can’t remember his last name, but he was five or six in seattle in 1975…)

my eldorado springs project was featured in home & garden colorado magazine! x0x0x
i am so thrilled that my eldorado spring project is included in the summer 2025 issue of home & garden colorado. this was an especially rewarding project because my clients moved from the house we worked on together in boulder to a smaller, jewel box of a home in eldorado springs. we had a great time placing their original furniture and layering on new pieces. many thanks to lori tobias for the story and to heather burns for the lovely photo and of course, my wonderful clients! x00x
