How I loved that carriage…

I know it’s irrational, but I felt happy happy happy every time I saw and used this Pliko. Found in the trash on Ranee Avenue last November; R.I.P. (not even 6 months later!)

I hope whoever took it really needs a stroller. I can’t even say it was stolen because I don’t know how far down the driveway the kids left it… somebody might have thought it was being given away. YM took it out to get library books out of the trunk. Elisheva spotted it out there and was too lazy to put it back in. (“I figured he was still getting his books out.”) (even when he was inside in his pyjamas, brushing teeth, reading books…???)

So sad.

If only I’d sent Ted grocery shopping, he’d have put it back in and everything would have been okay.

While I’m feeling sad: seen in an obit at Benjamin’s website (I was just looking up Ted’s work number, I promise!):

My beautiful baby boy, so lost an adult. May you find peace. Gone are the demons. I will find you a soft place.

It reminded me so much of Eli. Ted thinks it might have been a suicide.

I bought Morah, Morah, Teach Me Torah just before Shavuos (literally, minutes before the bookstore closed) and have been enjoying it weekly ever since. I don’t look at it before I write my parsha overviews , but I do read it when I’m planning what sorts of things to do with my kids in connection with the parsha. It’s also something I can read with them if I choose. There are so many reasons I like this book! Despite the very cute picture on the cover, it’s not just for teeny-weeny kids. It features simple songs (if you know basic tunes to kids’ songs in English, like Mary Had a Little Lamb , or The Ants Come Marching , you can sing these songs!), parsha summarie...
