If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

Goodbye Mother

My mother left today for a year to work in the Manhattan Temple.





....so I raided her garden...



...and am currently making pesto with all the basil I picked.

Oh man, I'm so glad that this happened! I think that someone in NJ told me about this bc somehow I knew. Anyway, is your sister so excited? And I'm SURE that Susan is so excited too.

I LOVE that temple. Good bye to your mom, hello to NYC.

I love your new blog, Alice. I see the "etc." and realize you don't intend to stop with Finn. Very nice! Also, I love this photo of your mom and have saved it to my computer.
