Shabbat Dinner with Marianna on Friday, November 5


We just corresponded with Marianna, and confirmed her visit next week!

On Friday, November 5 we will celebrate Shabbat dinner with her. It's always special to have Marianna here on a Friday night :-)



If you would like to come, please RSVP (this week if possible) by replying to this email or contacting Amy directly. It will be very helpful to us to know how many people will be here. Thank you!

Compost Bin Moved


If you look closely in the picture above, you'll see Ludwig & Cecily Benecke! During the time that Ludwig & Cecily were with us, Ludwig helped me build a compost bin.



This month we deconstructed the bin that Ludwig built and moved the compost pile away from the house. We mention this not because it is newsworthy, but only to have the opportunity to show you again the following ultra-cute picture taken five years ago!
