It was the afternoon of the first evening of Passover and so we had to start thinking about a Seder as we had recorded in
But first, Ben and I continued on our project to get pictures of all of the paperweights by adding these

Next Harry Cummins stopped by
to drop off Sam and Ben gave his birthday present
and even in the second take
couldn't keep his eyes opened.
Jane and I headed off to Staples
among other errands but got caught in traffic by this beautiful tree
behind this car
that ever so slowly brought us along the cemetery
until this crossing guard
finally got things going for us.
Back at home, the food was cooking
the table was set
with the new vase
Suzanne had gotten and the 3 matzot
were ready to go as we admired the horseradish root
and the special olive oil
that we knew not to use for cooking as Ann
told us about life in New York and Jane
admired the matzah
and macaroons
Ann had brought while Ben
went out and brought in the mail. Sarah and Devon arrived
and started melting chocolate
for the strawberries while we pulled out this cheese
which appeared better sans flash
and opened it for tasting. Ben
emerged and we left the matzah ball soup aside
and headed to the table
where we read from the haggadah ( No, Ben is not asleep )
and then had chicken
as a main course as the table flowed
with food and my plate grew from this
to this
even as Jane was clearing her plate
and Ben
was practicing
with the juggling balls he got even as he was unable to keep them in the air.
For dessert, we had macaroons
and fruit
and after admiring the dirty plates in the dishwasher
we brought out the chocolate cake
and chocolate covered strawberries
so that my dessert plate could look like this
as Suzanne ate at the opposite end of the table
and we took the required pictures of Jane's foot
for posterity. Next, Sarah produced her old and new driver's
licenses
for all to admire (though the camera did not do a good job) and Jane
took this sequence of pictures of Suzanne and I in our Egyptian garb
