Pictures of 12.06.02 -- Sarah's RA Group Comes to Visit

It was Shabbat and Hannukah ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0447 so we put out the nuts ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0448 got the challah ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0449 peeled the potatoes ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0450 (once more with no flash) ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0451 got out the apple sauce ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0452 and broccoli ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0453 and paid tribute to Josephine ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0454 for her fruit ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0455 and vegetable ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0456 salads as Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0457 pondered what was next and Jane ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0458 and Kevin ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0459 worked on the never ending project as Benjamin ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0460 and Nate ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0461 looked at the project ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0462 but decided that Back Yard Baseball ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0463 was a better choice. Kevin ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0464 was nice enough to call Fred about car pooling which made Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0465 happy enough to endure the melodic accompaniment ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0466 while worrying that the car pool would be late.
When we got back from the journey, Robert ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0467 was teaching the fine points of potatoes ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0468 to the crowd ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0469 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0470 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0471 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0472 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0473 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0474 assembled in the kitchen who felt it was their solemn responsibility to always look away from the camera. The clementines ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0475 started to fix this but the door interceded ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0476 as Sarah ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0477 said good bye and we went back to kitchen pictures ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0478 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0479 that missed the point even as the mixture ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0480 got ready to be cooked to everyone's ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0481 amusement. There was cooking ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0482 which led to latkes ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0483 as the oil ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0484 boiled. Then there was a guest cooker ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0485 and flipper ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0486 as Sarah showed the magazine ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0487 she had gotten from the Jewish Center and the penny histogram ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0488 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0489 was reassembled as the first latkes ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0490 left the room and the finished products ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0491 grew even as more ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0492 were cooking in the good pan ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0493 and burning in the other ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0494 though the oil presented a pretty picture ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0495 that would have kept the Maccabees in oil for many weeks.
We did the lighting of the Hannukah candles ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0496 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0497 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0498 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0499 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0500 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0501 and then Suzanne stepped forward ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0502 to light the Shabbat candles ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0503 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0504 after which we could eat ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0505 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0506 so I made this plate ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0507 and Benjamin made this one ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0508 and we ate. These were the views ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0509 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0510 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0511 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0512 before I cleaned my plate ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0513 for fork pictures and Jane ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0514 came home to look around the table ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0515 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0516 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0517 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0518 and then we were back to Jane ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0519 and the long shot across the table ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0520 as dessert appeared ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0521 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0522 and was eaten. The conversation was animated ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0523 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0524 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0525 as RA ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0526 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0527 and mother ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0528 watched and Sarah and Laura ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0529 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0530 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0531 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0532 kept things going until it was decided that Ed ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0533 should juggle ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0534 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0535 but first we had to get Jane, Ben and Kaylen ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0536 off the computers to watch and this is what they saw ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0537 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0538 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0539 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0540 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0541 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0542 and then it was back to conversation ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0543 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0544 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0545 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0546 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0547 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0548 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0549 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0550 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0551 and closeup photos ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0552 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0553 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0554 ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0555 and the ever popular knife pictures ../../../Sabbat/12.06.02SarahsRAGroup//IMG_0556 taken in my napkin.

Happy Hannukah to all!!
