Change is in the air in so many ways. Mornings are actually cool and afternoons mild. KK's flying in the air show has run its glorious course and her first six weeks in high school is behind us, good transition. Last night, trying on adorable handed down outfits from Ruth's friend, she talked about her school she said "I need Mac Callum and I need Ballet Austin." Her determination to follow her dance dream solidifies, a change of intensity in a familiar direction. Liam has reached a whole new level of play, negotiating with dragons, slaying if necessary. Ruth is teaching him to use force only if the opponent won't negotiate. Bob has been working hard at the school volunteering and I wish it were easier on him physically. His veinous insufficiency causes his legs to get horribly red when he stands or even sits with dangling legs for long, as he did Friday. He is very tired when that redness comes. It worries me. The financial difficulties Joanna and her kids have worry me. I know worry is pointless. I am excited about getting new glasses, two pair, one for distance, one for close, and will hope I can see and function better with them. We are preparing emotionally and spiritually for Yom Kippur, looking for the best way to be in an uncertain world.

Always nice to read your updates, Victoria. I did look at the pictures shared of KK. Amazing. what fun to see what Ruth is accomplishing with Liam. I am sorry about Bob's physical issues. Glad you now have glasses which work well / better for you. I will follow your blog through Yom Kippur.

So good to have an update from you and to be able to share in your concerns and your joys. Hope the new glasses help even more than you anticipate. My sister recently got new ones and is amazed!

We love hearing how things are doing in the Stardust household. We will continue to be praying for Bob's health, Joanna's finances and a meaningful and wonderful Yom Kippur for you all.

I am sorry to hear about Bob's venous problem! Praying from here, and hoping his doctor can get rid of it as soon as possible
