A Half-Dozen Healys

Making latkes for Hanukkah is one of those things I have to gear myself up for. I know the end result will be great, but I have to get in the mood to make a big mess and smell like oil for the rest of the day. A Hanukkah apron helps.

We had a tree in our front yard. It provided shade and shelter and sustenance.

My brother built a swing and attached it to a branch of this tree, for my children.
