I had a fantastic day at work today -- topped off by an invitation to drink wine in the Dean's office with a bunch of colleagues; I really think I'm going to like it at Willamette -- so it was a great time to celebrate Shabbat outdoors. Even though I left Salem relatively late (4:45) I made it to daycare 15 minutes early. Yay!
As we neared the synagogue, I got frustrated because I couldn't find parking.
"Rachel, do you think I'll find parking?" I asked.
"Yes," she replied confidently.
And what do you know -- about 2 minutes later I was easing myself into a free, on-street parking space! No doubt because I am a parking goddess, which means I can find parking anywhere. It's a matrilneal trait among Lednicer women. And it increases in intensity when several of us are together. When Mom and I are in the car, we can find a space in front of Lincoln Center on a Friday night. It's very impressive.
Shabbat was nice but I didn't tune in to much of the service because I was too busy feeding Rachel, shushing Rachel, or sweeping her up and carrying her someplace away from the crowd when she got too fussy. I will be very glad when Drew returns so next year I can get more out of these services.
