Back to School and the New Year
Well it’s Fall and for me and many who are students and work in education it is the beginning of a new year. I am back teaching music classes with Rainbow Songs after the summer working on other projects. It feels good to be activly making music with people again.
Several other events signify this change for me now. One of my favourites is the Roncesvalles fall harvest festival.
Roncesvalles is the main street that is the centre of my community filled with people and busying with commercial activity. For the festival the street is closed and there is a fair in the middle of the road for the weekend. There is music, merchants, food and lots of people taking over street.
Mmmmm. . . Hot dog.
Games of chance and
Carnival Diablo world of wonders. Ohhhh.. .Scarry. . .
Rides to thrill and terrify.
And with the main road shut down - - Road hockey for all ! !
The other signaling of the new year is the celebration of Rosh Hashana.
This year was particularly special as it was the first time my mother-in-law Karen had entertained people in her newly gutted and renovated house.
My sister with family friend and all-round sweet guy Hartley.
Before the feast.
