daddy says this is the high holidays

and i do need to come with him

to the synagogue

so we can have thinkings about

what we did in the year that did just go by,

and make a plan to do better in the year that is to come.

he says mr. levin is locking up his shoes

for the holiday.

i did ask sara chickering if she will have locking up in the

barn and in the field

and have all the animals and the plants think about

what they did last times and plan for the next times.

sara chickering says,

the animals and the plants are too young for such things

and esther is, too.

daddy says sara chickering is right.

but he says

i still have to come to the synagogue and

have some deep thinkings and talkings to God.

i do have talkings to God and deep thinkings

every day.

but i will come with daddy,

even if i can’t go fishing there.
