In the Catholic Church, this weekend included the feasts of All Saints Day (yesterday) and All Souls Day (today). On these days, we celebrate and remember those who have died in Christ and are in heaven or are on their way to heaven. I won't turn this into a lesson on Catholic doctrine, but it is always one of my favorite feast days in the Catholic church. It is nice to pause to remember those who have passed away and the contributions they made (and still make) to our lives and to ask for their intercession on our behalf.
It looks as though fall has returned to Southern California. We're having highs only in the 60s for the next few days. I'm glad to be able to put long sleeves on Rebecca finally! Last night, we drove into Los Angeles, had dinner at Louise's Trattoria, and then we drove around in Los Feliz and looked for the houses on the show Flipping Out. We ended up at Glendale Galleria, where I found a pair of pants I'd been looking for at Janie and Jack. Although we set our clocks back an hour and got an extra hour of sleep, somehow we still slept late this morning and just barely made it to 7:30 a.m. mass. We ate pumpkin pancakes at Mimi's, did the grocery shopping, and now Ramy is watching football on television and we're both wishing Rebecca would take a nap (it isn't looking promising).
