🌞 Good Morning, Lower Merion! I can’t help but shake my head as I edit the issue # 🤭 this morning … if you have kids, you know what I am talking about! My youngest turns double digits tomorrow, exciting and bittersweet. This week also marks Yom Kippur, a time of reflection and renewal. Wishing those observing an easy fast and a meaningful holiday. October is bringing lots of fun events in town, hope you can enjoy them.
