Dani
is back in Israel
After flight
problems due to the Iran War
granddaughter Danielle Ron extended her stay in India and Thailand and
returned home after 2 months. Her mom Vered and we two were on hand
to welcome her at Ben Gurion Airport.
THIS
WEEK'S NEWS
- We were delighted that son Aviv and our granddaughter
Ilay spent the weekend with us. Aviv comes up from Eilat (a 350- Km
drive) fairly regularly to help around the house. This time: repair
the broken window handle, fix our mix master, prune our plants, repair
the
water pipe to the trees, dig wells around the big trees, and a
few
other odds and ends.
- Two of our grandchildren, Itamar Levy and Lotem Segoli
are living at this time in Haifa - about 60 Kms north of us - so we
with Aviv, and Ilay took the opportunity to
meet for a delicious dinner
at
the Najma Restaurant. It's always a pleasure being with our
grandchildren.
- The commemoration of the Shoah this week reminded us of
Doreen's visit to the concentration camp of Majdanek 20 years ago. Her
account of her visit and of our visit to Lithuania, is worth
re-reading.
There
is a new addition to my site. Doreen's
second cookbook is titled "Memories for the Future". To complement this
book I will regularly
be posting a memory of the past - Memories
and
Stories from the Past - a collection of stories and events that
we have been privileged to experience and and happy to share. The
page can be accessed from the Links to Other Pages heading at the top
of this page. Some memories incidents may have already been on this
site and they will be referenced from the Memories page. I have posted
a few items that you can click
to view.
