December 2022 - Another Gender Reveal Party
Zoe's chinchilla Daisy gave birth to two babies. Like the last chinchilla birth, Zoe prepared an imaginative 'gender reveal party'. She made sufgniot (doughnuts) . The filling determined the gender: Moran reports that the doughnuts were also very tasty. And what about the fillings? Some were filled with strawberry jam denoting female, while others were filled with crushed blueberries indicating male. So congratulations to Zoe on the birth of twin chinchillas, one male and one female.

June 2021 - Switzerland vacation
The Segolis enjoyed a short vacation in Switzerland. Mikhal, Zoe and especially Lotem love to draw and show much talent. So apart from relaxation, enjoyment and "getting away from it all" the purpose of the trip was to give them the opportunity to experience and depict new sights and make new friends.
More pictures of their vacation are in the Week's Picture Archives, on the Miscellaneous page, and on Lotem's page.

December 2020 - 26th Family Reunion - 56th Anniversary Granny and Saba Eitan
On 16/12 we celebrated the 56th Anniversary of Granny Doreen and Saba Eitan, together with the 26th Levy Family Reunion. There are more pictures on the Events page, on This Weeks Picture Archives, and on the pages of Danielle, Lior, Itamar, Maayan, Lotem, Amit, and Ilai .
We also went sand surfing on a high sand dune. Click on the picture below to see a short video.
Zoe also took cousin Ilai to see the Petting Corner (Pinat Chai) that she helps to take care of.
31 October 2020 - Halloween
Happy halloween for our USA family. The Segolis lived in America for some time and the children remember Halloween. For children Halloween is fancy dress, carving pumpkins and "trick or treat". We don't get those large 'carveable' pumpins in Israel, but granddaughter Zoe found that an apple, though smaller, is a convenient substitute.
And while on the subject of Halloween,
the Ron family also lived in USA for a time,
and on one of the visits there, just before Halloween, Saba Eitan and
Granny took
granddaughter Danielle to the zoo where she could choose her own
pumpkin. It was not the most successful venture but all's well that
ends well. Read about it here.
We made a quick return drive to Midreshet Sde Boqer to celebrate granddaughter Lotem's 15th birthday. We ate Maayan's delicious red velvet birthday cake covered with icing sugar with Doreen's help, had a lovely meal and drove home again. Pictures here.
We took Joanie with us and she was rather too much interested in the Segolis guinea pig (Moses), hamster (Peaches) and rabbit (Ash). Evidently it was also Ash's birthday.
Happy Birthday also to AshSee more pictures on the pages of Maayan,and Lotem and miscellaneous events.
October 2020 - Outings and picnics during lockdown.
In this era of lockdowns and restricted movement, living in Midreshet Sde Boqer in the Negev Desert has its perks. While us city dwellers are confined to our built up areas, the Segolis and some friends can go to the nearby wide-open spaces without any fear of contracting or spreading the Corona virus. Moran sent us some pictures of their extended desert picnics and outings.
There are more pictures of the Segoli picnics on the Miscellaneous page and on the pages of Maayan, and Lotem .
July 2020 - Zoe shows Joanie how to sleep.

March 2020 - Zoe has homework
All schools were cancelled because of the coronavirus emergency and teachers maintained online contact with their pupils. Zoe, in 2nd grade, also got homework:
I was surprised and happy to get a phone call from Zoe:
Zoe: Hello Saba, how are you?
Me: I'm fine. Thank you for calling. How are you?
Z0e: I'm also fine. I'm in Eilat.
M: Are you having a good time, also with Oreo?
Zoe: Yes, he's a big dog.
Me: Are you enjoying being with your cousins Ilai and Amit?
Zoe: Yes, I'm helping Amit with her homework.

June 2017 - A little snake to play with
Our grandchildren's attiitude towards animals always amazes me, both for their "likes" and "dislikes".
There was another example this week: son Moran found a small snake and brought it home.
As you can see from the delighted look, Zoe was thrilled to entertain the little snake.
April 2017 - The grandchildren go horseriding. Zoe wanted to go riding on her 5th birthday and was delighted to be upgraded from pony to horse. She couldn't stop smiling.

Our immediate family has 3 April birthdays: Itamar Levy - April 4, Zoe Segoli - April 24, me - April 27. This year we celebrated at daughter Vered's house where there was a near full house of children and grandchildren.

July 2016 - A visit to the Galapagos Islands.
A highlight of any visit to these islands is seeing the giant tortoises that gave the islands their name.
On our visit to the Galapagos in the 1980's we were fortunate to see "Lonesome George", the last of his sub-species (he died in 2012) and scratch his neck. Touching the tortoises is now forbidden, and Zoe found an alternative. But she wasn't sure what to make of the strange looking Galapagos Iguana.

August 2015 - Zoe's first haircut
Granddaughter Zoe needed a haircut (her first) but was too afraid. Doreen took her and big sister Lotem to the hairdresser where Lotem had her haircut, but that didn't molify Zoe. So I took her to my barber where she also refused. On the barber's advice I had my hair cut while Zoe watched, then the barber told her he would cut her hair also only if she sat on grandpa's lap. So up she climbed and sat quietly as she had her first haircut, and received a certificate with a lock of her hair to prove it..
