Karen, be in touch with me when the time gets closer and you know your plans for L.A. My sister and her daughter (and possibly her daughter's friend) will be visiting us at that time, so I don't know our plans yet. But I'd love to see you if we can work it out.

Yes, I usually cry at weddings, too. But I didn't cry at my own daughter's wedding! I think I was either too nervous walking up the aisle and standing under the "chupah" or too busy having fun dancing!

The rain stopped and now the sun is out. Sounds like you could use some sun, too, Kathi. I'm off to the kibbutz soon to see my parents and my other sister (Amy) and her family....

Lori, glad that you arrive safely at your sisters! Now for the funtime to begin. Keep us posted!
I am not liking this time change....it is just now beginning to get light and will be dark tonight at 5:00.....I still think I was a bear in another life and hibernated for the winter.....I would just asoon sleep though the snow and cold that will come much too soon.
Have a great Tuesday!

Hi everyone. I arrived in Israel yesterday. There were heavy rains, so the plane had to circle around a while before we could land. Now I'm at my sister Katie's house. I got a good night's sleep last night, so now I'm ready to go!

You're right, Kathi. I won't think about Thanksgiving now. Just about fun!

Halloween....I used to do the same thing...make costumes...now we don't get any trick-or-treaters...and the excitement is a hectic wild crazy day at school with 17 Kindergarteners. I am not sad that we don't get kids here! My favorite part was carving pumpkins. Oh well....it was pouring rain here, too.
Lori have a wonderful trip and fun at the wedding. Enjoy every moment and don't worry about Thanksgiving dinner...it'll all work out. Just have everyone bring something....that's what mother-in-laws should do! haha....Travel safely!
