Boys will be Boys

Sharing some pictures today. First, my boys showing their passion for babies in a recent family get-together. Both Ron and Dan simply adore babies. They really wanted a little brother or sister, but fortunately, my brother-in-law and his lovely wife live nextdoor and they just provided us with a sweet sweet baby for the boys [...]

Visiting Jerusalem – Pictures from Gethsemane (Gat Shemanim)

Spent a lovely day in Jerusalem yesterday. I have lots of pictures and stories to share, and not a lot of time, so I think I’ll split this into more than one post. We traveled with a group of senior citizens from our town, friends of my parents-in-law, in an organized one day tour to [...]

Arbel Mountain – Perfect Day

We’ve had such a wonderful day yesterday, I am thrilled about sharing some pictures here today. It being the Purim holiday, we decided to skip the busy town centers and parades and head out to a nice nature reserve. For a nice mix of history and gorgeous views, we went to the Arbel Mt. near [...]

The Wall Murals in Kibbutz Or Haner

In my post about our daytrip on Saturday, I mentioned the wonderful wall art we saw in Kibbutz Or Haner and said it deserves a separate post, so here goes. We had two local guides, Kibbutz members, who provided us with information about each work of art, its history and some perceived meanings. We were [...]

Fun Daytrip – Visiting Kibbutzim near Gaza

Reading my title now, it does seem weird But I think I’ll leave it as it is. I just wasn’t sure how else to describe the location. “The South” doesn’t quite cut it, as technically, this is the center of Israel, and a bit to the north of the center, actually. For all practical needs, [...]
