Hello from waaaayyyyyy over here!

It's been a little more than a week and I'm having a very good, relaxing time!
First on the family front, we had a delightful birthday party for Nina with all the aunts, uncles and cousins at my mother's place.

Nina went off to her two week camp and after a week there, she was forced to call home, (by me calling the camp and telling them to get her to the  phone). Her first time away from home and she doesn't even miss us a tiny little bit?  Her counselor very gently recommended I not be insulted...

I took a workshop in leather manipulation and made a clutch bag.  Of course I had to do something different than the assigned bag, therefore being the last one to complete my project.  It was fun!

Next, I went to see the Israeli Biannual Ceramic exhibit which was beautiful!

and in the meantime, Reid visited with Shiri and family in their new home in their new city...
