Trip to Cayman Brac

It has been almost a year since we have been Diving. We had a wonderful week at Cayman Brac!

Sammy has blown his ACL

Over the weekend Sam stopped using his back right leg.

This is the same knee he had surgery on about 6 years ago.

This time it is his ACL. We have decided to use conservative therapy before jumping to surgery.

Sammy is limited on his walking and running. He has range of motion exercises and will do hydrotherapy twice a week. (see video below)

people that included Bill and I.

This is Haia and Asher. They are becoming super great friends of ours here on the island.

Haia is giving me Hebrew lessons once a week!!

We have advertised out home as "Pet friendly".

As you can see, we are, even when Sam is smaller than the pets head.

May 15th 1926

I have been slow to update and hope to tell you more about the past 2-3 months

Saturday May 15th we were invited to a party

1920s party and who would have guessed it would be so successful

All the guests REALLY enjoyed getting dressed up and the band was great.

I only spent $2.99 on this costume.

Everything, except the yard of sequence I used for the headband and garter, was in my closets.

Friends of ours that live both here and Atlanta and they also goto the same synagogues and us, both here and Atlanta.

The costumes were really fun

Purim Time

It's that time of year again.

So far, 17 dozen Hamantaschen.

Just 10 or so more dozen to go

I'm having a great time delivering them!!!
