San Francisco

We are in San Francisco at a Medical Conference.

(it's a bit cooler here than HH)

We drove up to Napa yesterday and had a wonderfully relaxing day

This year being in Napa when there are actually grapes

It was super cool!

We took a sunset cruise under the Golden Gate

Sam is a great traveler.

He likes martinis too

(just kidding)

Random thoughts

We had some friends from Atlanta come visit for a weekend.

Tom and Robin

This is Ashira, my Step-son's baby

That makes me ~what?

May 5th we had an Israel Independence day celebration in Hilton Head

We had State and Federal Representatives and The Deputy Consul of Israel

It turned out Awesome!! This was created by a very small group of

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.

(Sam [yes, another Sam, it was very confusing] and Maya)

Did I mention Bill took kite surfing lessons?

(ask us, we can elaborate)

We have had friends from Australia visit.

Melanie and Serge

Nice days are plentiful here.

We took a trip to Bonaire in March and had a wonderful time diving.

I hope to write a nice blog with lots of photos soon

May Road Trip

In no particular order:

We visited friends on new Hampshire and and went on a boat ride around their lake.

We visited with Raffi, Chana and Ashira twice, once up and once back. (to Montreal)

We played in the park and ate cherrios

And played in the park some more. . .

More park playing!!

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!!!

quick weekend trip

Wednesday we decided to drive down to Miami to see Eli/Emily and friends.

although we could have the top down, it wasn't Miami weather.

We took a boat ride around to look at all the expensive houses and boats (it was the boat show)

We went to a comedy show with Harry and Ellen (Malka) at the Hard Rock

We miss having them close so much!

Morris and Natasha were down visiting Morris's father (from Montreal)

So we got to see them. As you can see, not exactly warm weather.

I hope it improves for them this week.

Emily made us a Valentines day chocolate "lava type" cake!

It was super delicious!!

Why wear socks?

Since we moved to Hilton Head we have found out that our closets contents are pretty much unnecessary. Bill says he doesn't even need socks any more.

This week some friends of ours asked us to join them at a Charity Ball for the Red Cross.

What a great opportunity to wear socks!!

Up in the air

Yesterday our friend took us up in his helicopter.

I had never been in a helicopter before and we had a great time.

I will I could have gotten a few more photos of the house but I did my best.

CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO ENLARGE

If you can see the orange square roof, our house is the grey roof just to the right.

This is taken going the other way, again, just look for the orange roof for our neighbor.

It's not super easy to fly like it seems in the movies.

Also, it seems much smaller close up.

one of the better photos
