In Fourteen Hours
In Fourteen hours, Daddy and I will be on the road . . .
to Haifa! It is too exciting. We have been doing errands and packing and buying this and that all day today. It is now after dinner and we are mostly packed (I can't find a shawl I was going to bring), with nothing to do but just wait. It feels weird.
We didn't get the windsheild wiper fixed, but it mysteriously started working today. We'll get the moter replace when we get back.
We have put all the perishable food in the freezer or instructed Mensch to eat it when he gets back from Mid-Winter.
What else? I still need to pay the bills. Find the timer for the light. I would like to find my shawl, but if I can't, well, then I can't.
Packing was a bit of a challenge. We are under the weight limit for each bag, if the website was accurate, but the challenge came from not knowing what the weather would be. Mara had said around 40-50, but when I looked on-line, the weather report for Haifa next week said it would go up to 82!
Anyway, we will be thinking of you and reading the blogs and keeping up to date with you. I will try to keep you posted on our goings on. It was truly wonderful to see Nathan, and briefly, Mensch. We had a nice visit with the extended family on Christmas. Mara, I am bringing photos/videos.
A bientot. Kisses and hugs. Everyone take care of themselves. And keep in touch.

Wow, so...what is the weather like? You all do timed lights too? I never knew. Eric does them, and the Hittingers did when we left for skiing.

We used to have a timer years ago, but it is nowhere to be found, so no, we didn't. The weather here is fantastic! But everyone says it is unusually warm and dry for this time of year. But wow! We are having a wonderful time.

That makes sense. I generally recall simply leaving lights on in the house when we were going out for short trips. I don't remember what we did when we left for a week in Michigan.
Our weather is pretty nice too...a tiny bit of snow fell but for the most part very pleasant.
