Lynn is such a beautiful baby!  She must be the shining light in your lives, these past six months.  I think about you and your family a lot, and always hope and pray that the War will be over soon.

Bubble, Lynn is so much like Aviv or at least to me! She is so darn cute, and who wants to sit around when there are places to go and so much to see.

Yesterday's walk on the beach.

[Amy]

I would love to be with them!!Calming scene. Soon Lynn will be too big to carry like that! Shiny blonde hair. Don't you wish you could juust hug them all day?

[patricia19]

Bubble, I agree with Amy. Illy and Lynn and a sunny time on the beach, I'll bet they're really enjoying themselves.

[so_P_bubble]

yes the last two days we had some beautiful sunny weather. Sunday will see a big drop in temperature and return of rain. Just before Passover big cleaning!!!

[Amy]

This is what we have in snow, so far. Far cry from walking on the beach, which I would dearly love to do!!

Power is flickering

[patricia19]

Huh...remember back when the snow was gone by Easter? Now you don't know what to expect.

[Amy]

Patricia, where the "sticks" are poking out of the snow is where our rhubarb was starting to leaf!

[patricia19]

Darn!, I hope the plant is resilient and that those poor birds are too!

We, too, received a message from Mother Nature not to expect spring any time soon locally.

Here is Lynn discovering the wonder of a grapefruit, then falling asleep

Bubble, she is so sweet!

[Amy]

Bubble, Patricia is right Lynn is so sweet. That is one huge grapefruit!!

[so_P_bubble]

and I am so pleased to see that my knitting fits her so well.
The grapefruit is from Illy's garden - where she moved to a rented tiny house in a moshav about 20 min drive from the town where I live. She enjoys so much that serene country life instead of the stressing fast moving one in town.

[Amy]

Bubble, you do beautiful work!!!

[patricia19]

I agree. Such beautiful colors and lovingly accented with those small white heart shaped buttons.

[so_P_bubble]

Thank you.
These will probably be my last knitting. Unfortunately my fingers get too painful from arthritis.

[patricia19]

Bubble, I'm sorry about your arthritis's effects on your hands. You can look back, however, on a beautiful legacy from what I've seen of your handiwork.

Thanks. PSP has also its rewards : it's a different way of creating.

Seven months ago, we lived a  very different life, enjoyable and carefree. Now wind surfing watching seems like an impossible dream.

[Marilyne]

Bubble -  Wind surfing looks carefree and beautiful, but I know that life is no longer like that for you at this time.   Peace and acceptance will prevail someday.  Sending prayers of hope,  to you and your family.
