So those must be the trugs? I wondered what they looked like. Very nice - bigger than I thought they would be.

Aviv's Bar Mitzva

Marilyne · May 14, 2025, 08:44:45 AM

Two beautiful photos of Aviv's Bar Mitzvah. He looks calm and serious and handsome. I know that you and the whole family are so proud of him. Sending my Best Wishes to Aviv, on this important occasion.

I second Marilyne's post.

Thank you!
Pity I cannot post here the short video from that last photo , where one can see everyone pelting him with hard candy, as good wishes for a sweet future. The sweets were bouncing loudly on the scroll while Aviv was trying to move his head to avoid the projectiles

Bubble, try right-clicking on the video while it's playing, click on save as and then post in a downloads' folder. You should be able to post from that link.

Picking mulberries - what a treat!

So adorable, so absorbed in getting the right berries, Bubble!

Lynn is so cute!! She know just right where to put them also! Are they like a raspberry?

so_P_bubble · May 18, 2025, 01:27:07 PM

I find them tastier and quite juicy.

Here are some views from the Dead Sea
this sunny weekend

so_P_bubble · May 24, 2025, 07:13:59 AM

Next to the Dead Sea there is fresh water spring that is quite welcome in slacking thirst and alleviating the burning eyes from the Dead Sea concentrated water.

Marilyne · May 24, 2025, 11:42:20 AM

Bubble, I so enjoyed looking at the photos of the Dead Sea! I Googled for more information, and then spent the better part of an hour, learning all about it . . . and I'm not done yet. It's always surprising to me, how little we know about different parts of the world. Now we have good information online, with accurate maps, to find and read about any place in the world.
So much still to learn, and so little time left!

Bubble, thank you for the photos. I knew about the Dead Sea, and seen commercial photos, but these are better, more personal.

This week end is the Shavuot holiday - when in biblical time people used to go to Jerusalem and bring the first crops to the Temple.

It is traditional to make cheese cake and have dairy meals on that holiday.

In kindergarten the children are asked to come in festive clothes and to bring a basket of fresh produce. Then they help baking the cheese cake.

Bubble, she's always so intent and serious.

for Patricia

after a partly cloudy day, these showed up at seven PM today.

Bubble ,first have to say Lynn is such a sweetheart!

Patricia, oh my those are nasty dark clouds! Did they drop snow or rain? Or just intimidate?

patricia19 · May 30, 2025, 12:55:14 PM

Bubble, thank you so much for posting these photos for me! Lately, it will be partly cloudy to cloudy during the day and heavy rain in the evenings and overnight. I don't know what this late cold will do to the various area farms and local gardens.

Amy, in the foothills, 1500 levels, we had frost! Unheard of for this time of year, but when has normal still been something we counted on? Every other evening has brought these ominous clouds and steady, relentless rain.

This weather pattern has usually come in August when the summer weather cools down in preparatory for winter. Last year we were in the nineties and up, this year, we may not go over seventy-seven and that, not until late July.

You can see they are finishing the demolition of the old Polaris building from the nineteen thirties in the left of one of the photos. Unfortunately, the owners left it to rot, even with all the history from the thirties and forties, including a gentleman's club one time. The absentee owner ignored several court summonses until the city garnished the vacant building.
