Tikkun Olam

Well, not really. But to someone who hasn't driven on the "open road" (and I don't count driving into Talpiot for Gabapentin) for awhile, driving for 2.5 hours into the mountains sure feels like a road trip! Hopefully we'll get to our ya'ad in time for  D.H. to do some fishing before Shabbat.  If not, we go to "plan B" (see previous post ). Shabbat shalom .

Ok, just posted yesterday about Israel/Florida trip, but this is a new month (Gregorian), and I am going to try to post daily-another Nablopomo attempt, which may or may not make it.  So here goes, at least for the first day of September, 2011.  Our trip isn't over yet.  Nope.  After not having done anything of significance trip-wise for at least a year or two (I think I did get to Florida on a gift ticket last summer, for one week only), we are flying out today heading home--for one night--and leaving early (yeah, right) Friday morning for a 'last fling' mountain vacation in a little cabin near Rocky Mountain National Park.  From the Tropics to the Tundra, as it were.  We will be staying in a lovely place which has some personal meaning for us, as when our kids were little we used to take them there, and sometimes rent a boat, or go fishing and hiking.  As a matter of fact, trout IS on the menu for this weekend, if my D.

H.'s family here: his mom, sister and brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law's sister and husband with whom we are close, as well. But because nobody knew I was coming (-if they had, they would've baked a cake. But you're too young to remember that song...), both my sister-in-law and her family and my sister-in-law's sister-in-law, whom I am also close with ('cause she reads my blog. Just kidding: 'cause she's a great person, and just happens to be a relative, relatively speaking. But she does read my blog. I think. She'd better.) were not here. My D.H.'s sister and fam were on a cruise to Alaska , believe it or not. Why couldn't I be on a cruise to Alaska?  That is actually one of our dreams for after we win THE BIG ONE on Powerball ...
