WINDOWS
Our house needs many things. The roof looks good and we got a new boiler, did basic repair on the deck, and lots of other stuff — all of which got fully paid for. That is why we are so… Read More ›
THE KOTEL
My favorite place in Jerusalem was the Western Wall, sometimes incorrectly called the “Wailing Wall.” In Hebrew, it’s Kotel — it rhymes with motel. I used to go to the Kotel to leave messages for God. We all believed messages left there… Read More ›

HORIZONTAL LINES: PHOTO A WEEK CHALLENGE
A Photo a Week Challenge: Horizontal Lines I remember way back when I still had to get dressed to go to work trying to find a flattering skirt. I finally found a nice one with thin vertical lines running downward on… Read More ›
