Hi again!

Lots and lots this week; sorry if it's a long blog this time, you don't have to read it all...

First an update about last shabbat. We told you last week that we were going to have four girls as guests, two of whom were Chabad. In fact, it turned out that one of the "non-Chabad" girls' father was in fact Chabad. The fourth girl was from a chassidic family (Kloizenburg, not Chabad). They were lovely girls, and the shabbat was very interesting and pleasant.

Sarah went on her yearly school trip this week, to Eilat. We expected to have a quiet three days, just the two of us... and boy were we wrong! The first day was fine. But on the second day, we got a call from Sarah saying that during one of the hikes, she fell down a ladder. As she was laying, stunned, on the ground -- a rock fell on her head! Apparently, her concerned friends at the top of the ladder accidentally knocked a rock over the edge of the cliff. The medic who was with them bandaged her head, but my poor daughter left blood on the rocks of Eilat. As you (may or may not) know, head wounds bleed profusely even if the wound is not large.

Thank God, she was not seriously injured, though she is well and truly scraped up. They ended up taking her to the hospital in Eilat, where her wound was glued shut. We expected her to complain bitterly about her ordeal; but in fact, she said she had a really good time on the trip, even counting what happened to her. All's well that ends well...

Our fruit trees gave us some kumquats and lemons. The kumquats are very good, and Sarah and I will be happily snacking on them. The lemons are very juicy, and Esther will be turning them into nice Sephardi foods.
