breezy sunny afternoon

i really feel like i am on vacation in my parents house. not that i feel like i'm a guest, but i feel like i do when we stay at a house on the beach...long lazy days relaxing, reading, visiting with each other. granted there are late night phish shows in between, but now that i have a full day where i'm in charge...it's just really great. tonight i'll have another bbq with my family, then soon it's time to return to the nyc for shabbat.

sunday i head to long island to hofstra university for the caje conference. i'll be representing the melton research center and jts press at the shuk part time and the rest of the time attending classes, workshops, concerts, israeli dancing...it will be jam-packed with activities.

just got an update from lw that the tor (my sister's pet turtle) is eating well. she is being such a good auntie feeding him this week. i really miss the little guy. here's an old photo for those of you who haven't met him yet:


yesterday spent the afternoon with grandma g. we had thai for lunch (she's had thai food 3 times at the same restaurant and always orders the same thing). we did some errands and went to the ma'ket (since we were in ba'stun that's what they call it). i need to start making a list of all the great things grandma g has to say. here's quote #1:

"In the evening, I like to take a peach or a nectarine."

I love it! Take a peach! It's great! I've got to start using that.
