February 2017

On Saturday the 1th  I met your father at the Light Rail parking.  We celebrated Mardi Gras because I was leaving on Monday 13 for Israel. You and your brother wore purple & green. You were hungry so we went to BJ's for lunch.

You helped Mr. Bob by shredding some of his documents.

You wore Mr. Bob's bow tie like a headband.

Then we started on the King Cake.

You got the baby!

I agreed to give you and your brother $30.00 for taking down our Christmas/Mardi Gras tree.  You really did not help so Zachary ended up with $20.00 and you got $10.00 for Shredding.

I told you I was leaving for Israel and what would you like to bring back for you.  Both of you said no religious gift.  Then you agreed a cross is okay, but not wood!  So I brought you back a cross on a stone with a black rope from the Lake of Galilee.

I told your brother that I would take him to London for as graduation gift.  And I told you that I would take you to London for your graduation gift if I was still alive.

Left for Israel the next morning.  Here is a photo of me standing in the Jordan River.

The trip was interesting and humbling.

This was a selfie....
