July 28 Friday 14:00

We were up early to take Anjali to the airport. She is going to England to work with her editors on the book she works on. Good time to take a break. Within 5 miles of Haifa the world is normal, traffic, open shops, etc. The airport seemed quieter but still had lots of folks coming and going. The rocket activity is going down for Haifa, not so for nearer communities. We have been asked to save details for when the war is over so I will not "bore" you with any :-)

My week has been very hectic as we had many people in transition and hosted unexpectedly about 200 pilgrims who braved the rockets and excitement to come. We had to feed them each night, which is a chore in the best of times, but double so when you have to coordinate with companies who are still keeping things open, but are not terribly interested in expanding their business. I have been taking off in the afternoon to take a nap, it helped.

Today on our way home from the airport we stopped at Caesarea for breakfast. The setting I have described before, it was a welcome time to sit with a leasurely breakfast and med. surf coming in on ancient ruins.

Tricia is working on a quilt for a pregnant couple. She is likely to finish the project this weekend. Our diversion besides that is going to be watching the first season of "Northern Exposure". I will pull her sewing machine into the living room to make it easier on her and us.

all for now
I leaerned a new phrase in hebrew which means stay safe or take care of yourself
