This is the first in a series called The Dreamers. Let's hope this turns out better than last time :-/.

Hillel looks nice here.. 

This is a nice shot of Hadassah: 

Akiva is usually very photogenic, but he's looks more and more like a teenager :-( :-) 

Sent some pix along with Tzirel so the relatives can have them. Here's Leah: 

Tzirel is flying to the USA now to visit her Mom. Boy, will I miss her. 

We went to the Tank Museum at Latrun today, me, Tzirel, the three younger ones. Spent some time climbing on tanks, but it wasn't my speed. The kids liked it.

Hillel drives an armorned car! 

Akiva and Hadassah on tank 

Someone just came to borrow the cat carrier.  He offered me a kitten.  I offered him four kittens in exchange.  We smiled, understanding each other perfectly.

I re-read The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting.  Had a lot of fun rediscovering an old friend.  There were some racist remarks in the book, which would make me consider carefully how to present the book ;before giving it to one of my kids. I sure don't remember that book as being racist, but I didn't feel too offended on behalf of Jews when I read Ivanhoe either, so maybe I'm just not as sensitive as I should be.  Ivanhoe was much more blatant, and the racism was much more an integral part of the story.

I am really only starting this thing to explore doing it for a customer. I see now that it's pretty easy.
