February 2017

On Saturday the 10th  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.  At lunch you told me you never went on that 1st Date.  She said you were too clingy.

Then we celebrated Mardi Gras!  Andrew wore Mr. Bob's bow tie like a headband.

Then we  started on  the King Cake.

Andrew got the baby.

You and your brother agreed to take down our Christmas/Mardi Gras tree for $30.00.  Andrew didn't really help .  You put your arms around the tree and squished it down and together.  I wish I had a photo of that.  So, because you and your brother money to buy something you wanted I have you $20.00 and Andrew $10.00 for shredding some documents for Mr. Bob.  The both of you were happy. 

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 you I would take you to London for your graduation.

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

The trip was interesting and humbling.
