I'm going to Israel this summer!!! Yesterday Marissa and I registered for Birthright Israel, the Israel Outdoors trip. Our chances are pretty good considering we're both close to the cut-off age, and they tend to give priority to us "old" folks. Also we registered in time for the priority, first-come, first-served status. And, if Heather gives our names to the Israel Outdoors folks, apparently that makes us VIP. I'd say it's pretty much in the bag. We won't know for sure until the end of February or March I think. Wish us luck.
Also, send some luck our way for Herschel, who is currently at Paws & Claws Veterinary Hospital. His eye got messed up somehow and it's not looking good. Hopefully it won't cost us $$$ and won't cost him an eye. Poor guy.

Legen...wait for it...dary!
New obsession: How I Met Your Mother. Funniest show since Seinfeld, bar none. Seriously folks, this is one hilarious, LOL, knee-slapping sitcom. The writers are geniuses...and now they're back!
As expected, the weekend away in Florida was lovely...80 degrees everyday, not a drop of rain, abundant sunshine. I may even like Florida a little. We spent the day Saturday at the Morikami Gardens, the gorgeous Japanese gardens in Delray Beach, and the evening eating sushi and walking around Downtown Delray. Sunday we went to the beach and had G'ma and G'pa over for a surprise dinner. The surprise wasn't the dinner, it was their grandchildren being at the dinner. We had a yummy meal followed by the second half of the Super Bowl. Now, I'm not a football fan in the least. In fact, I don't think I've ever really watched the Super Bowl, only had it on in the background to watch the halftime show and the commercials. But this was one exciting game, I have to say. The pass that led to the touchdown that let to the Giants winning had to be, well, legendary. We were all cheering and jumping up and down. This is from a family that doesn't "do" sports, aside from skiing and golf.
So let's take a minute and reflect on the weather, about which I am slightly obsessed:
Last week--temperatures in the 60s, spring jacket weather
Monday--so bitterly cold it was below 0 with the wind chill
Tuesday--snowed all day with accumulation of a few inches
Today--53 degrees right now and raining
LOVE IT!
