COUNT OUR BLESSINGS

Well we have moved out of our wonderful little cottage and went across town in a very residential neighborhood , this neighborhood is blessed with a  little more of a mixed population. We have a rooster in the back of the apt block that makes his presence known to everyone within earshot. Its quite a charming blessing early in the morning.

 Its a huge blessing to have my own room .....is what Zoe would say if she were putting it nicely, me too for that matter. We do love each other but living in a studio open loft bedroom for a month has had its challenges for us both. Unintentionally ,I think I made it somehow harder for Zoe to put up with me, than she made it for me to put up with her. But we did it, and we still are talking to each other! LOL

Our new place has three bed rooms (its a blessing our bedrooms  are as far away from each other as possible), and we will be blessed with  another room mate next week, so we will have to be on our best behaviour .  How thankful are we  for a patio again ,we have been blessed! I can sit out side under the pomegranate tree and enjoy a coffee in  this perfect weather. Another blessing is I can cook again! we have a real gas stove and oven and I cant wait to host a dinner party, (perhaps on erev Shabbat.) the first thing I did when we got here was cook a lovely chicken cacciatore. Don't get me wrong ,the food here is great its just that I missed cooking with a real stove and feeding people.  here are some shots from our food album, so far on our trip.

 

 

 

we sometimes are so hungry we forget to take a picture but I suspect this album will grow to be quite large before we leave Israel, lets just hope my pants don't grow with it!

Well tomorrow we start work at the food bank and we are excited to serve.   We will be leaving the apt to catch the bus at 7:30 every morning (pray for Lisa), then we are finished at 5pm and bus it back.   As far as I know we are working with loading pallets of food stuff, but I will keep you informed.   I think I put on my application that I knew how to drive a fork lift so you never know what job I could be blessed with.    Although , do you think because all my references said I was bossy,  they might  bless me with a  supervisor job!   Lets hope ! LOL

 

UNTILL NEXT TIME  COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
