Visiting John & Susan

Dear Sis,

Spending the day at John & Susan’s with Carmin and your family brought back lots of good memories from our days at Temple Hadar Israel:) 

Naturally, Carmin and Nate played games all day. They started outside, but eventually moved things inside when it got too sunny. Gingers are afraid of sunlight… almost as bad as vampires, but not as bite-y.

We ladies talked the day away, while babies ate, napped, and played.

Of course, Susan made us a wonderful dinner! She was kind enough to share recipes. Actually, I have a big stack of recipes from her. She is enabling our cooking addiction! …but it is nice to get pointers from a chef like Susan:)

P.S. I wish I had taken more pictures during our PA visit. I didn’t get any with Mom’s or Dad’s family. 90% of what I do have is from OEV friends, cousin Lea, and you!

    Hi there! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Thanks!

    I think that what you posted was very reasonable. But, think about this, what if you were to create a awesome headline? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added a post title to maybe grab people’s attention? I mean BLOG_TITLE is a little vanilla. You should look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create post headlines to grab people interested. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little livelier.|
