a balloontwister’s aliya saga

Its sunday afternoon… and its almost good bye time… again…
yikes. Just when the Jetlag is ending too…
Its been a different feeling this time around. I have to reintroduce myself to the people in Shul and For those who weren’t here for shabbos, the next time I see them will be in three weeks… so in other words.. I would have seen my Staten Island Chevra more often than my Israel chevra…
Very weird.
Things seem to be the same. I bit windier this time around… but its still alot less than the 2 feet of snow that welcomed me last week in NY.
Its going to be an interesting few weeks around here. Im in COlumbus, Penina is going to Staten Island for a week and a half and Doovid is going skiing in NY.
Today we had the chossan visit us today. Our cousin Tzvi Grauman and his father are in Israel visiting Cousin Zanvy an they stopped in for a few minutes. When they called and announced that they were in town brought the same reaction to myself and Penina that happens whenever we have US compnay.
I’m happy.
Penina grabs a broom, vacuum, etc.
I run outside to find our guests who are having a hard time find our street on thanks to the street sign that is invisible.
Penina does a once over… which rooms can and can’t be shown to the guests.
It was nice having them over and I think Penina will be at the modest Vort next week in Boro Park.
Boro Park people always make small modest simchos…
Tonight as a send off, we’re taking the kids Bowling in Petach Tikva after a burger bar dinner… nothing says good bye like french fries and burgers..
Actually, I’ll spare you of the Bowling puns…
Well, I’m going to sign off.. I actually ran out of work last week and had some emailed to me over the weekend.. SO I’ll get to it now..
