This is a leap year with 366 days! / Another post is therefore required. / After all / tomorrow is another day. /

Thursday

A year ago / I started this blog to give meaning to passing time. / In order to reach as many readers as possible / I chose to write in English. / From the very beginning / Julie joined me as "my personal linguistic editor". / We met daily on Skype / for editing sessions. / Without Julie this project would not have taken shape. / My dearest friend / I thank you from the bottom of my heart. / This is indeed the greatest gift I could receive from you. / ♥ ♥ ♥ /

Wednesday

A month has passed since Gil and I proofed the first print formats for my blog book / and it's time to move on to the next step. / The thing is / after our vacation / I don't remember exactly where we stopped off. / I've started working on the layout / hoping the pace picks up as I progress. /

Tuesday

My son chose to take German this year / and was delighted with the German-Hebrew Dictionary my sister / Karen / gave him for his birthday. / He spends hours memorizing / German words / and comparing them to English. / My contribution was telling him how at his age / we'd look up all the "dirty" words. / Not very educational / I'm afraid. /

Monday

Orit's young daughter read the movie's description to us / and the words / Sixties / Hippie / Woodstock / and Marijuana / took on a new meaning. / After seeing the movie / Annicka / Neta / Orit / and I / decided that we too / will have a Full Moon Party / in the spirit of the one Jane Fonda threw. /

Sunday

Back in our own paradise / Roni's working in the garden / while I tackle an industrial amount of laundry. / It's indeed / a real vacation being home sweet home. /
