A Bride in the Desert. A Southern Belle making the best out of making aliyah. Tuesday, August 7, 2012. Not really. Still back in the United States, but missing the Holy Land with every fiber. We're planning a trip to Israel next Spring.with a 15 month old.on an 11 hour flight. Let me take this moment to apologize and prepare my fellow passengers in advance. My kid seems to have the energy of a hyena on crack, so there's that. It should be an interesting post to say the least. Links to this post.

A Bride in the Desert. A Southern Belle making the best out of making aliyah. Thursday, August 18, 2011. Moving Again: The Dog's Innermost Thoughts. Is that what I think it is? Are those.moving boxes? Let's go over this one more time. I hate moving. I hate it as much as I hate cats. And you know how much I hate cats, because I try to eat them. Are you trying to make me eat you? If I had thumbs, I'd have hitchhiked my way back home a long time ago. Yes, I admit I haven't always been the most willing parti...

As I was busy packing for our move yesterday, a coordinated terrorist attack struck in South Israel near Eilat. Most of the victims were returning from or going to Eliat for vacation.
