I don't remember the circumstances of our meeting, but I think I met him before I met her. But no matter. They are a good couple to have as friends. They've travelled a lot, lived in Israel for a time, and he has many stories to tell.

I don't drive on the Sabbath, but my rabbi has OK'd riding. Some wouldn't even permit that. But no matter. Since I'll be picked up and then driven home, I very happily accepted their invitation to Sabbath dinner.

The weather here has been glorious! I'm so happy to have the rain gone for awhile. However, the allergens are giving me a bit of trouble. Ah, well, there's always antihistamine.

I tripped over something in the middle of the kitchen floor last night, and I'm hobbling today. No, I'm not going to tell you what I tripped over. It was a stupid thing, and if I had been paying attention, it wouldn't have happened. No major damage.

I baked an apple pie to take to dinner tonight. What we don't eat there, stays there. It's now on my no-no list. I've started Dr. Phil's psychology of eating right and treating my body with respect. And pies, cakes, cookies, chocolate are from now on anathema in my house. I will allow myself to partake at someone else's home---just as long it isn't in MY KITCHEN!!!

Oh, but I'm going to miss the chocolate.

Shalom
