8 July 2012

Welcome to my new blog! I plan this to be a sort of online diary, with a little info about my day posted each day.

I worked out at the outdoor gym first thing this morning, something I generally do at least every other day.

I did my usual weekly grocery shopping at the big ShuferSal in town. Today, my 5-shekel coin got stuck in my shopping cart, somethings which has never happened before. When the security guard was also unable to get it out (normally one does this by attaching the cart to another cart), we went to the customer service desk where they gave me 5 shekels so I could go home and let THEM worry about getting the darn coin out!

Today I posted a couple of videos of my hike yesterday in Nakhal Yoash. Click here to check out that post.

We ate lunch today at Café Café in the local mall, one of our favorite places to eat out. David ordered penne in a rosé sauce, but when it came, it was spicy hot and he did NOT like it. We complained to the waiters, and they graciously allowed him to order it with a different sauce and only charged us for one of them. Proper customer service DOES exist here!

I continued my project of entering my mom's letters to her parents in the 1950s. Today, I learned that they finally were to receive the paltry settlement sum of $1000 for her accident, a collision with a tanker truck in the desert in which 2 people (my mom's sister, who was driving, and my dad's first wife) were killed and 2 others (my mom and another woman) were seriously injured (both of my mom's legs were broken, and she spent many months in the hospital). Now you know why insurance is so much more expensive these days compared to then!

Well, I think that's more than enough for today. Some days, I'm sure the posts will be much shorter because of time limitations. See you tomorrow!
