Checking in quickly

We're having a great visit, full of togetherness and fairy tea parties, stories and pro soccer games (Hapoel Tel Aviv of course). The warmth of their welcome from my children as they exited the terminal had both of my parents feeling like visiting royalty. (The children had been standing at the barrier stalking watching for my parents and the very second they saw them come out they flew under the bar and literally tackled them both. It was quite exuberant, to say the least.)

I'm preserving our memories with lots of pictures (a favorite is one of my father with a fuzzy pink purse - on his head). I haven't uploaded them yet but hopefully there are a few gems in there. (I'd check now but all my usb cables are in the closet in the room where my parents are currently sound asleep. Later.)

I'll have to cut this off now, it's time to go make like a grownup and work for a living.

PS I finally found a pair of sensible old lady shoes shoes with removable orthotics that I actually like - and better yet they're comfortable and don't make my feet hurt. They're Clarks, and look quite a lot like these, just with a leather criss-cross strap with a velcro closure instead of the cord. Oh, and they didn't have black in my size, so for the first time in probably twenty years I've got a chocolate brown shoe. It looks great and it's dark enough to hold me over for a bit though, so all's well in Shoeville. I'm just happy they don't make me look ninety years old!

Update: Found 'em! Mine are these. Not your grandmother's sensible shoes, eh?
