I've decided (rather on the spur of the moment) to do an online "course" which will give me some continuing education in Hebrew. I don't know if my Hebrew is up for it, but I'd like to work on some professional development in Library Science, and from the Israeli side is the best way to do it.
The reason I'm sharing this here, is that I will be putting up weekly (I hope) posts in Hebrew connected to the work. Here is the blog with information regarding the learning.
Wish me luck!
Pictures and notes about our life in Israel, four kids, knitting and anything else I want to talk about.

Family traditions
Every family has their own stories and traditions. My favorite family tradition has probably reached about 25 years, so I think it is pretty solidly entrenched.
When my sister was maybe a teenager, maybe younger, my father threatened that he wanted to buy fake barf and put it in her bed so the would think her beloved cat had gotten sick there. It took a while, but he finally found the appropriate barf, and placed it in her bed. I'm not sure how surprised she was when she discovered it, but her logical retaliation was to place it in my father's bed. I think he was more surprised than she ever was.
And so, the barf started to make the rounds, everyone's bed, college dorm beds, wedding night hotel rooms... You get the idea. One of the best was when my father placed it in my bed while I was away in college, thinking I'd be the next one sleeping there, but no--it was a friend of his who was spending the night!
