Are you sensing a theme here? Well, we were *trying* to post an update at least every week - and Monday seemed to be the day to do it, but I missed yesterday, so you're stuck with a Tuesday update. I hope you don't mind. I was also hoping to post a photo of last week's trip to Connecticut, but I haven't been able to find my cable to hook up my camera to my computer (OK - I haven't looked very hard... yet). Alas, another week with no photo.

Our highlights of last week both happened on the weekend. First, on Saturday we visited with Susan's old time friend Liisa and her husband Josh. Susan and Liisa were in 9th grade together at VCS which Liisa's parents were on furlough. A few months ago Susan learned that Liisa was living in the NYC area, so we decided to visit her once we got settled in. We had a delightful time and ate fabulous food (homemade filafels - to die for!) and went for a walk to the river where we admired the NYC skyline (they live across the river in Jersey City).

Our second outing was lunch with the church secretary, Rayna, and her mother, Alma, and a friend, Katie. We had a delightful time getting to know these ladies and found much in common apart from our bond in Christ. Again, we enjoyed more home cooking (meat balls!) and great conversation. Susan found a fellow tennis lover in Alma and they have a play date for Wednesday - hopefully it won't rain.
