What a sweet surprise I got on Sunday morning when my phone rang and I picked it up to find my little grand daughter on the other end. She wanted to tell me that they had just made a batch of grapefruit juice using the grapefruit I had brought them from the tree in our backyard last I visited. She told me so much. I do believe this is our longest phone conversation to date.
She squeezed her grapefruit by hand and her brother used the machine.
I asked about school and she told me: "We have new math books!" (mind you they are just five and in kindergarden) But, she said, "we do not have homework yet". (Thank goodness!). "We are learning to read!" When I asked her how to say Good morning in Hebrew, she said "Boker Tov".
(that is correct!!!) So they are learning to read and write in Hebrew and English! They are off to Flordia for a vacation to Nana A. and Grandpa H.'s home for Passover! She told me they had a sedar at school and made seder plates in art class. I asked what she put on her sedar plate and she said "salt water". She said more but it was hard to hear all with brother drumming in the background. They are also going to go to the zoo in FL. And hope to see "elephants!"
Well, proud and happy grandma just had to share all that. She had to end the conversation as "I have to pee!" Don'tchajustloveem?
