Where does the time go

I am sitting here looking at the calendar and just like 4 years ago I am wondering where the time went?

So here I am with 56 days to go until Nativ 30 will be history and Ash will be home.

I know how is it that 7 months have already passed since she left? but it true. and I know what she has been doing but what worries me now is what I have been doing or what I have been doing with her room.,..

So what has happened since she left... well I have managed to fill her room up with stuff... now some of this is stuff that I have been mailing to her since she has left but the rest is well.... storage. So it's time to move it out and make room for Ash to move back into her room. But that will only be for a short while becasue she might come back in 56 days . She leaves again for Camp Ramah in 72 days

and then just 142 days from today she is off again to Sonoma State everything seems to be moving so fast.

a rite of passage

They have waited many years for this, to be in Machon to have that last moment in the sun to be the Big Kids on the block!

To have a week away from camp roughing it, communing with nature and finding out what you are madeof. And as the end of the week is near the moment all of Machon has been waiting for has arrived... as you walk back from the beach... through the muck and the MUD.... The MUD we need a bath... oh do we need a bath.... we need a mud bath!!!!!!!!!!!

And after our bath we will march back in to camp with one mission in mind...

(and it is not real showers)

IT IS GET THE LITTLE KIDS MUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe this is my last year

It's that time of year again.... we are off to camp
So for the last week we have been packing ... our last dinner (Pizza Cookery) and then that time finally came.


Minyon with Bubbie and when we came out of the synagogue there were the busses. So we got her luggage over to the bus and checked her in and then the reality hit ...."this is my last year" next year is pilgramage and then I come back as a counselor, "this is my last year".

So she is off to camp and witing for your letters...
