Chanukah
Our home is in full gear getting ready for Chanukah. We are planning the treats we will make and counting down the days. There has been some controversy about Chanukah because it is not listed as a biblical feast. The “miracle” of the oil cannot be substantiated with historical evidence. The nine candle menorah is […]

We had a delightful time this afternoon making an “India” box. We will put our change in it, and then send the money to GCGM orphanage in India. We started with a box from dishwasher detergent packs. Then the kids drew pictures of things that make them think of India. We have tigers, […]
