Lake Burton, Northeast Georgia, USA
Recently, we took a drive into the mountains of Georgia and stumbled upon Moccasin Creek State Park, the smallest state park in Georgia. Although the park is tiny, the views of Lake Burton and the surrounding mountains are lovely. We sat on a bench and then ventured out onto a dock to enjoy the fresh mountain air and beautiful scenery.
Small Challah Rolls, Kfar Saba, Israel
Unlike the USA, much of the retail commerce in Israel is done in small retail shops that often have residences above. At the bottom of an apartment building on Weizmann Street in Kfar Saba is a favorite little bakery. Not much wider than the doorposts through which we enter, this jam-packed bakery is filled with fresh-baked bourekas, breakfast pastries, cookies, cakes, challah, and these cute little baby challah rolls. When you desire the taste of challah in the middle of the week and want to wait for the Sabbath until your next full size challah, these little rolls are perfect!
Dusk, Alabama, USA
One of the marvels of flying is that you can see the sky unobstructed. Another marvel is that you can seemingly accelerate or retard the passage of time.
On this flight, we left Los Angeles after lunch and watched the sun set just three hours later.
Accented by the airplane's polarized windows, we were awestruck by the deep colors of the sky, the crescent moon, the last glimmers of the retiring sun, and the blanket of clouds sheltering the towns below. Moments like these are one of the reasons we love to fly.
Seagulls, Panama City Beach, Florida, USAThere is something wondrous about seagulls at the beach. We love listening to their calls and watching them fly majestically in the sea breeze.
Tractor, Coweta County, Georgia, USAWe're not real knowledgeable about farming or tractors, but something about this tractor attracted both of us to pull up and take a picture of it. Maybe it was how relatively clean and shiny it was, the apparent simplicity of its design, or how it was just parked out in a front yard. No matter what the reason was, it is part of our memories from a weekend drive.
