Ot thursday morning notes from Haifa under the rockets

YES that is the MOOD May all terrorists crawl back into the dark
place they came from ,, pox ,,, i like that !!!
Don`t thank me for the posts i thank you lot for wanting to know we
are ok. It means a lot.. there are so many people who think different.


A year ago i joked that eventualy , all will have to undress before
Flying , and put on a see through nylon overall ,,,, Don`t laugh it
might come close to this ....
maybe we all have to start growing horses again ,,,,,Of course the
people in Australia could train a kanguru , the pockrt might be
usefull ,,,
. A pox on the terrorists! Even
though we don't want to let them change our lives, they're managing to do it
anyway.
That is what i keep telling people on various ngs and lists, That
teror is a cancer , that one can`t stop , but one can minimize the
dammage ,,,,
I look forward to your posts everyday, to hear how you're doing, and know
that you're safe.
Thank you , i am happy i can write, i feel snug in my little shelter.
When i can i slip up for my warp,, I am really in a LUXERY situation
compared to people in Nahriya , kiryat Shmona etc,,
I am in Luxery compared to the over 400000 evacuated people ..
On a happier note, I have my granddaughter visiting me for 3 weeks now, and
I am curious if she will be happy with it this time ,,,
best wishes mirjam


she wants me to try to teach her how to knit. We tried 2 years ago, but she
just found it too difficult. Now that she's nine, maybe it will be a little
easier. (smile).

Knitting hugs to you Mirjam.

Thank you Joan , i don`t think my messages are special , i am just
lucky that i have you kind people who want to read and support me with
their kind words. In times like this it helps.
There is so much pain and grief , In Majdal _Khrum today a Jung mother
and her 5 year old boy were killed from a direct hit .. and the toll
grows ,,,
Haifa and the whole North of Israel , are indeed the MOST beautiful
part[s],, The mountains are very male mountaind , with spikes and
triangular forms unlike the Jerusalem [ boom in the north ] that are
more female , more soft and rounded.
All water sources are up north here ,, it is green it is friendly , it
has many animals Villages , i have lived here abouts since 1952 ,,
this is my home ground . I walked the paths , i saw it develope from
small huts to beautiful high tech or Touring places...
It is full with History it kisses the mediterenean and hugs the sea of
Gallille , it has 23 ruins of Old Synagues from BC times, it has
Crusader`s ruins , Roman ruins ,,, every part of history is
represented ,,The people are friendly , My Tel-Aviv Friends say it is
another world ,,, Everybody talks with everybody ..
And the Nature is LOVELY .
WE have a lot of Industry Alas not enough work, and a very mixed
society , Haifa built on the moutain has suburbs that are separated
bt wadis m hence you get the impression you live in a village at many
parts. The mountain is dominant but so is the sea ,, We have the
Technion [ technical university ] and a GREAT university ,,, BEST
city in the country.
Keep safe and keep writing to us when you can. Unfortuately, thanks to
all of this, those of us who have never been to Haifa and the
surrounding countryside have gotten to see it, live on television.
hahah i told you it is beautiful !!!
We also have our own local humour .

from Haifa on mount Carmel

....and would you believe, this past Tuesday my husband and I purchased
two tickets from the U.S. to London! We're going to England for our
first time in a couple weeks. We keep telling family and friends,
"We're not on any of the airlines that were targeted AND at least we can
be relieved to know that security will be really good." The problem is,
we'll have to arrive a day in advance to actually get through security!

Does El-Al fly from NY to London? They're suppose to be the safest
airline on the planet and I could really use that comfort right now. ;-)

BTW-Mirjam, though I don't post or read daily, I do make it a point to
search you out and make sure you're okay and still posting everyday. :-)

Take care of yourself,
Jenn

Have a great trip, Jenn! We can't let terrorists rule our lives, can we? I
know that Mirjam doesn't.

Thank you Sofia , just answered you
mirjam
+ coffee after 5 alarms ,,,,
All eyes are now for a change on Heathrow ,,

Mirjam, thanks to your post, I've now read the news on Heathrow. So, now
cabin luggage is banned from flights coming from Britain. Good grief, I
guess it's time to start driving everywhere, except the gas is getting so
expensive, it's hard to do that either. A pox on the terrorists! Even
though we don't want to let them change our lives, they're managing to do it
anyway.

I look forward to your posts everyday, to hear how you're doing, and know
that you're safe.

On a happier note, I have my granddaughter visiting me for 3 weeks now, and
she wants me to try to teach her how to knit. We tried 2 years ago, but she
just found it too difficult. Now that she's nine, maybe it will be a little
easier. (smile).

Knitting hugs to you Mirjam.

Shelagh,
It's been suggested that ALL flights be nudist, that way NO ONE can
hide anything anywhere.....

Mirjam,
I've heard the suggestion before about NUDIST flights, AND the
suggestion that instead of 'expensive' Flight Marshalls on every
flight, a piglet aboard every flight, as a terrorist finds it
abhorrant to die with 'swine'....
Love,
Noreen
