Children's Easter Program

The children's choir had a wonderful Easter Program. They all did wonderful jobs and I was very proud of them.

I have been trying to read Hebrew a couple of times a week. I think I am improving a great deal. Now I recognize most of the words alot of the time. I still have words that are so strange that even after I have sounded them out they still sound "odd". But there is no way to get better than to practice.
Starting Thursday I will be working with another woman on a self study Hebrew course. We will see how that goes.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Well, we are back to reading with the original group plus I read three days a week with a single other person. Perhaps this way I can get reading in most days of the week.

I think I only have one or two more day's painting the apt for the kids. If I go tomorrow and paint the hall and the bathroom then I should be just about finished. I know we still have to trim out the window and A/c but I think that we are down to cabinets and Zeb is getting the floors tiled. Gosh we are almost finished and they can move in I would hazard to guess next week. He almost has the bottom cabinets finished and then he will just have to plumb the sink in. I know he still has to make the drawers and we need to go and get a piece of counter top. They have to plumb for the shower and get the commode and sink installed. Gosh... soon and very soon.

Back to Hebrew. After I finish with helping on the Apt. I will start spending one or two hours a day studying Hebrew. My new class starts in May so I only have a month or so to get it done. I would like to be stronger in vocab and perhaps go over the personal pronouns and verbal system. We will see how much I get done.

Our children's Choir sings their Passover program next Sunday. Boy the time has gone so fast and there is so little time to get it all pulled together. My grandson has his lines memorized and I think the others do also. They are so cute.

Then, on Monday my whole family will be here for Passover. Gosh, so much to do this week and I just realized that...LOL

I will write again soon.

Hebrew Reading Update

I have decided to step out of the Hebrew reading group that I have been reading with for the past few weeks.
Good news though, several of the others want to read without the restrictions to pay or teach. So, there will be several of us reading again. Now perhaps we can go back to just reading without all of the drama.

On a different note, we are getting closer to finishing our son, and his wife's, efficiency apt. I only lack the entry hall and the bathroom having it all mudded and a coat of primer on it. Today I got the living area primed and the ceiling finished. I also got the bathroom painted behind the commode before they got ready to set it. I think it is so tacky to have to pull a commode and no one put the effort out to paint behind it.
The bathroom will be red. Great color even if it is a small space. It needs something to give it some pizazz.
Monday I will paint the main living area a blue. The bedroom is finished except for the floor tile. When I am finished painting the entry hall then it can be tiled also. I am hoping that the bathroom can be tiled at the same time and when we are finished then we can tile the mail living area.

When we are finished I will have time to go back to studying my Hebrew more. Such is life, there are interruptions to my schedule.

Until next time.
