Weekend

This was a great busy weekend. I worked all day Friday and I got an iPhone saturday that I love!! Now I can blog on my iPhone!

Here is something I wrote about visiting my grandparents last summer:

I looked back at my grandparent’s bleak apartment cautiously, trying to absorb the past two months of my vacation in Israel into my memory in those last minutes. I sulked into my bedroom for a brief time, trying to soak in its atmosphere, since I will not feel it around me for a while. The white bed with the peeling paint on it was standing against the white wall that is covered by a flowering brown rug. The bed spread matches the rug with its brown flowered decorations, two little drawer’s stand next to the bed and a white dress towers over them on the left side. It is not a beautiful picture but it was mine for a time. I was trying to preserve a photo like image because I had treasured that vacation so dearly, I did not want to leave, let alone forget it. It felt like I was never there. The flimsy white door bounced back to me after a slammed it in frustration. I figured that this would be the last time I ever saw this room. I had to preserve it in my mind, because the little details are what made the trip so complete.
