Be'er Sheva from our hotel window..that pinkish hue that you see on the horizon is the color of the ever present desert sand in the air. Surprisingly you do not feel this on your skin or in your eyes.

It is good-bye to Israel for a period of time. I have thoroughly enjoyed every experience here...it is an interesting little country and the people are as unique as Israel.
The flight from Tel Aviv to Atlanta in the US is 13 hours in the air...that is at least 10 hours of misery I have to say...there is just not enough room for your limbs and yes, all that you've heard about airline food is the truth. It is not to be consumed~
Somewhere over the Atlantic I managed to pretzel my body into a modicum of comfort..shift my foot slightly, tilt my neck at just the right angle...and blissfully, lost consciousness for a *sigh* much too brief period of time.
We took a connecting flight from Atlanta to Boston and 15 hours later we are here. Make that 15 hours of fly time ...add to that the time it takes for security and customs checks, our travel time was almost 26 hours. Yes, traveling has become a test of patience and endurance skills.

We were was most thrilled to get to our hotel by the next day.

The city of Boston is exciting looking...easy on the eyes and promises much to see and do.

I will keep you all in my pocket.. and if you are in Canada a most Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving to you.. have some turkey for me.

White meat ~hold the cranberries.

I abhorr long-haul flights. It is so cramped - and I'm small, so it must be even worse for taller people. Next time, pre-order vegetarian food. It always tastes much better!

Your stay in Israel sounds exciting. I love coming home from other places with fresh impressions, that I immediately record in my sketch book (to be used for future bag projects).

best wishes,

Yes ...all of it leaves an impression that comes out somehow,be it purses, jewelry, cooking or decor~ its all good.
I'm small too and my knees grazed the seat ahead most of the flight. Do not know how larger people can stand it really~
Thanks for stopping in Duni ♥

For the love of Rocks

I come from a long line of dedicated rock hounds. I know that because my mother  told me this one day as we walked back from getting our mail in rural Port Alberni,  BC. The 10 minute walk was sometimes much longer as we searched out special  looking pebbles or of course, the'wishing stones' which on Vancouver Island were  usually granite with a skinny stripe of quartz that encircled the entire stone. My beautiful mother who we lost in July 2023. My older sister and I. We've been lucky to bring back precious [to me] earth stones from many parts of  the world.   Lake Tiberias in Israel, Persian Gulf area, Dingle, Ireland, Isle of Sky area,  Edinburgh,  and Inverness areas in Scotland, a walk back to our hotel in  Strasbourg,  France.  The Levent Valley near Malatya, Turkey sometimes referred to as the Grand  Canyons of the Anatolia. The stone in my palm almost always brings back the day.  My regret is that I didn't label th...

Win yourself a handmade glass bead!

I'm feeling a little guilty for being so completely absent from you all for the last couple of months... the above focal bead is my way of winning your hearts back. ;) ♥ Leave me a comment and you'll go into a draw for the above bead. I will announce a winner in a week or so~ ♥ It seems my marriage has gone the way of many before me and we are now struggling with the transition of becoming single people. ( Notice how I've avoided the d word? I'll tackle that one another day...:) I've had to supplement my glass with a more regular pay cheque and my balancing time skills have been put to the test. So...that's the reason for my sketchy, delayed, absent minded, half hearted and bemused posts lately. And while some things may be taking a back seat for a time..(for instance this blog will be lucky to get a weekly posting! although I do pop on to read all of your comments) I will find my way through this and be stronger ..
