Sorry, a little web humor there for you.
Today we said goodbye to my parents and drove North out of Las Vegas. Here we are at sunset along the road:
We are overnighting in Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge. There are dispersed campsites along the shore of one of the lakes in the refuge. We arrived after dark, so I can’t say it’s pretty here, but I have my suspicions…
See the trip map for today’s drive.
M’s bar mitzvah over Shabbos was a tremendous success. Last week, Trish and B prepared the lunch for the shul, and about 90 people showed up. M read the Torah very well and gave a nice pshetl as well.
This morning, I took our friend Rabbi M back to the airport. He came in from Monsey for the Bar Mitzvah, which was really great.
After getting back form the airport, I managed to catch a 40ish mile club ride with the Green Valley Cyclists. The ride fragmented into an A group and a B group, and I managed to stay up front for most of the ride. There were about 20 riders, and it was nice to get back into pace line riding.
Later in the day, we said goodbye to my brother and his daughters, who had flown in for the Bar Mitzvah:
Today I finished the shelving in M’s bedroom:
We moved the RV to my parents’ house for the night. We hope to leave Las Vegas tomorrow, heading for cooler climes.
M wore his hat for the first time today:
We moved out of Duck Creek RV park to my parents’ synagogue for Shabbos. Good Shabbos from Henderson, Nevada! M’s bar mitzvah is tomorrow!
This morning we drove out to Jean Lake for my third flight there:
Out of the seat, coming in for a landing:
Here’s a video of the flight:
Tricia’s high school friend Joe happened to be in town so he came out to spectate:
M continues to practice for his bar mitzvah. Zaidy taped together M’s portion for him so he can read it as if it’s the actual Torah scroll:
This afternoon I completed the shelves for B’s half of the room:
Trish soldiered on making deserts for the Bar Mitzvah:
Only two more days until the big event!
An article here talks about a PPG used to announce Shabbos over the beaches of Tel-Aviv:
It’s a creative use of a PPG!
