Visit Israel
Don't forget that Israel welcomes americans regardless of family members getting married or not :)
You are all welcomed, and we would like to officially invite you to come and visit us in Israel on October, after Megan and Kevin's wedding!
... No need to worry about hotels, we have plenty of room for every one. We will take care of everything, including the weather, you only need to show up.
love
Dalia and Oddi

It sounds wonderful! But Gary and I will have to talk about it. I know that Matt and Kevin & Megan will still be in the midst of classes, so this time of year would be difficult for them. As to Gary and myself, we'll have to see. It it is at all possible, we'll be there. Thank you again for the generous invitation. More later.
October means it's the holidays, right? I guess we have twice as many holidays to celebrate now. Between the American, Israeli, and Canadian holidays we only have to work every second Tuesday of the month I think ;).
This would be a great time, so yeah, if you can do it. There's lots to do, and you don't have to drive very far to do it.
a little funny text i got my hands on...
"The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby
English will be the official language of the European Union rather
than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the
negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling
had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan
that would become known as "Euro-English."
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c." Sertainly, this
will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be
dropped in favour of "k." This should klear up konfusion, and
keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like
fotograf 20 persent shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expected
to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the
horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it
should go away.
By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th"
with "z," and "w" with "v." During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan
be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav
a reil sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza.
Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
If zis mad you smil pleas pas on to oza pepl. Zen ve vil rul ze
world!!"
That's pretty funny, Ron. It seems that there is a place in here at which the text switches from just plain bad spelling to something like "Euro-English". I can't really tell where it is, because sadly, I see many of the mistakes I make myself in there.
You know, I think that as you get toward the end of this, you start to approximate about how bad my hebrew spelling is.
try reading it out loud. at the end it sounds like german, which is the former official language of the European Union (see 1st paragraph)...
