Weekly Update 7/13/2018

I know I wasn’t going to update until I returned from KC, but I did more this week than I’ve done all together total since mid-June. So I’ll update with a few photos now.

Jane and I went to Congregation Mickve on Wednesday. Jane had never toured it, and was interested; I’ve been there before, and I’m still interested. Not only that, but Wednesday was the 285^th anniversary of Jews in Savannah, as it was on this date in 1733 when a boatload were welcomed at the port of Savannah. There’s a lot of history here, and the temple has a museum of artifacts that were brought over on that ship, including two scrolls that date to the 1400s.

Wednesday was also the date of the semi final game in the World Cup. England was still in it, and I was excited to watch them play Croatia. I thought about going to a pub to get some bangers and mash or fish and chips to go, and take them home to enjoy while watching the game. But I settled for Guinness beer and a homemade jacket potato from the Publix. And I didn’t enjoy it much, as England lost in double overtime.  

Thursday, I met a few ladies from lunch bunch for a birthday celebration for Connie. We went to the Vault, which was a wonderful choice. I’m not going to be able to attend the next “regular meeting” because I’ll be away, so I was included in this nice gathering. It was great.  

Friday, I was enjoying a drink with Kay at The 90, and suddenly, the lights went out! They lit candles on the bar, which was rather unnecessary as everyone had flashlights on the phones. But it added to the romantic atmosphere.
