Do you still remember this kind of TV design - the late 60's I think :-) My family had TV, only at the 70's though... Here is a sideshow done with photos taken yesterday at Green - Day, at Yarin's school - "AMIRIM" , to celebrate Tu B'SHvat. Please feel free to enjoy :-) and be part of the show... Thank you for being here, part of my blog'S readers ... My LOVE to you...Good night from Israel. May your dreams be in the colours of your life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My personal STAR...Miriam music teacher at school...When Yarin started school, the first thing she said to him, she admire my son Saar...Now,she enjoy Yarin as well...and as I can tell from viewing her with kids, she's one of the most delicate persons I ever seen, she was born to work with kids,I can tell you.She was born in Ukraine, by the way, there she played the Violin. Here she dressed in GREEN ,Like everyone in GREEN-DAY At school...YESTERDAY !!!
and...Here is Zohar Zamir and her son Tomer. Tomer used to be Yarin's friend in kindergarten...and this is how I met Zohar. Zohar is a splendid mother, a wonderful warm person, and a standupistit = comedian, person who entertains with jokes and funny stories . She volunteer this year to arrange the kids for the Green day's show. She wrote herself the text and lyrics, so that it will talk more to the kids. She's really AMAZING, Yet modest person.
Haya Homotsani (I hope I write correct your name in English :-)my dear friend, whom I got to know since our kids used to learn at the same class, and were very close friends as well...Amit and Saar. Amit by the way become my best fan from the kids I know. These days, Haya's daughter, May is learning with Yarin at the same class. Haya is a teacher, and she do a bit art, as an hobby...About a week ago, she came to my studio to help me cut for the kids the Poligal bases for the bushes I made for them for their Green- day, yesterday at school (20).
Here is a photo of those bushes . Base : made of what we call Poligal. Leafs: made of What we call Sol . Sticks : You guess correct, somehow :-)..NOT ME, Connected it to the bushes...another story to tell ,perhaps...So Tsvika connected it (Home father of school )
If you'll say those bushes looks more like palm trees..I'll have to agree...But of course everyone just love them at school... I worked on them about 14 hours.
So...For Haya, that helped me... Here is a photo of roosters, that I took in London ... just because I thought of YOU, Haya, while I saw them... knowing that you collect and LOVE them so much. AND...As I promise it to you, since I know you're doing one now...So for your inspiration , with LOVE :
It was taken through the window
THANK YOU HAYA'LE YOU ARE WONDERFUL...SEE YOU TOMORROW.

Best wishes for ALL the viewers of my blog...Thank you !!!
Hello to you my friends, viewers of my blog It is Israeli afternoon here, and my cat, Silk is dreaming above my screen :-)...I'm here with a cup of tea and my Silk. Yes..Lately I started to drink much more tea then any kind of coffee. I found out that the coffee make me more tired, TRULY...Sometimes you can read research about this subject...but this time...I did my own research on the subject. I still drink coffee or Nes- cafe...but MORE TEA. Today my post will be dedicated to the kids in Yarin's class who came to visit us , in order to make the Noah's Ark..as some of you, surely saw yesterday on my portfolio. I new from the first Parents day, this school year, in September...that I wish to take part in this project with kids...as I did with my son, Saar. Yarin knew that too...and was asking me, when this project is going to be happened. It seems to me, Yarin is truly enjoy the stories of the bible, as well as other things he studies at school...as he usually share with me, everyday. SO...the time have come...and he was telling me,they were studying about the Noah Ark. On Jan, 2nd, 2008 few kids from his class came to visit us and work together on this project. Came to visit, Michela, Iftach, Lee and Shon..and together with Yarin, they made the work, themselves. Here you can see my Yarin at 4:20 p.m waiting for his friends to attend around 4:30 p.m.
As you could see in the first photo, it was still light outside, around the time the kids were supposed to arrived. And ..YES..While he was waiting... he was playing and organizing those sticks, YES...On my Blue table in our living- room.
And, what do you think me , Nira did at that time of waiting. Of - course..you are right :-) !!!!!!... I was preparing my camera..as well as I was preparing Yarin to the fact, I'm going to take photos also... As I looked from the windows upon my everyday view...once more, I enjoy the picture that I saw there. Everyday...each hour minute..the colours and lighting is changing...and there are so many times minutes that, I so much enjoy this picture, my everyday picture from our windows. So, here is a photo, that I took just before the kids arrived.
At last at 4:40, all kids were at our apartment and they started the project... Most of them did more or less, from each part of the process, while the girls, started with gluing those sticks, the boys started with the Clay animals...but then Yarin helped a bit with the sticks and Michaela with the clay Giraffes. They ALL took part in painting. It seems ALL kids REALLY Very much enjoyed themselves, they worked wonderfully,very seriously. Here are few photos of these charming kids at work
and...When I asked the kids...would you like to make a break to eat & drink something..I meant snacks.. My son Yarin, surprised me with YES...an apple :-)... SO, Yarin wished for his apple peeled and cut to 4 pieces... AND... Lee wished for her apple peeled, but not cut :-) She maybe ate half of it :-) AND...Iftach ate it with it's Red peel. Michaela wished for biscuits in shapes of animals. Shon was still busy in Kitchen making Noah from Clay :-)...But then he came too.
AND...Who wishes to eat also animal shaped biscuits ???... Everyone,including Michaela :-)... but Yarin...
HAVING FUN...ARE YOU KIDS.. ?... :-)
As you perhaps noticed the kids wear sweatshirts with logos..it's the school logo. I remember when I was a kid and we had uniform , we disliked it..and always in the afternoon wear other cloths, nowadays...they seems to enjoy their " UNIFORM ", Which is colourful as can be seen here...Well Shon changed his cloths to FOX..Perhaps to recommend you to view the news at FOX channel...just kidding ;-) BUT..Of course you can give a try to FOX news.
And...here is the end result on our window, 2 days ago. Today they showed it at school... All groups of kids made really great works.
As you could see a bit from my windows, it's Winter here...for me, even cold ...but it's a wonderful weather outside,considered Winter. Soon I'll be out to bring my Yarin from D & D - Dungeons & Dragons..... Have yourself a splendid day and a great 2008, may it be filled with realization of your dreams fully. With HEALTH, Which is most important factor of our life, and we sometimes forgetting it...AND Always...WITH LOVE, BECAUSE IT'S LIFE... Thanks for viewing my blog...thank you for being part of my life, NIRA .
