  • 17 years and I miss my father every day

    My father passed away 17 years ago, today (at least based on the Hebrew calendar – he passed away on 12 July 2003). This week we also join our cousins, and aunt in mourning our uncle who passed away last week.

  • My blog is 14 years old, today, and it’s a big day for blogging

    A cake for anniversaries

    Today is a Big DayTM For Blogging, but probably only for me. Today is this blog’s 14th birthday!

  • Its been a year already

    Its been a year since my brother-in-law, Cliff Hoffmann, passed away. Its fitting that today is such a sombre day here in Johannesburg. I took the photo below at a lunch at Gina’s late grandmother, Granny Ruby, on the 2nd of January 2011. I remember that day being a pretty good day. We were visiting […]
