יום העצמאות barbecue

Yesterday and my Family And I went to כפר עציון to do a barbecue. While the food was cooking me and my father played baseball. At the beginning we stood close to each other and played catch and we practiced a little bit then we each threw 5 good throws and after that each of us went back a step and when we finished Playing the food was ready.
I ate a little and after a couple of hours we left and on the way home i said that i got much better at baseball.
When we got home my mother started making some muffins and i was taking out the muffin wrappers my mother dropped a almond and i caught it between the wrappers. Thats a proof that i got better at baseball.

Shaltiel, WITTY story! You have a clever sense of humor! You connected the baseball practice with muffin baking. That is creative! We wish we could have been there to see you catch that almond!
For you, catching flying objects is a "piece of cake". Those are my comments in a "nutshell". :)
Love,
Bubbe

Shaltiel,
You already were so good at baseball, but it appears that now you are even better--you can even catch almonds! Keep practicing with Abba, and you will be a star player!
Love,
Zayde

Shaltiel,

Grandpa and I loved your story about your barbecue.

Many years ago we had barbecues almost every week in our back yard. Abba was a young boy like you and he came with his baseball glove and Zayde practiced with him. Those were good lessons because Abba not only learned to play, but he also learned to be an expert in teaching you how to be a good player and have fun.

Bubbe and usually Bubbe's brother, your Uncle Stu, and Aunt Arleen came with your cousins Lorraine and Andrew and Renee. They were very little then and loved to see their big cousin Avi play.

For the barbecue, we ate chicken,hamburgers and franks on rolls.

Grandpa always took movies and some day you will visit and be able to see how Abba looked as he played ball.

I will say that your experience being able to retrieve the almond was really unique. That's proof of the saying "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT".

Love,
Grandpa and Grandma
