The world may be aflame, but there's always a beach somewhere, beckoning to those who favor denial and SPF 30. There's hard work to be done, though; like protecting one's hydrophobic spouse from the Pacific Surf,
or posing for pictures with your family at sunset . . .
And when you get tired of your picture being taken, you can always do as my nieces did:
and pretend you're on a fashion shoot . . .
And you can catch that rarest of moments, when an entire family is together in the same place, indulging, imbibing, relaxing and forgetting . . .
And remembering . . .
--T.A.
Were there 20 of you? Did I count right? Gabe is now as tall as Galit! And those fashion-shoot maidens, Wow! The photos have that lovely salt water and sun-soaked ambience! Glad to share the pleasure!
Love Mom

I actually ordered some of those. You and Galit look great -- all five of you do.

Now what about the Bar Mitzvah pictures??

Is that a "Shark Nerds" t-shirt on the little boy in the middle? (You know, based on the Far Side cartoon?) I used to have one of those.

These are the moments to treasure up. Beautiful family.
i bet you wish you were on ~some beach, some where~(referencing a country song, here)since Chicago looks to be as cold as the NEK- we've not been above zero for two or three days, now. We had -30 yesterday a.m. and -28 this a.m. Yup- a beach and spf30 would be so nice...
