We settled quite nicely into our little group of friends. We'd meet every Friday night at the Java Joint, have the lattes of our choice, and play dominoes to our hearts content. It was such a great time in all our lives and we often look back fondly on those memories.
In June of that year, Robert and Mike took a trip to Israel. What an experience it was for them, and us ladies waited with great anticipation for two weeks for them to get home. They even sent us postcards from Jerusalem.
Finally, they arrived home baring many tales and many gifts for their fair friends. There's a spiritual change that takes place when people go to Israel. Christians cherish the experience to walk where Christ has walked and to visit the garden tomb. It was such a great night seeing the pictures and hearing the stories. The gentlemen gave each of us a tapestry bag with a scene of Israel embroidered on it, lotion from Ahava, and a necklace. Little did we know that Mike had purchased a special gift for a special lady that had caught his fancy. He kept his secret for six months...
