29 Tishrei For the first time in what seems like ages, the women's group met to weave, sew and make baskets. Of course, we were also finishing plans for the return of the pilgrims tomorrow. Milchah says the Greek ladies have a word for doing two things at once, (they have a word for everything, it seems). They call it "multitasking" I just call it "doing what women do best!"
As always, Aunt Tirzah is organising the women and Uncle Shaul the men. The elders will be washing the men's feet and, of course, their wives will take care of the women. It is only polite, we do it whenever we have visitors, but this time we are welcoming our own who have traveled a long way.
Milchah will be cooking her "crispy things" which have become a firm favorite with everyone. Devorah will look after Silas for the day to free her up as there is a whole village to cook for. Rivkah and Miri will look after the twins as they will have to stay away from the cooking since they have been unwell. They all seem to be ok now, but we will not take any chances it would be a shame for people to come home and to fall ill. They can feed the babies from the bottles Miriam sent if I can organise myself properly. They really enjoy that and I must admit it is nice to have a break sometimes. Don't get me wrong, it's my favorite job, but two babies can get a little much now and then! (Don't tell anyone, but even Shmuel enjoyed feeding Zippi the other night when they were poorly and would not sleep, it was only honey water, but still...)
