Grandma cried today when she saw Mom and hugged her. I had never seen such a scene like that before. I knew that she was very excited for Mom but... it was just so... touching to see the two of them crying over seeing each other. They both ran to the bathroom to wipe off their tears.
I spent the day with Mom, just keeping her company since I didn't need to help Grandma. We were having our Shabbat dinner catered so all Grandma needed to do was to heat up the food. We got lost driving to this bakery on Emek Rafrim because Zev wasn't paying attention to where Grandma was driving. Mom got cranky and tired so we found our way back to the hotel and dropped her off. Then we made another attempt to figure out where we went wrong- Grandma didn't bear right towards Emek Rafrim when she was supposed to. Whatever- we were eventually covered for Passover desserts for the next 3 nights. The bakery was definitely packed.
Dad and Andrew arrived later. They had a wonderful time in Paris and told us what they did and ate. They actually kept Passover in Paris- didn't even eat any crossiants or eclairs!!! I could not have done it-especially with French pastries. Dad actually looked good- I almost didn't recognize him!
We had a nice Shabbat even though everyone was tired. I was ready to sleep after a crazy week traveling and exploring around Israel and Jerusalem!
