Good evening.

We heard from Rachel today. She is having a blast. She lost her sunglasses in Hezekiah's tunnel, thinks she broke her camera, and lost her camera case! But she still has her passport! Here are the places she's been/things she's seen:

Ramat Samuel (Samuel's High Place, or Mount Samuel) where Samuel's school of the prophets was.
Ramat Rachel.
the Shepherds Field
the birthplace of Christ
the Pool of Siloam
Hezekiah's tunnel
the Old City and the Western Wall

Right now they are in Eilat, which is on the Red Sea. She said she will be going back, and she will only have Moshe (pronounced mo-shay) as a tour guide; nobody else can give what he can. She is sleep-deprived, go figure, but says she wakes up excited for the day, and goes to bed sad that another day is over. Thanks for your continued prayers for her. Please pray she doesn't lose her passport! Crazy girl. She is just so excited that she gets a little careless. Please keep her in your prayers. Thank you.

Bryon and I are 'childless' this weekend. Rachel is out of the country, duh, and David is spending the weekend at Jennifer's again. So we are all alone. It is very quiet. Well, we do have the 3 dogs and 3 cats.........It feels strange to be all alone, but it is how life goes.

Don't forget to set your clocks back tonight. Yay! I get my hour back. I hate daylight savings time!! Like someone told me~~'only the government can take a blanket, lay it down, cut a foot off one end, add it to the other end, and say it is a longer blanket'!! I heard it said that daylight savings time causes global warming because we are making the sun shine an extra hour a day now. WHAT???? That ranks up there with one of the stupidest things I have ever heard!! David and I got a good laugh out of that one!! I mean, come on! Give me a break! I just wish they would leave it one way or the other. Changing our clocks twice a year is ridiculous!! Anyway, don't forget to set yours back before you go to bed.

Our weather is gorgeous! Today was an absolutely beautiful day. And they are predicting snow in a couple of days!! Our high is only expected to be 43* in the next couple of days!! Can't wait!

Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for visiting and checking up on David and the Koury Klan. Have a good night. Enjoy that extra hour!! God bless you all. We love you. <><
