When in Rome...

Purim in Toronto was a week-end extravaganza. Our theme this year was "Survivor - Galus through the ages."

Rooks joined our team on Thursday, and the Balabans arrived Friday afternoon.

Preparations for Shabbos and for our themed feasts got underway. Rooks was a big help with the grocery shopping...


and the girls found something that would be put to good use!



As things heated up in the house, outside, the weather was wild!

Our first Nisayom of the weekend occurred Friday evening. The toaster oven was left on broil by accident. Gam vu l'tova... out of all this we "met" a neighbor whom we invited to join our festivities on Sunday thanks to Rooks!


Instead of sitting at the table as usual, we reclined on couches for the meal. The meal began with Roman bread and the spirits flowed!


We posted several sayings in Latin around the house. Our theme for the day, was on the front door.


"Do you own a skinny orange cat?" Naw, not us!



Not only did we "survive" the weekend, we had a great time doing it! L'shana habah....
