It is Saturday morning here at Regba. We all woke up gradually this morning, most hungover from the night before. We all go sit upstairs. The boys lounge around in boxers. The kind that still have stripes and awkward patterns on them. We make some coffee and start to recap the night before. People slowly trickle out of the room . Outside is beautiful. An autumn day in Israel. Which looks more like spring. Some of the guys do the weekly haircutting. And I think to myself how lucky I am to think of these people as my family. Also thank god no one here is judging us because we are not a good looking crew in the mornings. haha.
Throughout this year more stories and weekly "fadichot" have been shared over hair trimming then I can remember. Some good some not so good. The guys will sit there and say things like "yea that sucks man" or " we had that same tirgul" And there is a familiarity in it all. A kind of knowing that our garin is sticking together. A type of knowing that even though the guys go through so much hard crap each week it is ok for a good laugh the weekends they do come home. On that Saturday morning.
I really cherish that about our makeshift family.
We fight we argue we insult each other, we run to the laundry before someone else can take it. In the end of the day I would rather argue with these people then be in agreeance with anyone else.
God I sound like a cliche. But it's ok.
On another note there are elections in Israel and America. In America it was clear to me who to vote for. In Israel it is a totally different story. There are tons different parties and each one seems more corrupt then the next. But I guess that is politics as a whole. I will be looking more into the political candidates today and will update you with my thoughts.
Wishing you a sweet November and soon it will be December when my mother comes to visit Yahhhhhhhhahahahayayayayayay!!!!
Lots of Love,
Hugs and haircuts,
Michali
