On their trip from Las Vegas (home of the “Gladius” horse show created by their equestrian performer/impresario son, Erik) to Colorado and new grandson, Max Power, Noel and Yossi M. stopped for a few days at HG/BSK’s New Mexico. Noel is BSK’s sister. Her husband, Yossi is a former Israeili paratrooper, manager of a kibbutz banana plantation, expert equestrian, special education teacher (in Colorado); musician, unconventional Cantor and conductor of Jewish religious services. He and Noel live at their verdant Ocean Mist Farm near the south shore of Prince Edward Island. Yossi (forgot to mention) is an expert agriculturist and keeps HG/BSK supplied with an avalanche of potatoes, fresh garlic, berries and much more. Noel is a self taught carpenter, architect, designer, handyperson. She has done wonders with their farmhouse home, barn, outbuildings in addition to raising sheep, pigs and coaching “Vaulting.” This is a sport involving doing acrobatics on quick moving, big horses. (You’ve got to see it to believe it). Anyway, their visit with HG/BSK was a joy and BSK cooked some great comfort dinners: A variation of Mariscada, Mapo Tofu. Shakshuka. (Spanish, Chinese, Israeli—BSK is international). Toby, The Wonder Dog, was ecstatic while accompanying Noel. She’s one of his favorite humans. Super smart doggy.
Thank you HG. It was indeed a wonderful visit.
Happy New Year !!!
Love, Yossi
