My eldest son's girlfriend, Hila, celebrated her 23rd birthday at the end of
June. My son, Nadav, sent me a favourite photo of the two of them together,
and asked me to make Hila a birthday card based on it.
Hila and Nadav spent some time travelling in the Far East earlier this year.
They visited Hội An, a city in Vietnam known for its well-preserved
ancient town, and also for its workshops and tailors where you can have
custom-made clothes made. Hila and Nadav decided to do a cooking workshop
together and, on their second day in the city, they joined the workshop of a
woman named Hon, along with two more Israeli families and a Dutch couple. Hon
is apparently well known among Israelis!
They started the workshop with a tour of the local market. Hon explained to
them about local fruits and vegetables, many of which they didn't recognise
and are not available in Israel. Then, in the workshop they prepared, among
other things, spring rolls wrapped in thin rice wrappers and filled with a
variety of fresh vegetables, and egg rolls with a cooked filling and wrapped
in a fried, crispy wrapper. This is what they are holding in the photo Nadav
shared with me.
I have shown Hila and Nadav wearing the black aprons they were supplied with
at the cooking workshop. They are proudly holding the results of their hard
work! I added a big number 23 to mark Hila's age. The Hebrew greeting says
"Happy Birthday Hila ❤".
They both look happy enough with the card!

You have a fine looking son and he has a lovely girlfriend. They look like a happy couple!
Thank you for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2024/11/bushmills-distillery.html, and I wish you and your family - and your country - peace.
They are a handsome couple and look so happy together. I love the card and history. The trip to Viet Nam sounds remarkable with the workshop.
Congrats to the girlfriend and its awesome of you to make such a lovely card for her.

So special! I'm sure the birthday girl appreciated all you did for her!
What a gorgeous card and it sounds like they had a great trip! Such a lovely couple! The cooking workshop sounds so interesting.
Aw, that is a fabulous card of a wonderful memory for them both!
Doing a cooking workshop in Vietnam is a wonderful idea. I wonder if many young couples would choose to do that while travelling away from home.
They make a lovely couple and the workshop sounds fantastic. We did a similar one in India and loved every minute. I'm sure the card will be treasured. xx
A cooking workshop in another country sounds like a fun and interesting thing to do. They both look very happy with the results of their cookery and your beautiful card.
Their trip sounds so fun! What a sweet gift from Nadav to Hila!
Awww, to be 23 again! That's a beautiful card Lisa. They look so happy together. x 😊
