What indeed?
This is the only time my husband and I just relax and enjoy each other's company. You are so right G-d gave us the Shabbot.

nail on the head
I agree completely with everything you said. I honestly feel sorry for the people who do not observe Shabbat. It is a time to reconnect and regenerate in every way. Thank you for always knowing what and how to say it. I look forward to "Lori, Almost Live!"
