His Royal Badness has left the building. Yes, Prince has passed on. And the Sketchyscribe would be remiss if she did not address this sad, but real fact. He was a special man, much more complex that people realized. So much soul. I couldn’t find a lyric video on this song. Maybe one of our…
Hangin’ out with my kitty today having a quiet day at home. Laundry is almost finished. Fed the birds in the backyard. Now, we are just waiting for them to realize that they have more food. As always, I’m thinking about my sweet girls. I bought a few more owly things today. So far, its…
Learning to drive a car gives you an amazing sense of freedom. Even if you can’t speed off and go where you want, you know you CAN. So, this post and song is for my two beautiful gals driving behind the wheel. Take it slow. Bea, try to get a patient person to help you…
The story of Passover starts by a river. And perhaps the mother of Moses, Yocheved (pronounced Yo-he-ved) sang her newborn son a lullaby like this one. Mothers tend to do such things, especially when they are trying to comfort their child from a harsh reality of the world. The truth was that the King of…
Well, the first night dinner is over. Everyone stayed to help clean up. What an amazing night! They were so thankful to have a place to go tonight to enjoy the holiday. It was very relaxed. I had my shoes/socks off the whole dinner. I wanted everyone to be comfortable. They all brought gifts or…
This is just too amazing. I found this cute Passover parody of Taylor Swift (and Justin Beiber’s?) song “Blank Space.” I bet you both know it. So enjoy the “Blank Space.” Be “young and reckless” for a few minutes. We all need a release. Then, check out the parody. Hopefully, it will make my girlies…
The night before the first night of Passover, and I’m knee deep in preparation. My home is completely clean and free of chametz (bread products). Now, no more breaded fried food, no more pasta, no more bread, no more anything with corn starch. There is a ceremonial inspection for any last pieces of bread. We…
Now that Bea is learning to drive, I bought her an official sketchy scribe key chain. I’m using it for my house keys until I see you. They are hanging up in my house so they’ll stay nice for you. Big brother used the key/chain when he was visiting last. He’s doing ok. He was…
I don’t think I’ve ever told you about HOW I came to be Jewish. People still ask me why I decided to convert to Judaism. I guess it’s because (among lots of other reasons) I saw a better version of myself as a Jewish person. Twenty years later, I still do traditions (like getting my…
Less than a month until the play. The kids are painting sets, building backdrops and getting their lines down better. I really wish I had my two favorite girls here to help me look for costumes. I need a few sewers. No costuming class this rotation. Ordered a pizza tonight for dinner (can’t do THAT…
