Now that Yom Kippur is over, we have a holiday called the Festival of Booths. You see, sweet sisters, the Israelites were (and still are) farmers. Every year at harvest time, the farmers would go out into the fields to collect their crops. Most fields were HUGE. So, the Israelites would construct booths or succot…
World Peace is the theme tonight on Sketchy Scribe. If we could aside our differences (and I KNOW how hard that can be) and see how similar we all really are. We all call this beautiful place home. The best way to get over being angry at someone is to see a little of yourself…
Plan A: Love and help the children as well as I can for as long as I can. Expired: December 25, 2013 But, I saw this today and it made me think…yeah! There ARE 25 more letters in the alphabet. OK – So Plan B is in full effect. And if Plan B fails…I’ll move…
I had a good day today. I saw my friend, Mavican. We had an early dinner and did some window shopping at Victoria Gardens. She bought me my mermaid fins. You’ve maybe seen them. The fins are actually an afghan (blanket) knitted into the shape of a fish fin. Pretty cool, huh?! I got it…

My Dearest Bea, I’m so excited for you…sweet sixteen gal. Life is opening up and it can be wonderful. Please believe that. The one thing you can be sure of is change. Things are going to change once you get your license. You’ll feel the power to go wherever you choose to go. There’s nothing…
Good evening my sweet sisters. I hope you are well and happy. I had a good day at work today. My kids were (mostly) good for the guest teacher yesterday. Tomorrow night, I’m having dinner with another friend – the one from college. Mavican Hawk comments on our website from time to time. She has…
Ugh! Coffee takes soooooo good after a fast. Fasts make you realize how lucky you are. They focus you on the NOW. While they are going on, you must be self disciplined enough to say, “No, I won’t eat anything.” You realize how much you DO have day after day. You also cannot help but…
The gals had a ball trying to hit the fellas with the paint balls. Unfortunately, the fellas were all just better marksmen. “The men rule,” said the commander proudly after all the girls were pronounced “dead.” “And they drool,”said Tracy resurrecting herself from the floor of gravity created on the Sports Deck. “We had fun!…
The next several hours were a blast! Prudence had brought her scrapbook suitcase with her. The girls looked at what Prudence had worked on so far in their individual scrapbooks. “You haven’t gotten too far,” said Bea. “No, the website keeps me pretty busy,” replied Prudence. “Maybe if we help you, the job won’t be…
