Welcome Passover

Passover starts tonight at sundown. I have been cooking and cleaning for what seems like weeks. Here at 8:00 am I have a sponge cake in the oven and matza balls cooking too. Tonight's main course and tomorrow's main course are already cooked. They just need reheating. The fish course, chopped liver and everything else that can be made ahead has been made. Tonight we will be 15 people for a 5 course sit down dinner. Tomorrow we will be 22 for the same. Please understand I am not doing this alone. Both of my daughters are doing the same amount of work, cooking and cleaning. We have divided up the cooking chores, but each of us does our own housework. Tonight it all gets put together. Those of you who read this post and are joining us... Welcome.
For those who can not join us... You will be missed.

"Let all who are hungry come in and eat"

Thoughts

Today would have been my mothers 93 birthday. She died 13 years ago just days before she turned 80. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I grew up in an abusive household so her passing didn't effect me the way many other people are effected by a parents death. I guess the best thing I can say here is... May she rest in peace. God knows she never had any when she was alive.

Here again

As it always seems to be, things have been busy. Last Friday we went to a yarn retreat and sold lots of yarn. I will post a pic of our booth at some point. I am bust=y getting ready for Passover. We are holding the two Seders at my daughters house this year. It is strange to be carting stuff between houses. But, it's the only way it works. This year on the first night 15 people and the second night there will be 22 people. Think about that for a minute: 15 one night and 22 people on the other for a multi- course dinner cooked and served by my daughters and me.
By multi- course I mean we will be serving 5 courses each night, not including the Seder Service which has a few things to eat. We start with hard boiled eggs, followed by gifilta fish/ chopped liver, then chicken soup with matzo balls. Then the main course with all the trimmings and of course a dessert. WOW!!!!!

Kona, my dog, is doing really well.



You can see she has put on weight. Her ribs aren't sticking out anymore.



And who doesn't love that face? She is very playful and sweet. She is becoming a great dog for us. However, she thinks Asher tastes great. She is always licking him.

Job search

Looking for a job is depressing. But, I keep filling out applications. I would really like to be retired. I can do that in a few more years. Until then I keep filling out apps and going on interviews.Send me some good vibes.
