Ganesha

Image
Last week we had an evening of Synchronicity. One of the things that came out of it was the thought to pick up a Ganesha the Hindu God of removing Obstacles.  We were not sure where to obtain one, but then I thought of the India Sweets & Spices in town. They had them - yay!  We have placed him in a comfy spot of prestige in hopes that he can assist getting a few things moving for us!

The most awesome chair EVER!

Funerary Customs- The Jewish funeral

Easter Earthquake 2010

Image
Yeah. .  we felt it here. I was like a rocking boat, but went on for so long that even those of us gathered at my place for Easter that are veteran Earthquake survivors (which for me means San Fernando Feb 9 1971 as well as Northridge Jan 17 1994)  Held our breath a minute hoping we would not feel the jerking sort of jolt that comes with quakes that really do damage. Thankfully for us it was a long rolling wave with no damage.
