Quotable Quote

"If it wasn't for the optimist, the pessimist would never know how happy he wasn't."
~Anonymous

Dedicated to our daughter, Summer...

...whose razzle, dazzle, and downright sparkly representation of all things shimmery...
...makes her the most twinkly little optimist we know.

Halloween Ha Ha

"Ha ha" is right! How many times did I erupt into spasms of laughter at seeing my once hot man of a husband transform into an old hag of a woman? Either that or "ahhh-ing" at my pretty princess of a daughter dressed as the Snow White she already is. Of course, giggles ensued every time I caught my reflection of MY new self - a stodgy orthodox Jewish man...



Here was the color-coordinated sunset on the eve of Halloween - an ominous black and orange - specifically dyed for the holiday!



Here we view the man/woman himself...or herself? Complete with garish rouge upon his stubbly cheeks, smeared lipstick, mascara, gaudy jewelry, mismatched knee highs, and a wig. Don't forget the pillow and the rolled up tube socks for strategic stuffing! Every time I leaned in to kiss him/her, a mysteriously odd feeling came over me :)




I had never felt so profoundly devout, fervent, soulful, earnest, or goodly. Shalom!





A praise-worthy Snow White!






May this old dame with her saintly orthodox Jewish husband take this opportunity to extend the wish that you all had as happy a Halloween as we did!
