Passover is Here!



This will probably be my last post until after Passover. Today Hubby is taking the kids, as most people will be out in the park burning their last piece of leavened substance.

Then comes the Sabbath/Shabbat then comes Passover. We are doing it a bit differently this year. This year, we are using our coffee table, to have a low table and we'll sit on a rug with pillows. The tradition is to recline to the left when drinking -a symbol that we are no longer slaves. This way, those who wish to recline can even lean on their elbow (as oppose to reclining in mid-air as I've seen some people do) or on their pillows. We have lots of pillows. Also, if the kids want to, they can fall asleep on the rug as the story of the exodus from Egypt is recounted.

I'll miss you guys. I am sure alot of what's been going on in blog world will be playing in my mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some interesting blogs I've been reading in the black blogosphere:

For a synopsis of what's going on with China. The Political Season has it.

Afr. Amer. Political Pundit takes a stab at the recent Obama Ambush /conference. Goodness, this election is certainly bring alot of things to the open.

Can you deal with visiting Gorree Island? Grata at Black/African/Woman discusses.

Capital K's house sure makes me want to seriously consider home-schooling.

And one last thing: I just want to praise Siditty for her blog. I simply ENJOY her honesty. When we discuss how upset we are about how some wm or white society as a whole can be, and when we discuss how much we love our husbands, truth radiates. I love it!

This is such a long good bye LOL.

Have a great Passover. We went to a seder meal and I wish we'd had pillows or something, Luke fell asleep halfway through. Next time I'll be better prepared, it's a long service.

Roslyn - Yes, its really loooooong. One reason I like to have it at home is that we don't have to drag it out.

I hope you didn't have to lean in mid air. lol
