We had an excellent Passover this year--and I attribute that in large part to the maturing of my girls, and their ability to understand more and more of the symbolism in this yearly observance. I am finding that as the years go by, I am not as lonely for adult conversation during the week like I experienced when they were really little...because it seems that suddenly I have two young ladies that have LOTS of thoughts, opinions and insights. Yes, they also offer lots of silly and sweet and frustrating moments throughout the day too...after all, they are still 8 and 11. But I guess what I mean is, they keep me company...and that is kind of a nice realization to come to after lots of years of NOT feeling that way. After all, diapering and wiping bottoms and filling bottles does not resemble ANYTHING close to adult company (hopefully!). But now...they keep me company, and I am enjoying it.
Anyway....as usual, a blog post intended to show you a great quilted table runner that my mom made for Passover this year has ended up as a bit of a ramble. Hey, that's okay right?
This is the 10 Plagues table runner...each square symbolizes one of the plagues, and was a kit that my mom purchased online. In some rabbinic studies, the Hebrew word for "flies" or "swarm" is ambiguous, and is thought to also be translated as "wild beasts". We discovered that fact after trying to point out the 10 plagues that we have always been familiar with over the years. Where are the flies???
What can be cooler than matzah fabric? The girls LOVE it! Thanks Mom. :)

I love the matzoh fabric!
And I am oh so glad to hear that eventually your little kids become good company and fun conversationalists as well. At this point the kids think saying "poopy" and burping at the table makes for great conversation topics :/
