The Beauty of Women
This princess in a beautiful overflowing pink gown.
Riding on a golden throne on the back of an huge elephant.
The elephant with white tusks is covered in royal red robes with a blue, green, and orange emblem of a serpent.
Fairy tale maybe, but this seems so real to me.
I want to wave and jump up and down and say, "your majesty!" ;-)

Royalty On An Elephant
From Palestinian riots to revolts, from Palestinians engaging in a civil war against Jews to the Arab League nation-states waging an all-out war against Israel, from Palestinian organized terrorism to raging intifadas, from the Palestinians driving United Nations resolutions to International Criminal Court investigations of Israel, the Palestinians are waging an endless war against Israel, rejecting numerous offers of peace for their people’s autonomy and self-determination.Through never-ending Palestinian rejection of one peace proposal after another, and instead choosing to have “all or nothing” of Palestine, the Palestinians have embraced armed and violent struggle as well as economic, political, and judicial warfare against Israel. Unfortunately, the Jewish people will need to continue in their ultimate struggle for survival. After 2,000 years of Jewish exile, and suffering under incessant persecution, inquisitions, expulsions, pogroms, the Holocaust, even now with the State of Israel, the one Jewish homeland and our refuge, the attacks continue against us from Palestinians choosing to wage an endless, bitter war instead of looking to make a lasting, beautiful peace.

Blue and white flowers around it.
Surprised no one thought of that before.
A window isn't just to look out of from inside, but also decor to marvel at from the outside.
Windows work two-ways! ;-)

Artful Window
The weird cycle with the exaggerated extra big wheel in front.
The crazy looking skinny bodied person with long arms and legs and wild hair sitting on top.
The bright green, blue, orange, and yellow colors.
It just made me laugh at the whole thing.
It's not exactly art, but it sort of is. ;-)

So many prescription strengths.
Trial and error to figure out what is the right one.
Hold it up to your eye or flip it into the machine.
How's things looking now?
A little stronger, no a little weaker.
Wait, stronger.
No, weaker.
Ah this is nuts.
How can I even see what the heck I am choosing.
Seeing is believing. ;-)

Lots of Lenses
I love how the artist raised the path, so you could see the difficulty of traveling like this.
And the sculpture is so intricate and detailed.
Truly lifelike and makes you feel the times.
In the Wild West, like in the "Old Country" people kept chugging along, even when life was difficult and often miserable.
Not sure how they did it. ;-)

Incredible Horses and Wagon
Today is Purim, when we celebrate the Jewish victory over the evil Haman and his conspiracy to annihilate the Jews in the Persian Empire. Haman drew a lottery to determine what he thought was a fortuitous day, the 13th of Adar, to murder the Jewish people and pursued this plot through a decree by King Achashverosh. But as we know, G-d made miracles through Queen Esther and her uncle Mordechai, and Haman and his ten sons ended hanging by the noose that he built for Mordechai.
This has been my personal experience as well, as I can see both now and in 20/20 hindsight that there is a definite Divine method and not just a world of random chance and madness.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Please G-d, we should all learn to fish and pay it forward to others to teach them as well. ;-)

Maybe it's good luck for procreating, since rabbits are known to be specialists at it.
Also people like to carry a rabbit's foot for good luck--where did that practice come from?
If the rabbit lost his foot and it's in your pocket then it doesn't seem like it was very good luck to the rabbit to begin with!
Who knows maybe it's the Easter Bunny?
Honestly, aside from Bugs Bunny
What's up Doc?
And the cereal commercial about:
Silly Rabbit, Trix are for Kids!
I'm not sure who needs a six foot pink rabbit anyway. ;-)

Probably goes well with some nice long spaghetti and saucy sauce.
Mix it up and serve it steamy hot.
Around the table, everyone dig in.
Oops, don't spill the sauce on your shirt.
Keep some Tums around for any after effects.
It's hearty meatball and spaghetti night. ;-)

I call it, Happy Living Room!
Love the blues and pinks and green and other images (starfish, shells, and seahorse) of the big, beautiful ocean.
Definitely, ready to take off my shoes, lay down on that couch, and close my eyes. ;-)

Full coverage.
Nice golden shine.
No need to brush your hair or put on makeup.
And no one can tell your sleeping in meetings. ;-)

When we act up and fight with each other, then in the end, we will really only end up hurting ourselves.Tomorrow can be better than today and yesterday, if we learn to live in peace and brotherhood with each other, and understand that hurting another is really only hurting ourselves in the end. G-d’s holiness dwells among us only when we stop the silly bickering and infighting, and love each other, and Him, with all our heart and soul.

On the back of the truck, it says:
Let's Talk Trash
And there is a garbage can afterwards for emphasis!
I like this trashy trash company brand because it works. ;-)

The cat extended its paws and started to stretch.
Reminded me of fitness guru, Richard Simmons, but with a far better hairdo! ;-)

Crispy noodles underneath the delicious, sweet, succulent, and crispy chicken.
This was, as they say, "to die for" - so, so delicious.
As my father used to say, "It tastes like more!" :-)

Great meeting these cool folks in hot Florida!
We're rocking the day away. ;-)

Reincarnation actually makes so much sense, especially when you see that G-d can and does bring people back to the world when they still have life lessons to learn and growth to be achieved. It’s part of our preparation and our soul’s purification process to go back to Hashem.Obviously, we are not G-d, and don’t have the time and event perspective of Hashem who was, is, and will be. However, if we understand that G-d has a plan, everything is connected, and there is a reason for everything, then we can go through life inspired to do the right thing ourselves even when we are challenged by our circumstances.
A Reason For Everything
