SHABBAT SHALOM MAY 17TH

Shanus — Fri, 17 May 2024 11:22:12 GMT

Good Friday morning and Shabbat Shalom. Welcome to this inclusive Friday thread. We share thoughts, weekend plans and come together in friendship.

Still wishing for world peace (more iffy each week) and less violence in our own country. I can't watch the news anymore without being so upset and weakened by the starving children in need of meds and shelter.

Flooding and tornadoes are threatening across the US, barges hitting bridges and spilling oil, people letting their dogs out of their cars and driving away. I could go on, but we all know the world is in deep trouble.

On a happier note, my gallery sold two more paintings which means five, I think. I'll go down there later and see which ones sold. I guess I'll spend this stormy weekend finishing a few more for them to display. I paint at least three at a time since watercolor backgrounds dry much lighter and take forever before I can do another layer of brighter color and then "doo das" on top (see my painting in another thread). I like to to work on others while the first is drying and when finished, they get sprayed with a fixative.

Have a good and safe weekend to all my Forum Friends.

Oh well, I used the same Shabbat message as last week. I guess I loved the message. Here's a different one:

Happy Weekend and week ahead to all!

I can't believe Memorial Day Weekend is next week. We are so behind on having the house ready for our family to come for the long weekend.

The pool isn't open due to the constant rain when have had...and we don't want unhappy little grandkids so it will be a busy week for us.

More rain forecasted for this weekend.

@Shanus ,

Congrats on the sale of your paintings. Hope that makes you feel great as it should.

Good morning all

Yes, all we can do is keep praying for the sadness in our country and the world. I try to greet each day with a smile even though it's not always easy, I will always make an effort.

Congrats @Shanus for your painting sales! I admire those who have such talent as I can't draw anything successfully, LOL!

The weather is beautiful in the northeast so we plan on spending some time outside today. I have some steaks marinating and the grill is ready to go for dinner. Kind of a quiet weekend for us which I always enjoy, also plan on doing some reading on the deck later. Whatever you are up to I hope you all have a wonderful, peaceful weekend

@Shanus

Congratulations on selling two more of your paintings! You do beautiful work, so it's easy to see why they're selling so fast! I'm happy you have such a creative outlet you're able to share with others.

This has been a long, stressful week here since my mom's arm and wrist have been broken. She's been in a lot of pain and that's hard to watch. Hopefully, I'll be able to speak directly with her primary care Monday morning, as she's due to be back from vacation.

I have lots of nature pics, as well as garden pics I just haven't had the chance to post yet. Maybe I'll get to share a few today. Our spring peas are ready and my dad has already mentioned wanting me to cook some lol.

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend!

@cheriere ,

I hope your Mom can get some relief from pain soon. I know how hard it is to see our loved ones suffering in any way.

You Mom and Dad are fortunate to have such a loving and caring daughter

Thank you so much.❤️

I really appreciate the support from you and my other forum friends. It is really hard to feel helpless when those you love are in pain.

Hi everyone,

Well, we made it to Friday.

Good Shabbos and happy weekend to all.

@Shanus thank you for this week's inclusive thread. Congrats on selling more paintings. Fabulous!! I echo your prayers.

@cheriere I hope your mom starts to feel less pain every day. It's hard to watch someone you love in pain. She is lucky to have you as an advocate.

If it doesn't rain this weekend, I'll be out taking care of the gardens.....weeding, and cutting back dead spring folliage.

I hope you all have a restful weekend.

Today is Pinot Grigio Day. I don't drink any kind of wine, so you can have mine. Do NOT take my chocolates, though. lol lol

@Shanus It is a message certainly worth repeating. Congrats on your painting sales. What a wonderful accomplishment.

Hi everyone. Just back from a 2 week vacation and trying to catch up. I hope you are all doing well and are happy/healthy. Enjoy the weekend. We are supposed to hit 80 degree temps in the northern burbs of Chicago. I have not seen the cicadadas yet, but they are soon to show their nasty selves. Not looking forward to that!

Hugs to all.

Welcome Back!😃💝🌸

A two week vacation must've been wonderful! I'm so glad you got to take some time to recharge.

@Shanus Mazel tov on selling your paintings! What a nice feeling to know they will bring happiness to their new owners!

@DREAMON , sorry that you are having so much rain. Hopefully it'll be gone for when your visitors arrive. You'll be fine & all will be ready for them to enjoy spending time with you!

Re: SHABBAT SHALOM MAY 17TH

@cheriere , you are such a a beautiful daughter, caring for your parents so well. I hope this week brings more answers and plans to get Mom on the road to recovery. Take good care of yourself also. 💕

Re: SHABBAT SHALOM MAY 17TH

MOMMAVik — Sat, 18 May 2024 00:03:40 GMT

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Weekend! I am looking forward to a sunny, dry weekend. We have had so much rain!

Prayers for peace and respect for each other are needed. I too cannot watch the news anymore. Also prayers to those struggling with health issues.

Re: SHABBAT SHALOM MAY 17TH

@Shanus

WOW! Congratulations for selling your paintings!
We had tornadoes here again today...

CHAOS CENTRAL!
At least now our weather people are taking them seriously. There used to be a theory that tornadoes could not form here after weather crossed the Ohio border into PA and this has been proven to be untrue.

I might post pictures of the terrible storm here last Friday ... what scary video footage!
