What a wonderful day with so much MUCH.
My sister chana is engaged to mendel Benjaminson from Chicago!

Mazal tov chan, binyan adei ad!

It was such a comfort to sit with the family over shabbos
And talking about nothing and everything and bubby.
And how she was so young even when she wasn't.
The little old lady who thought she was 20.

One more day of shiva doesn't feel enough.

Last purim, bubby was a carrot. Yes she painted her shaitel green. And when she was asked what she would do if it didn't come out, she said a new color would be fun.

Still doesn't feel real. Still thinking about chanukah and how fun it would be if she came in to celebrate in warmer weather.

Nightlight needing to stay on over shabbos? We need to cover the sensor? Why use tape when we have labels that are extra?!

Bubbie was a creative. Two extension cords plus

Bubbie was a creative.

Two extension cords plus a hook to add light to a room.

A broken doll got a cast instead of tossing it.

Two strings and some foam blocks was teffilin.

Old towels becomes a bib or a doll dress.

And then, in her 80s, bubby found painting.

See bubby was also the most epic storyteller, with waaaayyyy too much graphic details included. All stories of tanach, all true. All probably not the most appropriate for us when we were 5, maybe 8 years old..

Bubby would sit to tell us a bedtime story. And would describe Shimshon ripping a lion. Marrying Delilah because she was a very very beautiful but a very very not nice person. And how she cried 'you don't love me, you don't tell me why your so strong!' Yes I was maybe 7 and knew this story back and forth. We loved it.

So someone gave the idea- why not paint your stories?

So Bubbies art was born. Every detail included. With glitter and gold and the brightest red she could find. With all the details (see the chopped fingers? The snake bite?). After she painted her favorite ones, she found other stories. All of the ones she chose are ones that are more out there, more spiritual, more gory, more crazy. She didn't paint Noah's ark. She painted the story of nevuchadneztar and the writing in the wall. She painted chana leaving her son at the mishkan, who later became shmuel hanavi. She painted the story of King Solomons daughter. Of David and Goliath, and then how King Shaul chased him for his life.

Look them up. All not the typical stories we hear about. All wonderfully amazing.
