My Blue Monday with Sally and friends is very different from anything that I have done. You will find a few "blues" scattered about though. Many other interesting blues can be seen at

******************************
My sister and I usually have our quality time on Saturdays. I am supposed to find something exciting for us to do. This past Saturday, we attended "The Passover Experience" on the other side of Weatherford, Texas.
This is a very large statue of Christ at the entrance to the area. I had to take this out of the car window as there was too much traffic to get any closer. It is very large and a blessing to see. The parking area was so full they were parking on the highway. It was an awesome place to visit before Easter.
My sister and I(talking when picture was made, as usual) at the Passover Seder meal. Never had been to this occasion before.
Anyone familiar with the Jewish Passover, knows "The Kindling Of The Candles" is done by the lady of the house and says the prayer. Since I happened to be seated next to the speaker, he appointed me to do this honor. The green lighter on the table was what I was supposed to use to light the candles. To my disgrace, I could not get it to light. Someone came to my rescue and lit the candles. However, I was able to read the following:
"Blessed art thou, O Lord our God,
King of the universe
who has sanctified us by thy
commandments, and has commanded us
to kindle the festival light".
There was a building that represented the "Plague of Darkness". A lot of the people, including my sister, chose not to go through it. Well I was game. Never have been in such darkness in my life. I tried to hang on to the man's shirt in front of me, but lost him. They had a rail you could hold on to guide you, but I could not see where it was. Finally, one of the workers came to my rescue as I was holding up the line. Unbelievable darkness. Sorry I could not get pictures of this event.
This scene represented being in the Land Of Goshen. The people were giving up their gold and such to get people to leave.
This was a scene when we were going into Jerusalem and visiting with the villagers. My sister is here enjoying this event. There was a lot of standing in long lines, it was getting hot and we were tired. Therefore, we did not get to visit the money changers and pay our taxes to keep the "Roman Soldiers" from arresting us. Also, missed the sitting at the table with Jesus and His disciples.
One of the characters and myself. Forgive me, but cannot remember who he represented.
