The day that this particular weblog came out, I was riding in a car with my friend Aliza and her daughter Caroline. In the course of the conversation, Caroline mentioned how various sayings and traits had been passed down from her mom. She didn’t sound quite sure that she had adopted them consciously, but she seemed ok now that they were part of her being.

I, too, have found that as I get older, certain phrases that my mom said have miraculously appeared in my vocabulary. “Big Deal in America”, “No kuchala muchala” as well as some bona fide Yiddish expressions have begun to pop up. It comforts me to know that these words are appearing and that my mom is listening to me speak and is getting a kick out of it, from beyond.

Stay well, love, Gail

My own mama insisted on being called “Mother” and though not the homey immigrant saintly woman of the movie and TV show, taught me to love beauty, knowlege, and most importantly,family.

love,

vicki

Oh, my goodness…This is quite a column…

It reminds me that we change our perspectives so much as we get older and wiser.

I enjoyed reading this.
