The grandmother piece is so sweet, my grandma traveled from Virginia to Phoenix as a young woman with a baby, alone. She shared making noodles with us when we were kids. The draping of them over the linen tablecloth so they could dry just right. My other grandmother shared the sweetest heart with us. Her sister was like a grandmother to us in New Orleans, her heart couldn't have been kinder. Thanks for the memories.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397337220059605393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723489562885266642.post-29107126674784161202010-11-30T14:36:35.824-08:002010-11-30T14:36:35.824-08:00Indeed Donna!

I have this wonderful little journal from my Great Aunt of a trip she took across the US from Philadelphia, Pa to CA...she was so young then in her early twenties...I love reading through it and imagining her youth, her courage, her desire for adventure as a single young woman back in nineteen thirty...I feel her presence when I hold the small purple diary. She was one of my first spiritual teachers. Remembering is a wonderful gift to ourselves during holidays!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349928247626849914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723489562885266642.post-2673995385322224412010-11-25T14:57:22.671-08:002010-11-25T14:57:22.671-08:00Thank you Altoon, your grandmother's cooking s...Thank you Altoon, your grandmother's cooking sounds exciting to my American ears. I always enjoy meals at my cousin's whose husband is an Iraqi Jew--their twist on the old favorites adds color and flavor and always, something to talk about.<br /><br />Wow Lynn, that is a memory to treasure. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet Caroline, but I like to pretend I know her anyway. <br /><br />Diana, Thanks! Yes it is. Hope your Thanksgiving is a great one too.<br /><br />Laura, your story reminded me of growing up in the midwest and sliding, tummy down on the old flexible flyers. I love that notion of enjoying the ride one more time.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461148136578592965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723489562885266642.post-72979639056463871122010-11-24T18:47:52.392-08:002010-11-24T18:47:52.392-08:00What a treasure to have your grandma's letters...What a treasure to have your grandma's letters! Your post reminds me of an experience I had just this morning. <br /><br />We are having snow here in the Puget Sound area which is an occasion for hysteria and whining usually. I don't mean that I whine hysterically--I mean that everyone does. You can probably hear us clear down in California. Plus the dogs don't like it.<br /><br />So I'm coercing my corgie into a walk up the frozen ice covered road, shivering in the subzero temps,wanting to just get it over with and I hear this strange scraping sound...<br /><br />It's my neighhbor. He's in his seventies and has a bad knee. He is sliding down the street on a sled.<br /><br />Not sliding very fast, but all red faced and cheerful anyway. He dragged his feet to stop himself and we chatted for a bit.<br /><br />Turns out his sled is an orignal flyer circa whenever it was that those sleds were first produced. He got it for his kids back in the day. The sled carried all those memories of his children and the fun they had together in the winter. But the sled carried even more than that: turns out he went to a Quaker school in Philadelphia when he was a child and one of his classmates was the offspring of the guy who first started marketing Flyers. <br /><br />So it was a beautiful sled full of meaning and he was enjoying the ice that allowed him to slide on it one more time.<br /><br />So I tried to have a better attitude on the rest of our walk. My corgie stayed grumpy, however.<br /><br />Have a lovely holiday!<br /><br />PS I enjoy reading your blog.Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723489562885266642.post-26598320249580745192010-11-24T18:32:31.660-08:002010-11-24T18:32:31.660-08:00excellent post and I love your grandmothers gentee...excellent post and I love your grandmothers genteel manners. <br />and multiple passages... really amazing!A'n'G Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319586269602054299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723489562885266642.post-63953280613615520522010-11-24T16:37:31.017-08:002010-11-24T16:37:31.017-08:00Hannah: Thanks for the inspirational post.

My grandmother was from Syria, so the Jewish cuisine I grew up with was middle eastern. I remember my 'sito' in her kitchen, always making delicious meals. <br />"Multiple Passages" is a beautiful piece, a wonderful tribute. <br />Happy Thanksgiving!Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.com
