Thank you, I felt taken away from you on a journey back in time to your past. To feel like an outsider or otherwise is often unpleasant for young people. Having a moment of clarity and being able to laugh about the fact that someone else has not yet had that moment may lead exactly to him having it. And that etiquette is less important to him, less important what others think. Although not unimportant.
I don't know the film. I hope I can watch it.
Oh, I would have loved to, really loved to see your furniture and the chairs your mother sewed herself! Where exactly was your apartment? In what kind of house? How do I imagine the street?
I wish you could see my mother's couch. I've never seen anything like it since :) It takes a lot of imagination to see a couch in folding chairs. My mother was an artist with needle and thread. I never appreciated her enough.
This was a middle class neighborhood. My mother's family searched long and hard to find us affordable accommodations in a good neighborhood and excellent school district. An attic in a private home filled the bill. We were lucky.
Those years---they made a rebel out of me :)
Thanks so much for reading and enjoying this.
your mom's spirit has enough power to show up once in a while. :))
I am back in Hamburg and already miss the peace and quietness of the land surrounding where I grew up. My man and I made some nice trips to the nearby lake and the next day to an old castle where we strolled through the woods and met some cattle and a horse.
What lovely times. We had before some cake and coffee at a land restaurant where we met some Irish folks and talked a little to them.
Warm greetings!
