My parents travel quite a lot.

Pop takes pictures.

My mom poses for them.

Over the years I have gotten many delightful pictures in the mail, with exposition written on the back in ball-point pen. I thought I would make my mother famous by posting some of my favorites on my website. Come with me and let's see the world, Mom-style!

Location: Virginia

Pop and I decided to take Starshine, Weed, and Honey up on their invitation to visit. When we arrived, they obviously were having a party, so we turned to leave. Honey saw us, and was overjoyed. Such a welcome! She insisted we meet all their friends, and she introduced us so nicely, "These are our friends Stan and Esther, and they came here specifically for tea." They didn't have any tea, it turns out, but they had some brownies that were even better than the ones we had in Austria and that one deli in the Bronx whose name I can never remember. Even though these young people dressed horribly they were very nice, and liked to sing songs. I taught them to sing "Zey ruchel zey" and a few other of your grandmother's songs and they sang them over and over. After Pop and I left we went to a buffet and ate like pigs. I am embarassed to tell you how much we ate. But for a cheap buffet you would not believe how good the food tasted.
