Grandma & Yiddish

The grandbaby has arrived and is so beautiful and awesome. I can't remember similar feelings to when I gave birth, but of course it was much different giving birth then standing by. My time was spent doing the dishes, some laundry, reading books and holding, cuddling and comforting this awesome little being.

It was along ride to get to my grandbaby's home, so librarian friends selected some Books on CD to help the ride go quicker and of course keep me awake. Just finished "The Yiddish Policemen's Union" by Michael Chabon. Very interesting read, very interesting style but I would have liked a glossary to help understand what exactly what being said and what some of the Jewish/Yiddish terminology really means.

I am back to my world now, my arms occasionally missing the capture of a small body against my chest. So back to work, meetings and if I can focus, to continue the weaving project on my loom. It is threaded, awaiting a correction and then tie-on and the weaving to commence.
