Ruth, what a breathtaking background and heritage in many respects. Always a topic for deep discussions. How food inspired me growing up is relevant every day in my life. I can't wait to read your postcard adventures! Enjoy!
This was a fascinating story - I can't wait to hear more! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Have a great trip and please pull together the Barcelona recommendations before the end of June -- I ask this selfishly as that's my next booked trip!
Such touching and important memories and history, Ruth. Thank you for sharing your family with us. Have a fantastic trip and I’ll be looking forward to hearing all about it when you return! xx
Very moving, Ruth. It seems we always have more questions for our parents after they have passed. So much history in one family story. Bon voyage and a happy birthday!
Thanks for your comment, Vicki! How right you are about the questions we think of once our folks are gone. For me it's both a guessing game and some sleuthing through old letters and pictures. It's both frustrating and fun. I just have to do it before I get too old!😆
Absolutely loved this family history reminds me of mine, my grandma Fannie was born in Palestine, daughter of an itinerant Jewish peddler whose family birthed daughters on every continent (save Antarctica) before settling in America.
I adore your writing Ruth. Safe and happy travels looking forward to hearing about your adventures and Happy May birthday!
Wow, Debbie, thanks so much for your comments and good wishes! IThe story of your family sounds really fascinating too--daughters on every continent!. Have you written about it? I'd love to read it!
