He’s Here! Oy.

Marilyn Armstrong is a prolific blogger, and this is among my  favorites of her blogs. I have tried and tried to reblog it and the reblog button just doesn’t work, at least for me,  so here is a little bit of it.  To see the rest, go to her URL given below this segment.

HE’S HERE! OY.

300-shmuel my uncle“So,” says Uncle Shmuel, who having appeared out of nowhere is now sitting at the table enjoying a nice piece cake. Miraculously  he speaks excellent vernacular American English — albeit with a heavy Yiddish accent,

“Nice place you got here. I see you keep your animals in your house. That one there sounds like a pig but looks like a dog.”

“They are our pets, Uncle Shmuel. The oinker is Nan. She just makes that sound. She’s kind of old. I think that’s the dog equivalent of ‘oy’.”

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    It’s funny, because I can reblog you. I’m going to check my setup to make sure I haven’t unintentionally blocked it … or who knows what the recent weird stuff being done to the WordPress infrastructure has wrought 😉 Thank you!!

      Prob. my fault. My computer is being weird. My Acer all black. I’m afraid MS 10 might have wiped it! It was working after we installed it, though. Always a mystery. Standing here shivering, dripping wet from pool as I couldn’t get it to play my movie…or show anything. Cross your fingers. I know you didn’t have a good experience with it but it had worked okay for me for a few days.
