One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for June 22, 2016

You lost me, Ruthie…

Fun Fact: when the poet and artist William Blake was 60 years old, he learned Italian so he could read Dante’s “Divine Comedy” in the original.

So, is this Ruthie’s grandmother’s family, grandfather’s, or both?

What a surprise! It is not silver, it is Stainless steel.

As it’s grandpa accompanying Ruthie, a good guess would be it’s his family.

On second thought! They are neighbors, possibly not family, but close enough to visit.

Reminded of traveling in Arizona once, and could only get a Navajo station. Amidst the DJ’s long string of words I understood “Willie Nelson”. Similarly, I periodically listen to a couple CDs of Mongolian music in which I only understand “Chinghis Khan”.

I once visited a Romanian church in Chicago. During the announcements I recognized “Lake Shore Drive.”
