Hi Fran
I'm so glad you liked my translation!
What about, "how few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's 
styles"!!  and all the rest of it!  Most yiddishe mames I know don't 
identify with that!

Thank you for your beautiful translation.  I'm still wiping the tears!  And
as a side note, I never did like the originally translated line, ". . .that
dear little woman, so old and grey."  My mother was little, yes, but never
saw herself as "old and grey" ( tho she loved her shiny silver hair).
Perhaps that is why she radiated youth until the day she died at 81!

Thank you,
Fran Moss
