Part of living in the house you grew up in is that you put off sorting through the boxes of family photos, movies, and slides for extended periods of time. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps you’re meant to go through the records of yours and your family’s’ life at the “right” times. The trick is to recognize those times.
Rummaging through one of the plethora of boxes documenting my family’s life I came across this:
…which is apparently part of the record from my Dad studying at the Mozarteum in Austria one summer; note the tuition. Discovering this of course conjured up memories of the tales he would tell of that time including the time he taught his landlady how to make “American” hamburgers. Before he could he had to go to a butcher to explain how to grind the meat, then to a baker to describe how to make the bun. Too bad he didn’t have a cell phone; coulda just shown them photos!
Since one of our destinations this summer is Austria, I’ll be taking this with me so Pops can “travel” with me.
rad. When I was in Wales I taught my french roommate and the limey from New Castle how to make tacos.
Not burritos?!
