Busy preparing for Passover. Made lemon macaroons this morning and will make a matzo farfal kugel tomorrrow. Sorry the children won't be here, but we are planning to be with good friends.

Also up to day 8 of my grandson;s blog re his visit to eastern Europe. He leaves Czecheslovakia for Poland and was quite  touched by what he saw and heard. He has looked up all the Kleinmans on the memorial plagues he has seen.....none of the names that we know of belong to his father's family. It might be different in Poland. My mother immigrated from the Pale and my father from Brest Litovsk, a city on the Bug River that separated Poland from Russia. Almost all the Jews in that city were killed...

That is in part  what motivated.the writing of GOODBYE RUSSIA, HELLO AMERICA...yet unfinished.

A Susse Pasach and a Happy Easter to all of you.
