I’m usually a non-fiction reader and I guess, writer. That way I can’t get upset with endings because they’re supposed to be based on facts. Fiction is too finite and usually doesn’t go the way I would want.
Thus a love of the belle-lettre form which is now, I guess, changed into blogging. I originally called it this (But Mostly Hers) because I wanted to make my voice heard over the voice of my husband, the rabbi, especially when he rephrases my ideas in his words, but I realize that there are many other wise people in the universe I am eager to hear. So please let me hear your opinions and reveal as much as you want about your own self.
And you should know I love my husband, my kids, and yes yes my wonderful most fantastic grandchildren who are of course the most wonderful and most brilliant in the whole wide world!
I think I’ll put the cast of characters here, just in case.
- ISHI-Hebrew for “my man”, in other words, how I refer to my husband for this blog
- FIL–my father-in-law, whose life often makes me reflect on mine and values
- D#1, D#2, S#1, S#2–I think you get the picture now–daughter #1, etc…
- SIL–sons-in-law and
- DIL–daughters-in-law
Any others that I’m forgetting to explain? If you see anything, let me know.
And this tells you something but clearly not very much. You’ll have to read for yourself to find out more. And as I write, I do, too. And I am trying to find the hidden that is all around us.
But can you see the butterfly above?
How about now?

My MIL and FIL started referring to me as their DIL when they were writing emails. They realized this reminded them of a dill pickle, so they dicthed the DIL and now address me as their Pickle.
Sounds like you inherited a great sense of humor through marriage!
A Jewish grandmother writing the most fascinating blog. You intrigue me
I really look forward to getting to know you! Warmest greetings from Finland, Sharon.
Thank you so much for stopping by–I feel very honored!
and I think I will add, I’m definitely Jewish, and I’m definitely a grandmother, but I don’t think that I would categorize myself as a Jewish grandmother!
oh hugs!!! I hope you know I meant it in the most wonderful of ways and in the most endearing of terms! Have a wonderful weekend and yes, I do see the butterfly
Oh of course I know you did! But it’s just funny how I never thought of myself that way, and of course, that’s who I am! It’s a strange thing, reality meeting up with your expectations…
Have a wonderful weekend, too!
