Things I Took From My Grandmother's House
Apr. 19th, 2011 08:20 amSome Handkerchiefs with Pink Flowers on them: Not sentimental at all, but useful.
A Food Mill: My mother has my grandmothers old food mill, which she replaced with this newer and shinier (literally) one. I have fancy one I've never used in the my closet, but I thought this one might be useful.
[u]Say It in Yiddish[/u]: I picked this up because of what Micheal Chabon says about it in his essay "Imagery Homelands." Not that I wouldn't like to learn Yiddish (and for that matter Hebrew) but I doubt this book will help much. It is very small blue volume that cost 75ยข
Three Old HP Calculators: These where my grandfathers. I used his old HP graphing calculator for years. I prefer Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) and I don't like any modern RPN calculator I've used so I'm excited to have some old RPN calculators to play with.
