Pretty cool, but I take issue with the Coffee (for me Tea) cup analogy.
See, I don’t agree that the cup adds nothing to the enjoyment of the tea.
In the right circumstances, the cup can be a very pleasant but non-oral aesthetic which adds to the overall personal experience of the Tea-Time. Not because you can say I’ve got Good China or My China is Better than Theirs, but because the nice china for its own sake feels ‘good’ as an enhanced sense of civility, or perhaps better, formality.
So much for the coffee cup analogy. ;).
Love,
---Dave.

Hi Mom,
I bought another picture for my apt. This one is a simple modest landscape I saw in Walmart the other day. I liked it well enough, thought of a place it belonged, and it was on sale for about $12, so I bought it. It's not spectacular, but the photos don't quite capture its pleasure.
Talk to you later.

"DA" can be used in many ways, depending on the sentence and its contents.
In my little essay it meant :"since".
In your question, "DA" ist "here" and "dort" is "there".
For example: "Das ist schon einmal DA gewesen = This has once already been here
And then: " Aber dort will ich gerne hingehen"= But there I would like to go

Mein lieber Sohn,
Ich habe dir dieses profunde Gedicht schon einmal gesandt - es kommt von meinem Stammbuch, in das mein Cousin, Joschi (Walter's Bruder) schon vor langer Zeit (1928) hineingeschrieben hat. Ich koennte es nicht besser sagen:
"Zeit, so sagen die Menschen, ist uneinbringlich!
...und so ist es!
Nuetze den Tag, sonst eilst nutzlos durch Leben dahin!"
(Bitte, uebersetze es sehr vorsichtig!!!)
Genug gesagt! Danke fuer den Anruf -es ist immer gut deine Stimme zu hoeren!
Alles Liebe von deiner MUTTI

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I didn't realize, what an important role she played in forming your self-confidence and self assurance. Yes, she could really be amazingly convincing in her arguments and compliments, she actually was a great factor in my returning to Jim, after I tried to split the second time and convinced me, that this was not the right turn in the road of life for me to take...I accepted her advice and went back to Jim, as you know.
Looking back now, I can see her points...and I shall miss her wisdom ,her sincerity and her caring...what a truly great Lady and friend!

Dear David-
My son, David,wrote me this message and I feel, I'd like to share it with you. He truly adored Miriam and he wants to also express his deepest condolences to you and the family!
I do feel privileged to have been able to tell her "Good Bye" in person -she will always be in my heart and memory, she as well as your wonderful Dad!
Question: I will probably want to talk sooner or later to Violet -please, tell me if she was informed about your Mom's passing -I wouldn't want to upset her, if Valerie decided not to tell.
Give my best to Mickey and the rest of the family -thank you for including us in your so warm and meaningful gathering after the funeral!
Love, LISA

This is the little Fare-well message I delivered to say "Good-
By" to a most beloved friend at there Funeral service last Wednesday.
Thought you might like to read it...did quite a few Ad-libs besides this prepared script. I don't quite trust my ancient memory completely any more -on my birthday, when you were present, I only talked about those people who were present and didn't need to prepare anything, just had to look at them....so that was different. I was much too emotional to depend on my antique brain :((((

Eight months ago, after you moved to be near your so caring, wonderful son David, we had missed that visit when I had the accident that landed me in the hospital with a broken neck,which is bedeviling me still. Last Thursday, when we came down for other reasons, we did get that precious chance to tell you how much we loved you - thank you for waiting...

A magnificent mother to two charming, delightful sons, she proofed to be a true blessing to the community. As prsesident of B'nai B'rith, she spread Good Will throughout the community - she even talked me, with heavy accent and all, to folloow her footsteps in her charitable organizations, she was the ultimate Party giver -her lovely home was always a the top of the line, so to speak, for any visitors to drop in any time, in short, she was "Perfection" personified!

Addition by Dave:
Of course I too will miss her. I knew Mirrian and Irving as one of my mother's many many friends. They would be there for many of my mother's large vivacious parties. As it was for me, I look back on those days with great joy and love, but realize that perhaps so many people overwhelmed me a bit, and although I knew the friends she had over, it took me many many years to actually get to "know" them, by name and/or personally.
So it was with Mirriam. One day when my mother was vising me in Boca Raton, perhaps 1993 or 94, I was maybe 30, we (my mother and I) met Mirriam for lunch at the elegant Mizner Park complex. Mirriam lived in Boca, so it was a nice opportunity for them to see each other again. I've always had a pretty good sense of self-worth, and yet some reason I can't explain, this self-worth was lacking in some respects. I felt capable and smart, but not particulary interesting or attractive. Of course, my mother, my wife, they thought differently. But somehow I discounted that as a biased opinion.
So here I met Mirriam with mom. I knew Mirriam, but not well, and probably had not solidly put name to face yet. On this particular occasion, I discovered what a wonderful, elegant, warm person she was. She was much much older than I, and yet was still full of elegance, charm, and beauty. She was so engaging with me that I felt wonderful about myself. I am both ashamed to admit it (because my mother was certainly fully loving and supportive of me), and glad to admit it (because it speaks volumes for the kind of person Mirriam was), but she was perhaps the first person who really allowed me to see myself as fully interesting and handsome. From that day forward, my confidence in my self in this are slowly and inexorably increased. It may sound trivially self-centric, but feeling good about yourself that way is keenly important to a full sense of well being.
I've loved her ever since as one who *saw* me, and helped me *see* myself. Every time I saw Mirriam after that I made a point to return the warmth she had so completely filled me with. I had far too few opportunities to return that warmth.

Having Lunch with old friends is always a special treat!
Here is our picture taken last week with Don McClosky, enjoying a walk through Memory Lane at a famous Fish restaurant...
We spent 10 days in Boca Raton, a most memorable stretch of time, filled with sadness as well as Joy (Miriam Wellens, a most beloved friend,passed on and we went to her funeral and visited afterwards with her wonderful, precious family)
and the joyful occasions, attending the 60th Wedding anniversary of Teddy and Sigi Stern, friends for about 65 years. "Also seeing Lenny Ruden and his son Christopher (my son and grandson) and other friends and relatives...
Truly a full, exciting mini-vacation - but it's good to be home again!
Love to you all, from LISA & JULIE
------
Hi Mom,
Welcome Home!
Do you have a photo of Mirriam and Irving you could email to me?
---D.
------
Thanks -good to be home...among so many others, saw Merry, Lenny (4 times) Christopher, Paula, Eleanor- truly a memorable Mini vacation...I am so blessed to have so many beloved friends and relatives...
Will try to find pictures of Miriam, possible also Irving...also met so many new, interesting people...
Love, MOM
