The entire Yutzy family—over 200 of them—were huddled inside the barn, out of the cold, stationed on benches, waiting for the auction to begin. Parents sat with their children beside them, their backs straight, their black shawls and coats clean and pressed. The children were silent. Not one of them squirmed, fussed or cried. They stared straight ahead, not a word spoken.
I love this story, Mary. Thank you for taking us with you to the auction! These days it is so nice to read about a place that is all about kindness and respect.
A student at the UI had to train for couple of months at my alma mater. I reached out to my brother who lived nearby to give her a tour of the area. One weekend, he drove her to St Malo and Mont St Michel. He had asked his 6 years old son to come along. Few months later, back in the US, my husband asked her about her trip, the first thing that came to her mind was not the incredible sites she had seen but that 6-year-old kid that stayed quiet the whole time...........
I love this story, Mary! Among the English I have never seen a bishop dancing with rabbits. I am sure you are enjoying the rugs!
Thank you Mary for creating a vivid picture in my head this morning. The scene has helped me understand your neighbors in a new way.

Oh, Mary! Another wonderful story with a lesson embedded within. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Well, that was fun.
