One thing that my family lost because of the immigration I regret. From a pure aesthetic point of view. Our library.
I have never visited a library in my home town when I was in a school. I had everything at home and more. My classmates were borrowing books from our "library", if my father trusted them to look well after the books.
We had 4.000 volumes roughly, not counting numerous art albums and art books that my father was a big fan of.
We took only a fraction (about 700 volumes to Israel), but hard life, house moves, climate, health deterioration of my parents resulted that the books are now in a bad condition and there is nobody to inherit them anyway.

Heh. I am talking to a musician
No, of course now. It is only a wooden triangle for drawing with 19cm catheti.

Confiscated pics she found under your bed? We didn't misunderstand each other, did we?
