This happy family was relaxing and sharing an affectionate moment with each other on a Thursday afternoon. I was struck by the fact that both of the youthful parents were smiling... New Yorkers often are glum--or at least appear to be. I was thrilled to see such happiness. May they always be as happy as they are today, if not more so!
The little boy may not be smiling, but his hand is placed lovingly on the stroller of his younger sibling. (I took this through a car window and didn't see whether the baby was a girl or a boy.)
While the boy and his father are both wearing yamulkes, the little guy is wearing a bright, tie-dyed shirt--so appropriate for the joyous and relaxed pre-Shabbos (Sabbath) mood! The mother is dressed in what I'm calling frum chic, ('frum' meaning observant). I don't know if we could call it a ''movement," but it's definitely a tendency that is quietly and respectfully causing a mini-revolution in Jewish Orthodox women's apparel.
(For my description of Jewish Orthodox vestimentary rules for observant women, see my recent photo, depicting the three young women who inspired my expression, frum chic.)

Theme music: "So Happy Together", the 60s song that inspired this photo's title.
Sie wandeln durch des Waldes Grün.
Vögel singen und Blumen blühn.
Ein blasser Mann und ein stilles Kind
Sie schlürfen durstig den Frühlingswind.
Und der Knabe bleibt verwundert stehn:
"Ich glaub, ich kann die Mutter sehn."
Sie starren in das junge Grün …
Vögel fliegen und Blumen blühn.
Alfred Mombert
Memory lane
A couple of weeks ago, my brother Reinier, who lives in Iowa, was visiting the Netherlands.
We took the opportunity to take a stroll down memory lane visiting the neighborhood and street where we were both born (in 1949 and 1951) and where we lived until going to college. We reminisced what we used to do here and who used to live there.
He brought along his young daughter Klaertje in her stroller and her presence added a bit of present-day reality to our otherwise nostalgic going back in time...

The owner purchased this petz cat stroller because his cat became too heavy to carry (18 lbs). Photo taken at the tulip festival. The cat attracted a crowd of onlookers soon after this photo was taken.
