Re: [Cz-L] Houses

BOIDEN MEMORIES!
I remember 2 Boiden(s). One my mothers eldest sister who was "the leader of
the flock! (Respetksperson) and family center. Her Boidem, as ours, had
wooden flooring, each tenant had a cubbyhole with a door, lock and key. All
things, as Hedwige writes not used were stored there, laundry dried in
winter (white, starched, hanging like ghosts till taken down for ironing,
pillowcases when ironed made a SWISSSHHHH sound when opened for use) but in
my aunts attic(boidem) were the pots, pans, cutlery, and crockery for
Pessach. Each year we went up, my cousin and I and carried them down in
baskets after grandfather had, the night before, gone over with a candle
and a feather to see that the kitchen was Kosher for Pessach. Memories of
long long ago!!!
Hardy had a great imagination throughout his life. The cellar was not a
scary place, just dark with a tiny window. It was a place into which
potatoes, wood for heating, apples and boxes of eggs with thick salt in
between them so they don't freeze, were stored. Winter was a hard time in
our town with 18 and over 20C below zero, the peasants didn't come to the
market, sometimes they came to the house and brought butter holding them in
their blue hands form the cold on small lettuce leaves a piece of fresh
butter. That was so long ago and I never thought it'll end but it all ended
abruptly and for ever.
