HOME DELIVERIESBefore the days of the supermarket, there were all kinds of small, specialized stores. There was the kruidernier (grocery) that sold only grocery items. While I was a teenager, chain stores started to come into existence, like De Gruyter and Albert Hein. Both chains still exist today. De Gruyter, I believe, operates mostly in The Hague and environs, but Albert Hein has grown into a conglomerate under the holding company Ahold and they own supermarket chains worldwide. For instance, in the U.S., they own Finast, Edwards, Shop & Stop, Giant Food, and the Pathmark chains. Even in their early days they began to pose formidable competition for the small grocers.

Honesty, though, apparently didn’t rank too high on their list. Once, while I was waiting for the grocery clerk to fill my order (no self-service at that time), one of the store clerks came out of the storeroom with a large jute bag of coffee beans slung over his shoulder. He put a little stepladder in front of the large display containers. There were three adjacent containers, respectively marked Red Label, Silver Label and Gold Label – the first being the cheapest and the last the most expensive. The man proceeded to fill the Red Label bin, then

moved the ladder, filled the Silver Label bin, and thereafter the Gold Label one – all from the same bag!

Although many people, including us, had a melkboer (milkman) come to their house to deliver milk and cream, there were zuivel winkels (dairy stores) where you could buy your milk, butter and eggs. Butter came in kegs and the winkelier, storeowner, would scoop out the requested half or whole pound of South Holland or Frisian or imported butter with a spatula and wrap it in paper. Eggs came in barrels or baskets, brown or white, large or small, and you picked as many as you wanted.

Then there was the groente boer (vegetable store), the aardappellen boer (potato store), the slagerij (butchery), the drogisterij (drugstore), and the apotheek (pharmacy).

The vis boer or vis boerin (fish man or woman) usually came around to the house. We had a woman who came from Scheveningen, the fishing harbor adjacent to The Hague. She always wore the traditional fisherman’s costume – a long, voluminous black skirt with several white underskirts, a colorful blouse with a white lace scarf, a white cotton and lace cap with gold ornaments, and wooden shoes called klompen. She had a small pushcart. Moeder would select the fish she wanted and the woman would clean and fillet it. We would have sole, flounder, turbot or codfish. Often Moeder would buy the delicious shelled and cooked tiny

shrimps to be eaten on a slice of bread with a bit of salt and pepper.

Another vendor who plied the streets was the fertilizer man. He came around with a fairly large flatbed cart drawn by a horse. He would loudly call as he went through the streets, “Heerlike, dikke, vette koeie poep! Een kwartje een emmer!” (Delicious, thick, fat cow poop! A quarter per pail!) Depending on the direction of the wind, you could smell him coming or going for a block. Vader would occasionally buy a pail-full for our little garden.

The bakkerij (bakery) generally sold only loaves of bread  – white, brown or roggebrood (black, slightly sweet rye), krenten brood (raisin bread), krenten bolletjes (raisin rolls) and kadetjes (soft white rolls). But many people, we included, had a bakker, bakery man, come to their house.

Hygiene did not place high on their list of virtues. On more than one occasion I saw the bakery delivery man go into one of the public urinals (the one nearest to us was a two-minute walk) that did not provide a sink for hand washing. Then he would come to the house, park his pushcart at the curb and open the lid. Clamping his large wicker basket between his stomach and the side of the cart, he would ceremoniously use the large tongs provided by the store for the purposes of hygiene and pick up a loaf of bread with them. Then he would transfer the loaf into his free (but unwashed) hand and drop it into the basket. He repeated this ritual for the next few items. After either our maid Anna or whoever else had announced her choice, the man would employ the same procedure in reverse, transferring the selected loaves into our basket. Who knew or cared about germs!Read more of Rudy’s memories in the next issue of AtHome.

Residents WriteDIVORCE

By Bernice Hunold

The last time I mentioned Janie and Chuck (the parents of Josh, the German shepherd), they told us they were separating. My husband, Ray, and I wondered whether we would have to adopt Josh, Homer’s father, and so would have two huge shepherds in  our studio apartment. That didn’t happen.

In the summer, Janie and Chuck, with Josh, went to visit friends in the country.  They left together. They returned separately  – without Josh.

Josh stayed with their country friends, who had, of course, fallen in love with him.  Josh’s habit of chewing up houses when left alone wouldn’t be a problem, because these people had a dozen children – enough so that one child could always stay with Josh. He would never be left alone again.

We lost touch with Janie and Chuck for a few years after they moved away.  But one day Janie suddenly appeared at our door.  I was surprised and glad to see her.  We hugged. I began to notice that she looked a little older. (But who doesn’t?) She had a discontented look.

Tears came to her eyes as she knelt down to greet Homer. I was puzzled. I left her in the living room playing with Homer and went into the kitchen to make tea and brownies.

Over tea, Janie told me what had happened. She had just been to see Josh. At this point in her life she had dancing jobs in the city

and so could turn down  road trips and could take Josh back – if he wanted to come back.

“Did he?” I asked.Janie shook her head. “I asked my friends

to leave me alone in the room with Josh for our first reunion.  When I saw him, I hugged him hard  and then I made the mistake of trying to get him back to our old familiar footing. I began to wrestle with him. Josh thrust me away from him with his feet. And then – I just couldn’t believe it  – I heard a deep low growl coming  from his throat. Josh was growling at me!”

She burst into tears. I put my arms around her and after a while she went on.

“How betrayed Josh must have felt when I left him. He wasn’t going to trust me again. And neither was Chuck. I lost both of them.”

One Friday morning, back in January, recreation coordinator Richard Goldberg took an out-of-the-blue phone call directed to the creative arts center. The caller was Andrea Montlouis out of Michigan, and her query to Richard was whether a mural her mother, Angelina (Angela) Minutoli, “painted at the Hebrew Home for the Aged” was still here. Richard assured Andrea it was, and sent her photos to prove it. Andrea’s response was a sincere “Thank you for taking such beautiful care of my mother’s mural,” along with some details, newspaper articles and archival photographs.

MYSTERY OF THE MURAL … SOLVEDPerhaps you, like many of us, have wondered about the origins of the mural that graces the wall in our main building. Wonder no more, for the artist – and artistry – responsible for this wonderful work of wall art has been revealed.

Pauline, who sat quietly week after week, without ever speaking, motioned me over to her side. She told me how much she had learned and enjoyed all the interesting subjects I presented each week at our living history classes. She especially liked the origins of “things,” like the development of the safety pin, or the history of canned food, and why it took 50 years between its inception and the invention of the can opener. (What did people use?)

Her decision not to join the conversation, she continued, was because she learned just by listening. And I learned not everyone needs to share verbally.

This wonderful woman called me a treasure. I called her a “90s woman.” She is 97 years old! We hugged, as generations blended. Only later did I learn that she had been the principal of a high school for 45 years.

In a nursing home setting, never assume anything about anybody. The many verbal residents need to be heard; the silent ones are there in some sense  – remembering, reliving, foot-tapping to some music of the heart, smiling, needing hugs, and getting them.

People sometimes forget who you are and what you said minutes after you’ve said it, but they live in the moment, and those moments string together to form memories of the heart.

Each person has a story to tell, a life they have lived and shared with loved ones. They still have hopes and dreams, and yes, fears for the future. They were once people of stature. Look closely … they still are.

Excerpted from LITA News:Every Tuesday morning, Fran Hament comes to our home, newspapers in hand, rain or shine. It is the highlight of our week. She is not only beautiful and intelligent, but has a personality that won’t quit. We hope she is with us for many years. Thank you, Board of Education, for providing this treasure. She is just that.

Sincerely,Lillian Fenton, President, Residents CouncilHillside Care Center, San Rafael

Happenings at HomePARTYING AND PERFORMING AT PURIMIn the tradition of Purim, residents and staff gathered to feast, make merry, and read the M’gilah (the Book of Esther). Always a highlight of this holiday is dressing up for the Purim spiel, performing silly theatrical adaptations of the story of the M’gilah, and taking the opportunity to poke some gentle fun at ourselves and our idiosyncrasies.

Ten years ago, April 1, when I became a resident of the Jewish Home, it was as a widow, after spending close to 50 years of marriage, in the Garden State of New Jersey. At that time, I was sitting on the runway of my new life, preparing for a take-off to San Francisco.

You residents who are here are gifted, elite because you indicate by your presence that you, too, are able to fly. So, what I’m about to say may sound a bit crazy. I want to urge you not to fly, but to walk. Whenever each of you walked into the entrance of the Home, you walked into a marvelous facility with a five-star rating.

The “W” in walk stands for “WITNESS.” When you walk, you undoubtedly see more. Higher speeds smudge our peripheral vision. A walking pace is the speed of our Jewish Home community.

The “A” in walk stands for “ACCEPT.”The “L” in walk stands for “LOVE.” The love

I’m talking about is the kind of love that knows only one thing: the loving care I’ve received.

The “K” in walk stands for kindness, which is a dominant feature on the part of staff and Administration.

As I walked, witnessed, accepted, and was treated with love and kindness, my life in the Home became deeply enriched.

This is a new beginning for my successor, Edie Shaffer. We wish her boundless success and good health in her new role as she becomes president of the Council of Residents.
