Alice in InfoLand

(kvel) verb intr. To feel proud; to beam; to gloat. [From Yiddish kveln, from German quellen (to gush, to well up)]
I am delighted to announce that:

• on February 14 my daughter Abigail and her husband John became the proud (if scared) owners of their first house.
• on February 17 my son Daniel proposed to his lovely Carmelita, and she accepted both him and the ring that MY grandmother brought to America almost 100 years ago.

Who knows what else the future might bring? …only the Shadow knows.
