[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 188274, member: 1991"] Wonderful! Congratulations, Esther! Mazel Tov! I like their names, too. Lovely, and they have a lot more valid meaning than some of the (sometimes silly, in my opinion) names that kids seem to get these days. One of my husband's ancestors was named after the ship that brought them to Australia - Palmyra! I like what you do for them when they start school, too. That is a lovely idea. Whenever I hear the word "satchel" it conjures up the image of the old, leather sort with straps and buckles at the front. Something much smaller than the more commonly used backpacks these days. For me, a satchel is only slightly bigger than a sporran (but without all the fur and silver on the more expensive, ornate ones). I hope the Bat Mitzvah on the 9th is a wonderful family day for you and her. My mother had 24 grandchildren by the time she died - the last 4 were mine. But she was a lot older than you by the time she reached No 20. She had about 6 great-grandchildren by then, too. If your eldest granddaughter plans to study medicine then it could be some years before she gives you any great-grandchildren! Marg [/QUOTE]
