funny memory: at the gathering before my grandmother's funeral, in the midst of the somber murmers and quiet conversations, my mother burst out happily and loudly, "IT'S DOODLE!"
"doodle" was the nickname of one of my mom's girlhood friends, who had shown up unannounced because she had seen my grandmother's obituary. she and my mom hadn't seen one another for maybe 40 years.
it makes me laugh every time i think of it. IT'S DOODLE!
