Yanek, a real Polish patriot

Posted by Bopcha on
Yanek was a survivor. Of World War II, and the upheaval following the war, and he was the reason Irka chose to remain in Poland, altlhough her sisters, Jean and Vilma, and her mother,Anyella (phonetic spelling) chose to come to the United States. He was also a great gardener. He would disappear (when I was there) and come back with a pail of wild mushrooms he had gathered from somewhere. Yurek is his grandson. I thought the pictures were great, but I am confused about the baby. Is that Yurek's daughter? It seems the daughter should be older than that.



Today was my exercise class, and a lecture afterwards about stretching. It makes me want to go out an teach the things I learned in class. It is just a passing thought because my friends and children are much younger than me and probably know more about it than I do. Next week is balance.



A plumber is coming to the house tomorrow to fix something that leaks in the upstairs bathroom. He 'fixed' it last January. It means I will have to be here when he comes at 9 a.m. so I won't be able to work at the Gleaners the full day. I don't need to show up until l0 a.m. so maybe I can stilll make it.



I haven't written to Yurek yet. I just can't find the words to express myself. Love, Bopcha
