New additions edition

View from the living room window.

View from the front door. The primary school is the white building in the middle of the frame, farthest back.

Birthday presents!



New stove, with temperature controls! (Our old one didn't have any controls.)

BAAaarrrrthday dinner!

We went to an Asian restaurant for dinner and had some sushi and Thai food. Yummy!


The Hybels celebrated with me.



Julie made me this cake! Can you tell what it is yet?


Wishing that the cake will taste good. :)

AAaaarrr! It's a pirate, matey!

Mmmm, good coffee.

Hanging out with Cyclops, one of the X-men. She helped make the cake.

Vanilla pound cake with chai spice ganache and buttercream frosting. So good!!

Birthday morning!

All Saints' Day

Despite my disagreements with this day, it is still a nice time for remembrances. Here is our visit to Kris's parents' (Władysław and Stanisława, although she went by Barbara) grave site, in the cemetery on the edge of town.

Hitchhikers Guide to Rząska (Don't Panic)

To help you understand where I live, I will delineate things by describing the bus stops on our journey to Krakow...

Home (across the street from the soccer club)
Zero stop - Primary school
First stop - Convent; Agricultural University horse training center
Second stop - large military communications complex
Third stop - Cemetery #1 (always on the edge of towns, now leaving Rząska)
Fourth stop - Cemetery #2 (always on the edge of towns, now entering Krakow)
Fifth stop - Motel Krak (not to be confused with Crack Motel)
Sixth stop - IKEA! KFC! McDONALDS! MAKRO (Sam's club)!
Seventh stop - leave bus for trams

I think there are a few more stops in there, but these are the most enlightening ones for you, the reader.


Kris's Halloween costume.
