Family for Christmas

Monday, December 21st, 2009

We will have the extended family (brothers and cousins)  over Christmas Eve for initial gift sharing. This will be after the immediate family enjoys Christmas Eve dinner (a Polish Wagilia) at sundown. Then, Christmas morning is the big present opening time and, after that, we’ll be having an open house for family and friends to [...]

Easter

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Today we’re having the family over for Easter. At least as much of the family we can get — some are sick, some are with other parts of the family and some are just too far away. Happy Easter all!

Power is back

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

We’ve had a few power outages here. This morning the power was out for about 5 hours. That means the tree was not lit and the pictures were not updating. But, PGE came through and we’re back!! There is still the problem of dealing with the foot of snow is a town that doesn’t know [...]

Finally decorating

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Counting Down to Thanksgiving

Almost Christmas

Friday, December 21st, 2007

The plan is to have wagilia (traditional polish Christmas Eve dinner) at sunset PST on Christmas Eve. Then our extended family will arrive for limited present opening. Christmas morning will be our traditional family present opening followed by a pleasant day of sitting around enjoying the peace of Christmas Day. Come and join us.

Ready to Decorate

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

The family will be over today to decorate the tree. It looks a lot better with lights on it. Speaking of lights, the Christmas Tree Angel and the garland lights can now be turned on and off. Remember to press ‘reload’ to see a new picture (another thing I might fix this week). Merry Christmas [...]

Change of Plans

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

The tree is not going up today. Family can’t come over to decorate the tree so the plan is now to put up the tree sometime this week and then have a big gathering next Saturday to decorate it. Stop on by and turn the angel on and off.

Easter dinner

Thursday, April 5th, 2007
