Sunday Visit.

This is the flower shop of cousin Marcelina and Władek Kielar.






A Polish game, similar to checkers.

Sunday morning I spent putting together the shelves, PC desk and chair delivered Saturday night. In the afternoon we took two new bus routes to get to cousin Marcelina's house in Smochowice, a district north of where we live. We made the right connections and then walked the 8 blocks to her house. I haven't been there in four years but had no trouble recognizing the house. We were greeted at the gate by Pola, Marcelina and her husband Władek. We sat and talked for a while and then Marcelina and Pola went to church while we stayed home and played Domca, a kind of Polish checkers game. The figurines are wooden and painted like women. Pola calls the game "babushki". After we finished playing we walked the 6 or so blocks to the flower shop Marcelina opened about two years ago. It's a very nice place with a great selection of not only flowers but glass ware, small trees, candles, shrubs, some plates and other items. We met Pola and Marcelina there, they were making up a bouquet of roses. We drove back to the house and about 30 minutes later Władek drove us home. We're glad he did because it was pretty chilly outside and I didn't want to think about waiting for buses outside. Buying a car is becoming more and more real as the weather turns cold :-)
