Students.




You're probably tired of hearing this but yet another beautiful weather day in Pozna艅.

We spent the morning cleaning, dusting, vacuming, laundry and then in the afternoon went to the rynek. The place was full of people, so unlike yesterday. Most likely it was caused by the influx of students coming back to Pozna艅 to start the next school year. What a difference a day makes! Yesterday it was empty and today it is full. Good for the Pozna艅 economy though, with the return of the students.

I had an email from cousin Mary Ann Bergevin who told me that looking through stuff in her mother's house she found a box of assorted pictures, many from Poland in the 1960's. There were quite a few pictures of Sister Illuminata. She didn't know how she was related to her so I replied, told her and asked her to scan the pictures and send them to me. It is always exciting to know there are more pictures out there that I don't have.

She also found a memo book of her grandfather's, Joseph Rajewski. He named the brothers and sisters of Stanislaw Rajewski, our great-great grandfather. Some of this information he wrote when he was 97 years old.

Joan told me that our bedroom looks a little bare compared to our other rooms and so we decided to enlarge some of the pictures I have taken and hang them up in the bedroom. I selected a few and she made the final decision on the ones above.




Jeste艣 prawdopodobnie zm臋czony ze s艂yszenia tego ale jeszcze inny pi臋kna pogoda dzie艅 w Pozna艅.

Sp臋dzili艣my ranek czyszcz膮cy, zakurz膮c, vacumming i pralnia i wtedy po po艂udniu poszli艣my do rynek. Miejsce by艂o pe艂ne ludzi, tak niepodobne wczoraj. Najbardziej prawdopodobnie to by艂o spowodowane przez przyp艂yw student贸w wracaj膮cych do Pozna艅 by zacz膮膰 nast臋pny rok szkolny. Jaka r贸偶nica dzie艅 robi! Wczoraj to by艂o puste i dzisiaj to jest pe艂ne. Dobry dla ekonomii Pozna艅 chocia偶 z powrotem student贸w.

Mia艂em email od kuzyna Mary Ann Bergevin, kt贸ra powiedzia艂a mi, kt贸re przegl膮daj膮ce rzeczy w domu jej matki ona znalaz艂a pude艂ko dobranych zdj臋膰, wielu z Polski w 1960. Tam byli ca艂kiem kilka zdj臋膰 Bli藕niaczego Illuminata. Ona nie zrobi艂a do艣wiadczenie ona by艂a zwi膮zana do niej tak odpowiedzia艂em, powiedzia艂em jej i poprosi艂em, 偶eby ona przejrza艂a obrazy i wys艂a膰 ich do mnie. To zawsze ekscytuje wiedzie膰 tam s膮 wi臋cej zdj臋膰 poza tam, 偶e nie mam.

Ona te偶 znalaz艂a ksi膮偶k臋 mema jej dziadka, Josepha Rajewski. On nazwa艂 braci i siostry Stanislaw Rajewski, naszego wielkiego wielkiego dziadka. Troch臋 z tej informacji, kt贸r膮 on napisa艂 kiedy on mia艂 97 lat.
Joan powiedzia艂a mi, 偶e nasza sypialnia wygl膮da na troch臋 nagiego por贸wnanego z naszym inne pokoje i tak zdecydowali艣my si臋 powi臋kszy膰 kilka z obraz贸w wzi膮艂em i zawieszam ich w sypialni. Wybra艂em kilka i ona zrobi艂a decyzj臋 definitywn膮 na jednych powy偶ej.
