Today I took the picture of Joan's mother to an agency who does the kind of work I needed. It was referred by the Kodak shop I went to yesterday but as it turned out Kodak had an old address and I couldn't find them. I called their phone number and found they had moved a year ago to a new location but only one building away from where they were before so it was no problem to find them.
After looking at the photo the owner said they could fix 90% of the picture and I agreed to that. He asked me where I was from and when I said Chicago he smiled and said that his great grandfather had immigrated to Chicago in the early 1900's with his 12 sons and only one returned to Poland, the owners grandfather. He said I looked very similar to his grandfather and asked me to wait while he went upstairs to his apartment to get his picture. When he brought it back down I had to agree that we did look similar. He asked me if I had any family in my history named Bera and I told him not that I was aware of. We talked for about 20 minutes about Chicago and immigration histories, he told me he would call me in three weeks when the picture was ready and I then left.
3 butterflies decided to pay a visit this morning to the purple flowers on our balcony. I took a few pictures and then looked at the progress of the new building. Moving right along.
Dzisiaj zrobi艂em zdj臋cie matki Joanny do agencji, kt贸ra ma rodzaj pracy potrzebne. Zosta艂 on przed艂o偶ony przez sklep Kodak poszed艂em do wczoraj, ale jak si臋 okaza艂o mia艂 Kodak stary adres i nie mog艂em ich znale藕膰. Nazwa艂em sw贸j numer telefonu i znale藕膰 mieli rok temu przeni贸s艂 si臋 do nowej lokalizacji, ale tylko jeden budynek od kt贸rych by艂y przed wi臋c nie by艂o problemu, aby je znale藕膰.
Po patrz膮c na zdj臋cie w艂a艣ciciel powiedzia艂, 偶e mo偶e wyznaczy膰 90% obrazu i zgodzi艂em si臋 na to. Zapyta艂 mnie, gdzie jestem i kiedy powiedzia艂em Chicago u艣miechn膮艂 si臋 i powiedzia艂, 偶e jego pradziadek wyemigrowa艂 do Chicago na pocz膮tku 1900 z jego 12 syn贸w i tylko jeden powr贸ci艂 do Polska, dziadek w艂a艣cicieli. Powiedzia艂, 偶e wygl膮da艂a bardzo podobnie jak jego dziadek i zapyta艂 mnie czeka膰, podczas gdy on poszed艂 na g贸r臋 do swojego mieszkania, aby jego obraz. Kiedy przywi贸z艂 go z powrotem w d贸艂 musia艂em zgodzi膰 si臋, 偶e nie wygl膮daj膮 podobnie. Zapyta艂 mnie, czy mam 偶adnej rodziny w mojej historii o nazwie Bera i powiedzia艂em mu, 偶e nie by艂em 艣wiadomy. Powiedzieli艣my przez oko艂o 20 minut o Chicago i historia imigracji, powiedzia艂 mi, wo艂a艂 do mnie w ci膮gu trzech tygodni, kiedy obraz by艂 gotowy i nast臋pnie w lewo.
3 motyle postanowi艂 odwiedzi膰 dzi艣 rano do purpurowe kwiaty na naszym balkonie. I zrobi艂em kilka zdj臋膰, a nast臋pnie spojrza艂 na post臋py w nowym budynku. Przemieszczaj膮cych si臋 w prawo wzd艂u偶.
