So here it is at last, the recipe you wanted :-)

A ring from the buzzer to our door started my heart racing this morning.  Could they have arrived already? I'v been waiting with anticipation since last week and didn't  think they would arrive until this Friday or next Monday.  I opened the door and there stood the postman with a package.  I signed for it, looked at the return address and my day was made.  They are here!!  The DVD's from my sister with old pictures and documents.  I tore open the package and found 3 DVD's, prayer cards, old Easter cards, obituaries and almost 100 pictures on the DVD's plus original pictures in another envelope.  I immediately went to the laptop, put in the first DVD and found pictures I had never seen before of my father, brother, sister, aunts, uncles, grandparents and much more. The documents give me a whole lot of clues to new things to search for and even answered my question if my grandfather had more than one brother.  He did and he had also immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900's.  I found his name in a search I did years ago but could never connect him to my family, now I have the proof.  How exciting!
I've been looking at the pictures all night and don't even want to go to bed because there are SOOOOO
many new possibilities now.  It's like Christmas all over again.

Pier艣cionek z brz臋czyk do naszych drzwi zacz膮艂em bicie serca rano. Czy przybyli ju偶? I'v czekali z niecierpliwo艣ci od zesz艂ego tygodnia i nie s膮dz臋, przybycia do czasu w ten pi膮tek lub nast臋pny poniedzia艂ek. Otworzy艂em drzwi i stan膮艂 listonosz z pakietem. Podpisa艂em go, spojrza艂 na adres zwrotny i m贸j dzie艅 zosta艂 z艂o偶ony. S膮 tutaj!DVD od mojej siostry ze starych zdj臋膰 i dokument贸w. I rozerwa艂 opakowanie i znaleziono 3 DVD, karty modlitwy, stare karty wielkanocne, nekrologi i prawie 100 zdj臋膰 na DVD plus zdj臋cia oryginalne w innej kopercie. I natychmiast uda艂 si臋 do laptopa, umie艣ci膰 w pierwszym DVD i znale藕膰 zdj臋cia i nigdy wcze艣niej nie widzia艂em mojego ojca, brata, siostry, ciotki, wujowie, dziadkowie i wiele wi臋cej. Dokumenty daj膮 mi du偶o wskaz贸wek do nowych rzeczy do wyszukiwania i nawet odpowiedzi na moje pytanie, czy m贸j dziadek mia艂 wi臋cej ni偶 jednego brata. Zrobi艂 i mia艂 r贸wnie偶 wyemigrowa艂 do USA na pocz膮tku 1900. Znalaz艂em jego nazw臋 w wyszukiwarce zrobi艂em lat temu, ale nigdy nie m贸g艂 pod艂膮czy膰 go do mojej rodziny, teraz mam dow贸d. Jak ekscytuj膮ce!
Szuka艂em na zdj臋cia ca艂膮 noc i nawet nie chc臋 i艣膰 do 艂贸偶ka, bo s膮 SOOOOO
wiele nowych mo偶liwo艣ci teraz. To jak Bo偶e Narodzenie na nowo.
