Saturday night, sitting on the balcony at the table and looking up at the deep blue sky I can see a few silver speckles of stars hanging in space representing a few of the millions of stars above me but the electric street lights and house lights prevent any real view of stars like the night Joan and I spent on top of a mountain in Colorado, warm in our sleeping bags, staying up all night to watch the world turn before our eyes as the stars moved from right to left in front of us. We were 14,000 feet above sea level with no lights and the stars were ever Even from our house to that but not as quite so many stars. However, we were treated to another marvelous sight, the dancing gases of the Aurora Borealis reflecting it's beautiful spectacle of colors on the waters of the lake and in the sky. Even from our house it was possible to lay at night in lawn chairs and watch the show. We had a valley behind our house and when the dance began, it covered the whole sky.
When I look to my left, through the window, on the walls I see the dozens of family pictures that make up the museum of my family history displayed before my eyes reminding me everyday of all the people I am connected to through blood. of all the years, months, days, hours, it took to gather the information I have now back to the 1700's and what will happen to it now that my own son is dead. There isn't a room in our flat where pictures don't remind me. Only cousin Krzysztof has the same interest in genealogy as I do but none of the younger generations show any. I have no regret about the work I put into this, I only regret I have no son to leave it to now.
Earlier we received an email from the U.S, Embassy in Warsaw about completing a new Federal Post Card Application. We must complete a new FPCA to ensure we receive our ballot for the 2018 elections. The completion of the FPCA allows us to request absentee ballots for all elections for federal offices (President, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives)
including primaries and special elections during the calendar year in
which it is submitted. The FPCA is accepted by all local election
officials in all U.S. states and territories.
I went to the website, setup accounts for both of us, filled out the formd, printed them and took them to be scanned o a pendrive, When I got back home I emailed them to Illinois. Now we just wait until September to get our ballots for the November 6 elections.
Sobotnia noc, 艣wiat艂a gwiazd, gwiazdy, 艣wiat艂a, gwiazdy, 艣wiat艂a, gwiazdy realnego widoku gwiazd i reszty 艣wiata na 艣wiecie. Mieli艣my 14 000 st贸p nad poziomem morza. Zostali艣my jednak potraktowani do innego cudownego widoku, ta艅ca Aurory Borealis odbijaj膮cej si臋 nad jeziorem. Nawet widok na dom. Wok贸艂 naszego domu by艂a dolina.
Kiedy patrz臋 na moj膮 rodzin臋, obserwuj臋 moj膮 rodzin臋. Jestem po艂膮czony z moj膮 rodzin膮. Jestem pod艂膮czony do mojej krwi. Moje 偶ycie jest martwe, zobacz臋 to wszystko. W naszym mieszkaniu nie ma pokoju, w kt贸rym zdj臋cia mi nie przypominaj膮. Jedynie kuzyn Krzysztof ma takie samo zainteresowanie genealogi膮 jak ja, ale 偶adna z m艂odszych generacji nie wykazuje. Nie 偶a艂uj臋 tej pracy. Nie mam syna, kt贸ry by to zostawi艂.
Wcze艣niej otrzymali艣my e-mail od ambasady USA w Warszawie o wype艂nieniu nowej federalnej aplikacji pocztowej. Musimy uko艅czy膰 now膮 FPCA, aby zapewni膰 nasze g艂osowanie w wyborach w 2018 roku. Prezydent
Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, przewodnicz膮cy Senatu Stan贸w Zjednoczonych i
Izba Reprezentant贸w USA, w tym osoby startuj膮ce, kt贸re zosta艂y
zg艂oszone do wybor贸w. FPCA jest przyjmowana przez wszystkich lokalnych urz臋dnik贸w wybranych we wszystkich stanach i terytoriach USA.
Wr贸ci艂em do strony internetowej, wr贸ci艂em, wr贸ci艂em do strony internetowej. Wys艂a艂em je e-mailem do Illinois. Teraz czekamy tylko na wrzesie艅, aby uzyska膰 nasze karty do g艂osowania w wyborach 6 listopada.
