Shopping day costs 147 PLN($38) for this coming week's food. Joan needed eyeliner and the only place that had what she uses is Auchan, another Walmart type store on the other side of town so we went there first. They didn't have the brand she wanted this time and she had to settle for something else. Her normal eyeliner is washable but this one didn't say if it was or wasn't. It was cheaper so I'm thinking it may not be washable. We will find out when she tries to take it off.
Last night she made a tasty dinner of Salmon and boiled potatoes with dill. We like Salmon. This past week we had 4 nights of new dinners from the Med. style of eating. Another thing we discovered is we like the idea of bread, peanut butter, and bananas for breakfast. Not every day, but it's a good change from m煤sli.
We've reached the peak f Autumn and the leaves are dropping, exposing the limbs and branches of the trees. It's still colorful but that will be fading soon.
Only 2 weeks until Nov. 1st and we make a trip to Golina to put flowers and candles on the grave of my ancestors, aunts, and uncles. I like this day very much.
The picture above is the Pesheekee River in the U.P. of Michigan in Autumn. I spent a few days there a long time ago with my friend Mike Davis and his partner, Mary O'Donnell build a log house for someone during springtime. The river was much deeper then and ran faster. For fun, one day we built a log raft to float down the river but Mike fall off and I had no way to control the raft. It took me over boulders and was heading for a bridge where Mike and jumped in the car to try to catch me. Fortunately, a bend in the river took the raft close enough to the shore for him to do that. It was both a fun and exciting time.
I've made an effort this last month not to mention my opinions on politics or climate change and it hasn't been easy to be silent when it creeps into my thoughts. So, I have decided to make Saturday my ranting day on those subjects. If you don't want to hear about it, just don't read my blog on Saturday. The other 6 days will not contain those 2 subjects and we can carry on like the world is in great shape.
Dzie艅 zakup贸w, koszt 147 PLN (38 USD) za 偶ywno艣膰 w nadchodz膮cym tygodniu. Joan potrzebowa艂a kredki do oczu, a jedynym miejscem, w kt贸rym mia艂a to, czego u偶ywa, jest Auchan, kolejny sklep typu Walmart, po drugiej stronie miasta, wi臋c najpierw tam pojechali艣my. Tym razem nie mieli tej marki, kt贸rej chcia艂a i musia艂a zadowoli膰 si臋 czym艣 innym. Jej normalny eyeliner mo偶na my膰, ale na tym nie jest powiedziane, czy tak, czy nie. By艂o ta艅szy, wi臋c my艣l臋, 偶e nie mo偶na. Dowiemy si臋, kiedy spr贸buje to usun膮膰.
Zesz艂ego wieczoru zrobi艂a smaczny obiad z 艂ososia i gotowanych ziemniak贸w z koperkiem. Lubimy 艂ososia. W ubieg艂ym tygodniu mieli艣my 4 wieczory z nowymi obiadami wzi臋tymi z diety 艣r贸dziemnomorskiej. Kolejn膮 rzecz膮, kt贸r膮 odkryli艣my, jest to, 偶e na 艣niadanie podoba nam si臋 chleb, mas艂o orzechowe i banany. Nie ka偶dego dnia, ale to dobra zmiana od musli.
Dotarli艣my do szczytu jesieni i li艣cie opadaj膮, ods艂aniaj膮c ko艅czyny i ga艂臋zie drzew. Nadal jest kolorowo, ale wkr贸tce kolory b臋d膮 blakn膮膰.
Tylko 2 tygodnie do 1 listopada i wybieramy si臋 do Golina, aby po艂o偶y膰 kwiaty i 艣wiece na grobie moich przodk贸w, ciotek i wujk贸w. Bardzo lubi臋 ten dzie艅.
Zdj臋cie powy偶ej to rzeka Pesheekee w U.P. z Michigan jesieni膮. Dawno temu sp臋dzi艂em tam kilka dni z moim przyjacielem Mikiem Davisem i jego partnerk膮, Mary O'Donnell, buduj膮c dla kogo艣 dom z bali na wiosn臋. Rzeka by艂a wtedy znacznie g艂臋bsza i p艂yn臋艂a szybciej. Dla zabawy, pewnego dnia zbudowali艣my tratw臋 do p艂ywania w d贸艂 rzeki, ale Mike spad艂 i nie mia艂em sposobu, aby kontrolowa膰 tratw臋. Poprowadzi艂 mnie przez g艂azy i zmierza艂 do mostu, gdzie Mike wskoczy艂 do samochodu, 偶eby mnie z艂apa膰. Na szcz臋艣cie zakr臋t w rzece zbli偶y艂 tratw臋 wystarczaj膮co blisko brzegu, aby m贸g艂 to zrobi膰. To by艂 zar贸wno zabawny, jak i ekscytuj膮cy czas.
W zesz艂ym miesi膮cu stara艂em si臋 nie wspomina膰 o moich opiniach na temat polityki lub zmian klimatu i nie by艂o 艂atwo milcze膰, kiedy wkradaj膮 si臋 w moje my艣li. Postanowi艂em wi臋c uczyni膰 sobot臋 moim rozdzieraj膮cym dniem na te tematy. Je艣li nie chcesz o tym s艂ysze膰, po prostu nie czytaj mojego bloga w sobot臋. Pozosta艂e 6 dni nie b臋dzie zawiera膰 tych 2 temat贸w i mo偶emy kontynuowa膰 tak, jakby 艣wiat by艂 w 艣wietnej formie.
