Three friends came to visit us and brought food and desserts.
Kuba was first. Years ago, I helped him, his brother, Max, and his sister, Andrea, improve their speaking in English. That seems like a lifetime ago. His mom, Renata, is the owner of the flat we live in now. She sent Kuba with food and desserts for our Christmas. It was great to see him again. He has become a fine adult.
Marcin, and his son, Maciej, visited about an hour later with wine, jelly and cookies that, Dorota, his wife had made. Maciej was also an old student of mine.
I have many cousins in Poznan, but only friends are the ones who visit. Strange.
Everything is closed for the next three days for the holidays. I thought, since Paige was coming at 11:00 to sit with Joan, I would wait until then to do my weekly food shopping. BIG mistake!
The supermarket was packed with people and the lines to checkout were very long. Evenat the electronic checkout. What usually takes me 45 minutes to do, ended up taking 2 hours. i won't make that mistake next year. I will never do that again!
