Jan 13, 2010 Wednesday


First garage sale on the beach and the sea is so rough that the fishermen are not fishing...only the lobster guys are going  out. stayed for 2 hours. dols some. went to buy all the paint gear for Sunday so we can paint the old plant in preparation for the recycling center.


Pancho came over with some huge Portobello mushrooms, so I stuffed them and made a polish mushroom sauce for the pierrogi plus 2 salads and we all ate to our hearts contect


change of plans - we rae going to san diego earlier than planed. this way we can pick up all the tournament stuff ourselves, and we can go to Marek and Sarah's wedding. most importantly, Les seems too tired all the time and he went for an EKG. according to doctors here, he is fine. according to nurse practitioner in san diego, the machine is too old and she can't read it. better tog oa nd check everything out.  seems like we just got back. seems like a wste of time. but if les feels better going, we shall go. quality of life folks, quit the smoking early (if you are stupid enough to start), watch the weight and suger levels. keep fit. neither of us are taking home medals for any of the above - both do not exercise, both overweight and both used to smoke way back in the day. now we are paying for it.


on a more fun note: tomorrow is turkey day !!  since we were not here for xmas, we have an extra turkey and we are making the whole shebang !!  turkey and gravy and mashed potatoes and salad and homemade applesauce and we probably even have cranberry ...


the doctors are learning well. but I am mostly impressed with my little kids.  they are smart and speak so well !!!  even tho i am the teacher, i am very very very impressed with their level of comprehension. even the 6 year old can whip it out !!!  he is good ! turns out, little kids just have to hear it. their brains will figure out the rest. automatically. we overcorrect as adults. we censure ourselves. we want perfection right away. the little ones spit out the  incorrect and upon hearing the correct version, auto correct.


yesterday i did 2 portuguese english translations. one was about how Sweden is planting 4 trees for every one that it cuts for paper/furniture. so it has more forest area now than it did 100 years ago. i tell you  - what imostly noticed all over Europe is trees trees trees. everywhere trees. they are definitely taking care of their forests.

got some pictures of Poland today and they are under tons of snow !

Haiti had an earthquake yesterday. horrible mess. death.  people and equipment and food is arriving but how do you get it form place to place when all the roads are impassable ??

Heard that Lynn got a job ... she in an attorney in Florida and it took her months to find one but she did it !!! so proud of her !!
