AAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

(Note from Ruth: I know the picture is sideways, there is a reason. Also, for all of the pictures in the blog, you should be able to see them bigger if you click on them.)

it is late and Basia is not home, but Jubi is asleep. She crawled up into my lap while I was writing Avice and fell asleep. the last several days have been HUGE!!!! Sunday was five hours in the HOT HOT HOT watching mom paint at the Days of Glogow Dni Glogow Festival. It was not well attended and the vendors pretty much stunk. It is such a beautiful place that if someone put some work into getting some interesting vendors it could be magnificent. There was live music all day and half the night that was excellent. Just nothing worth spending one's money on and that is what those things are about. Or so it seems. Lots of good junk food. Jubi did great but was exhausted of course (so was I and I think Basia was pretty beat, too). I worked the entire time on one half sized paper so it is totally overworked. I did most of the time drawing what I saw. I would wait for someone interesting to walk past and then try to sketch them REALLY FAST!


I am too tired to correct this. Maybe Ruth will. Hint hint!

then Monday we went ran errands with Basia and then later went to her grandmother's farm. Jubilee chased chickens out of the house and we saw pigs and 12 piglets. SNORT SNORT. Jubi snorts really well. She got into the Polish equivalent of bullnettle but I had some gel benedryl that was amazing so it was clear within a few hours. We ate with Grandma and watched a documentary about holocaust with Polish and Ukrainian victims. One did not need much language skill to understand.
I AM SO TIRED!

There is so much I want to share but I AM SO TIRED!

Tomorrow we go to Berlin to stay at a TROPICAL ISLAND! they have built a lake with an island and sand and everything and it is ALL under a dome! It is open 12 months a year and if you are there on the weekend you can sleep "outside" on the sand. we are going during the week so I don't know what we will do or where we will sleep but wherever it sounds great. www.my-tropical-islands.com is the web address.


Okay, it was too hot to eat today. I had an ice cream cone (they are tiny here) and some apricots but that is about all. Maybe that is part of the problem, but I am carrying enough "baby" weight that I can afford to skip a few meals. Jubi, though, she is not eating so well in this heat and she does not have the reserves. Maybe tomorrow while we are in the car I can coax her into eating. At least the a/c is working.Pray for travel safety and opportunities to be Jesus with skin on to each other and those we meet.

Oh, I think I met an angel. Remind me to tell you about it.

Love, Gwen
