Dzień dobry! Bardzo dziękuję, Pani Elżbieto. Pogoda wprawdzie nie dopisała, ale być może się poprawi 😀
Since my father’s family came from Poland in the early 1900’s, information about the Polish heritage is very interesting to me. Thanks for the beautiful song honoring the anniversary of the Polish Constitution.
I’m very happy to read your words about your roots as well, Gypsy Bev. We can be proud of! With greetings and all good wishes for May 3 Holiday.
Always a joy!!!! Thank you! ❤
Always a wonderful and faithful friend REBECCA, thank YOU…
I always learn something on your blog, Wanda. Sorry I’ve been away so long. I still have lots to learn! 🙂 Hope you had a nice Mother’s Day. 🙂
Good evening. Marsha. I’ve been away so long as well 🙂 In Poland we celebrate Mother’s Day on 26th of May. It will be lovely Day 😀
Do you have children, Wanda? I’ll look forward to reading your post. 🙂
Good evening, Marsha. Yes, I have two adult sons. The elder one is an artist (a painter), the younger has just graduated from the University of Warsaw. How about you, Marsha? Do you have children?
I have one adult step-son who is a teacher, inventor and works for the State of California. He was 25 when I married my husband nearly 20 years ago. You sons sound very successful, and you sound very proud of them, so how wonderful is that? 🙂
Yes, Marsha, I am very proud of my sons. I am very grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to become acquainted with your son 🙂
