Zakonczenie sezonu pilki noznej mojego brata/My brother closed the season

Czesc!

Dzisiaj pochwale sie Wam moim przystojnym bratem, ktory od malego jest zapalonym pilkarzem i fanem pilki noznej! Nie przegapi zadnego meczu pilki noznej w telewizji, czasami wraz ze swoim tata chodzi na mecze, zna chyba wszystkich pilkarzy swiata i wszystkie kluby pilkarskie, wiec chyba nie jest to zadna niespodzianka, ze kilka razy w tygdoniu trenuje pilke nozna... Michal uczeszcza do klubu pilki noznej, ktorego czlonkowie spotykaja sie na boisku w podwarszawskich Zielonkach kolo Babic... Tak sie zlozylo, ze podczas mojego pobytu w Polsce mialam przyjemnosc uczestniczenia w zamknieciu tegorocznego sezonu... Njapierw byl mecz, a potem grill:) Teraz chlopaki czekaja na powrot do gry na jesieni:) 

Milego dnia!

Hi everyone!

Today I am going to praise my handsome brother who is a big soccer fan and player since he was a very little boy! He does not miss any soccer game on TV and sometimes he goes with his father to see soccer games. I think he knows almost all of the world soccer players and clubs so I do not think it is a surprise that he plays soccer couple times a week... Michal plays soccer in a club and members of this club meet on the field located in Zielonki close to Babice near Warsaw... It turned out that during my stay in Poland I had a pleasure to take part in close the season for this year... First there was a soccer game and then we had a grill:) Now boys wait for the fall to come back to the game:) 

Have a nice day!

Krótkie sprawozdanie z mojego przedlużonego pobytu w Polsce/Short report of my extended vacation in Poland



Czesc!


Wykorzystujac przedluzony pobyt w Polsce udalo mi sie zrobic wiele pozytecznych rzeczy, a przede wszystkim spedzic czas z rodzina, z mama, bratem, babcia i innymi! Jak wiecie moj kochany dziadek zmarl w kwietniu tego roku tuz przed moim przylotem... Przylecialam do Polski tydzien po jego pogrzebie... Mam wrazenie, ze wszystkie atrakcje i zajecia, ktore zapewnilam wraz z mama, bratem i ciocia babci "zdjely" z jej glowy swiadomosc, ze nie ma juz dziadka, z ktorym spedzila prawie 50 lat zycia... Akurat w lipcu tego roku obchodziliby swoje 50 lecie... Babcia byla tak zajeta podczas mojego pobytu, a jeszcze sama zajmuje sie dodatkowo wieloma aktywnosciami, ze ja mysle, ze jest naprawde "odpukac" w bardzo dobrej kondycji psychicznej po utracie tak bliskiej osoby... Jak juz wspominalam w poprzednim poscie zabralam mame, babcie i brata samolotem do Gdanska skad taksowka pojechalysmy na weekend do Sopotu. Zdazylysmy wybrac i kupic pomnik dla dziadka, pojezdzic po sklepach i narobic zakupow, kupic babci na imieniny nowa rame lozka w IKEI, a potem przemalowac, odswiezyc i urzadzic jej sypialnie... Ja rowniez mialam wklad w sprzedaz samochodu, ktorymi jezdzili dziadkowie, wysprzatalam pomnik mojego taty i kupilam mu nowe kwiaty oraz odbylam niezliczona ilosc "wycieczek" i innych atrakcji z mama i bratem, z ktorymi mieszkalam na codzien w naszym domu w Izabelinie, nie wspominajac juz o wszelkich grillach rodzinnych, ktore mialy miejsce podcza mojego pobytu w Polsce... Mysle, ze czas w Polsce wykorzystalam najlepiej jak tylko moglam po prawie trzyletniej nieobecnosci tam... 

Pozdrawiam!

My Birthday Boy!

Srodowy koncert w parku
                                                                                                                                                                

Hello!

Taking advantage of extended vacation in Poland I was able to do a lot of useful thing and the most important thing is that I was able to spend quality time with my family, mom, brother, grandmother and others! As you guys know my lovely grandpa passed away in April this year just before my arrival to Poland... I arrived to Poland one week after his funeral... I feel like all of attractions that I organized with mom, brother and my aunt took from my grandma mind awareness that there is no grandpa anymore that she spent with almost 50 years of life... This year in July they would be celebrating 50 years anniversary... Grandpa was so busy during my stay in Poland and she is in general a very active person, always trying to find something to do that I really think she is in a very good condition after a loss of  very close family member... As I mentioned in earlier post I took on the plane my mom, grandma, and my brother to Gdansk and then we went for a weekend to Sopot. We also chose and bought a grave for grandfather. We were shopping a lot in different stores and we also bought grandma a new bed frame from IKEA and then we painted and remodeled grandma bedroom. I also had an impact on my grandparents car sale... I cleaned my father grave and I bought him new flowers. I was spending a lot of time going places with my mom and brother because I was living with them in our house in Izabelin during this time. We also had a lot of family barbecues... I think that time in Poland I used best as I possibly could after 3 years of absence there...

Regards!

Wednesday concert in the park

Malujemy sypialnie babci! Michal pomogl bardzo duzo, dzielnie i dokladnie malowal sciany!

We are painting grandmom's bedroom! Michal helped so much, he was painting walls bravely and accurately!



To jest wersja poczatkowa... Caly pokoj pomalowalismy na bialo, ale potem moja ciocia Edyta stwierdzila, ze powinnismy przemalowac sciane na ktorej stoi lozko na inny kolor, zeby szczyt lozka sie odbijal, bo na bialej scianie, biale lozko po prostu sie "zlewa" i tak tez zrobilismy... a wlasciwie ja zrobilam...:)

The initial version of the bedroom... We painted whole room white color, but later on my aunt Edyta thought that we should paint the wall where the bed is located different color, because the frame of the bed  and the white wall merge together and it does not look great... so I painted this wall  different color...:)


Tutaj sciana nie jest jeszcze calkowicie wyschnieta, ale lozko juz sie od niej odbija:)

Here the wall is not fully dry yet, but the bed is already reflecting off the wall:)


Pomnik, ktory wybralismy dla dziadka. Gora tego pomnika zostala troszeczke zmodyfikowana. Zakupu dokonalismy w firmie MALIBO na Wolce w Warszawie, gdzie 14 lat temu kupowalismy pomnik dla mojego taty.

It is a grave that we chose for my grandfather. The top of this grave was modified a little bit. We bought it in MALIBO comapny in Wolka, Warsaw where 14 years ago we bought a grave for my father.


A tu juz pomnik dziadka na cmentarzu.

Here is already grandpa grave on cemetery.

Wycieczka do Sopotu/Trip to Sopot



Czesc!


Jestem juz w USA i zabieram sie do sprzatania i meblowania nowego domu, bo za chwile mama i brat przylatuja do nas! Z pewnych wzgledow osobistych (zalatwianie waznych spraw) musialam zostac dluzej w Polsce, moj maz musial leciec juz po 10 dniach pobytu w Polsce do Stanow ze wzgledu na jego obowiazki zawodowe... Z bolem serca odlatywal, ale tak to czasem bywa...:) Ja mam wakacje wiec skorzystalam z tego i postanowilam zostac dluzej w Polsce, zeby pozalatwiac pewne wazne sprawy oraz nacieszyc sie rodzina:) W tygodniu rozne obowiazki, a w weekend relaks...:) Dzisiaj pokaze Wam zdjecia z weekendowej wycieczki do Sopotu, na ktora na poczatku czerwca wybralam sie z mama, bratem i babcia. Moja babcia jeszcze nigdy nie leciala samolotem... Strasznie namawiam ja, zeby odwiedzila nas w Stanach, a babcia ciagle szuka jakis wymowke, a to, ze juz za stara jest, a to, ze cisnienie ma itp., itd... a nam sie wydaje, ze babcia po prostu boi sie leciec w tak dluga podroz samolotem, poniewaz w ogole nie ma takiego doswiadczenia... Kiedys ludzie tak po prostu nie latali jak teraz:) Z moimi dziadkami to bylo zawsze tak, ze oni nic nie chcieli, nic im nie potrzeba, dlatego ja doszlam do wniosku, ze nie ma co ich nawet pytac, tylko trzeba stawiac ich przed faktem dokonanym i tyle, bo potem i tak zawsze sa zachwyceni:) Tak samo bylo w zeszlym roku kiedy z mama wyslalysmy dziadkow do SPA, na poczatku nie chcieli, a potem powiedzialam im, ze juz nie ma odwrotu, trzeba jechac wszystko wykupione, zaplacone i co? Pojechali i wrocili przeszczesliwi z bagazem nowych doswiadczen:) Tym razem z wycieczka do Sopotu zrobilam to samo... Doszlam do wniosku, ze trzeba zabrac babcie na krotki lot, zeby doswiadczyla lotu samolotem i moze troche sie przekonala, ze nie jest to takie straszne... Jak pomyslalam, tak zrobilam. Kupilam bilety dla calej naszej czworki (ja, babcia, mama i brat). Zadzwonilam do babci i powiedzialam, ze lecimy do Gdanska, bilety juz kupione. Szczerze mowiac babcia nawet az tak bardzo nie protestowala:) Wylot do Gdanska byl z lotniska Chopina w Warszawie o 8:10 rano... Na lotnisku z bagazami podrecznymi zjawilysmy sie oczywiscie wczesniej, a po wystartowaniu w zasadzie za chwile juz bylo ladowanie...:) Taki to krotki lot:) Babcia narzekala, ze zatkalo jej uszy i troche kolowalo jej sie w glowie, ale lot z Gdanska do Warszawy byl juz lepszy:) Po wyladowaniu w Gdansku, taksowka pojechalysmy do Sopotu, gdzie zakwaterowalysmy sie w wynajetym mieszkaniu, a potem udalysmy sie na pyszny obiad do restauracji z widokiem na morze, gdzie popijalysmy biale winko i wdychalysmy swieze morskie powietrze:) Po poludniu udalysmy sie do sopockiego parku wodnego, gdzie wszyscy naprawde fajnie sie bawilismy! Kolejnego dnia pobytu w Sopocie spacerowalismy po molo, kupowalismy pamiatki, opalalismy sie na plazy, zajadalismy sie goframi z bita smietana i pysznymi dodatkami, a wieczorem wybralismy sie na egzotyczna kolacje do restauracji indyjskiej:) Byl to krotki wypad, ale bardzo udany! Wszyscy zadowoleni!

Pozdrawiam!

I w koncu... rok temu w lipcu na blogu:



                                                                                                                                                                  

Hello everyone!

I am already in the US and I am starting to clean and decorate our new house, because very soon mym mom and my brother will be here! I had to extent my trip to Poland because of some important matters that I had to take care of there. My husband had to come to the US 10 days after staying in Poland. He just had to come back to his work... He was heartbroken when he had to fly back, but it happens sometimes...:) I have vacation so I decided to stay in Poland and take care of some important issues and also enjoy time with my family:) We all had different responsibilities during the week, but on the weekend we had time to relax...:) Today I will show you pictures from weekend trip to Sopot at the beginning of June where I went with my mom, grandmom, and my brother. My grandmom has never been on the plane... We try all the time to convience grandmom to come and visit us in the US, but she is always lookinf for some excuses. She says that she is too old or that she had a blood pressure and other stories... We simply think that she is scared of flying, because she has never done this before... People years ago were not flying that often like people today:) My grandparents were alwways the way that they did not want anything. They were always saying that they do not need anything... so I thought that it does not even make sense to ask them if they want something. I decided to put them in front of accomplished fact because at the end they are going to be happy as always:) Last year my mom and I sent grandparents to SPA and at the beginning they did not want to go there, but I told them that there is no retreat, everything is paid and they have to go. Guess what? They went to SPA and they came back very happy with new fantastic experience:) This time with this trip to Sopot I did exactly the same thing... I thought that we need to take grandmom for a short flight so she can can experience flying on the plane and maybe she will see that it is not that bad... I thought and I did it. I bought tickets for four of us (mom, grandmom, brother and I). I called grandmom and I said that we are flying to Gdansk and I already bought tickets. This time grandmom was not even protesting so much:) Departure to Gdansk was from Chopin airport at 8:10 am... Of course we showed up at the airport earlier with our carry on luggages and it seemed like right after take off we were landing...:) It was a very short flight:) Grandmom was complaining that her ears got plugged and she had stars in her head, but the flight from Gdansk to Warsaw was better:) After landing in Gdansk we took taxi and we went to Sopot. We checked into our apartment and then we went for a delicious dinner with sea view where we were also drinking white wine and breathing fresh sea air:) We also went in the afternoon to Sopot water park where we all had so much fun! Next day in Sopot we were walking on the pier, buying souvenirs, sun bathing, eating delicious waffles with whipped cream and other stuff, and in the evening we went for exotic supper to Indian restaurant:) It was a short trip, but very successful! Everybody was happy! 

Regards!

Michal loves to fly. He says that flying relaxes him, totally opposite to our mom:)


A tutaj w naszym mieszkaniu, ktore wynajelismy. "Apartament Pogodny" znajduje sie w Sopocie, okolo 300 metrow od plazy. Jak na weekend to swietne miejsce, w dobrej cenie, zeby sie zatrzymac.

Here is our apartment which we rented. "Sunny Apartment" is located in Sopot around 300 metres from the beach. It is a great place to stay for the weekend and the price is also good.
