The Ice was Blue, the Eye Black




So out the door for her 6:00 am run-walk and on the return, about a third of a mile from our Flat, down she goes on her annual head-plant that she has come to expect each year. And she always seems to land on the same side so after bleeding all over the place she finds her way home to phone me at the office because it appears that stiches are needed. Gratefully, a doctor we had located recently was only a 5 minute drive away and would be in the office at 8:00 am. Four stiches later we are on our way home. An interesting side note was that as she is trying to pick herself up off the cement-ice, a woman who was right behind her and of course saw the entire event unfold, walked right past her without even any kind of acknowledgement of what took place. Go figure!
The rest of the photos were taken yesterday at our YSA 'Asian Day' activity at our Branch building. A group of about 16 from Warssaw and other cities around the country came in for a day of fellowship, Orgami, Tai Chi, games and of course some good Asian food. A university student from a city to the north, (Poznan) who was working on his Master's program in film came to learn about the young people in the Church and filmed for most of the day. Out the window you will see something on the school building next to the Church that looks like what many of us are unfortunately getting used to these days.......graffiti! Anyway, it was a fun day had by all which ended up at the Saturday night session of District Conference where a visiting Authority from Italy presided. A really nice weekend and its about the only time we get to see someone else, (besides Pres & Sis Nielson) from Las Vegas, Paul and Nola Harber who we have greatly enjoyed getting to know.

  1. Dang it, Sorry Aunt Jean for your face!! I am glad it wasn't more serious.
    I watched The Pianist yesterday and thought of you both (movie takes place in Warsaw, Poland during WWII)...
    Love you!
