Summer Park In the Mountain Cool

We are keeping sooo busy. Joined the local bridge group at the Senior Center and the local women's golf league which is great fun.
Many occasions to eat and visit with friends and family. Keeping up on the news both locally and international. Reading POLAND BY MICHENER. He was born in Poland and has provided a historically based novel. Not easy reading but so much information about Europe and the turmoil over the centuries to maintain borders, independence and life. Although it makes our quibbles seem rather trivial the participants are much similar to today's struggles. I would like to visit Poland which must be a beautiful country. We have been to countries which surround their borders but I never realized how much these borders have changed.

I suppose I am most impressed by the people and their love of country. Everyone wants their own space and right to a good life. this novel is rather lengthy and having completed the read I would like to keep it. Our country is so young in comparison. Perhaps we will have an opportunity to visit Poland. Maybe it will go on my bucket list. So many places to see, just limits of time and money which become more real every day. Love being home though with grandkids & babes and bros and sis. Nothing quite like family and friends you have known all your life. And Fritz and his doggy cousins seem to love the time to play.
