Cousin Mirko & his wife Margareta, from Wroclaw. They pulled into the St. Catherine's church parking lot with their big high-end F150 Ford which Mirko bought on e-Bay in New Jersey, flew over & picked it up & shipped it back to Poland, last year. They're traveling in the really nice camper he got online, on their way to a country music festival -- Poland's only -- up in Magrove, not too far from here. Mirko's band is one of 8 finalists in a competition out of about 50 entries. They play Sunday and if they win they get to play at a very big country music festival. They do some Johnny Cash, etc., also pieces from an opera written by someone Mirko knows, about a Polish immigrant in the US who became a wild-west legend, something like Mad Mrazek or some such thing.

It was really good seeing them. Mirko's his usual high-energy self; Margareta balances that with sweet common-sense. Their daughter Kasia, just 16, stayed behind for the first time w/o them, and is throwing a big party with her friends. ..Enough to drive Margareta crazy with worry...
