Life is good. I have been given so many things to be grateful for. This week I kept very busy after work learning to quilt, getting to know new sisters in my ward, visiting my friend Lexa, baking Peanut Butter Blossom cookies for a FRG fund raiser, and going polish pottery shopping. Hopefully, I will finish the quilt tomorrow in class so I can get back to sewing curtains for my home that are 9 months in the making.
Saturday morning, I woke up before the crack of dawn to meet some friends in Wieden to go polish pottery shopping in Boleslawiec, Poland.

For a first timer, polish pottery shopping is a bit overwhelming. You walk into a shop and find shelves and shelves of pottery stoneware such as plates, mugs, baking dishes, condiment cups, teapots, etc. Each shop is filled with different patterns of stoneware. I had a hard time deciding whether I wanted all of my stoneware to match or if I wanted to buy a mixture of them all. I decided on the latter and hope I don't have any regrets later as I am a person that usually likes everything to coordinate.
Before coming back home, we stopped to eata Polish dish--pierogis. Pierogis are half circular dumplings of unleavened dough, stuffed with mashed potatoes, cheese, and onions. Surprisingly enough, it was pretty good. However, I wouldn't want to eat it every day.
Thanks ladies for creating some great memories--Paige Dalke, Jody Dean, Sabrina Ewert, LsDawn Peterson. Hopefully, this is the first of many great times together.
