Message of the Day by Marge Thomas: "Happiness, like a mirror, reflects."

My day started with an early morning walk toward the east. Dawn was just breaking and the weather was clear and cool. I saw a group of five deer who were feeding on the rye grass about a half mile away. They ran as a car came by the road nearby. Back to Reymontowka dining at 07.00. where a nice breakfast of cheese pancakes and a side of their usual tomatoes and cucumbers was served. At 09:00 I tutored a member of the kitchen staff. Our lesson was the names of various foods and the procedure of wait persons in restaurants. This was an appropriate subject since Iwona is studying hotel management at an university in Warsaw. The rest of the morning was devoted to preparing next day’s lessons.

After lunch I was driven to Kofoed in Siedlce to teach a student whose name was Fani. This lady has a very good knowledge of English grammar. It was a rewarding lesson.

Back to Reymontowka for a long walk to a village named Trzemuszka. I took photos of some picturesque houses and the village wooden church built in the 1776. From there I walked back to Reymontowka for supper.
