UPDATE 2004:

I received a letter in March 2004 that our romantic Magdalina had passed away on January 24 from a possible heart attack. She had been dreaming that her goat had a baby, she awoke and told her son that she was going to the shed to check on Lalka. She dressed and ventured outside. The family found her as she was laying in the snow on her way back from the shed.. She was buried 3 days later.. I will keep her close to my heart! Katherina Boyko, they say her toe is doing fine, but her memory is slowly going, and there are times she just stays in bed !! Uncle Roman and Aunty Sofia are doing well, getting somewhat slower, but hanging in.. Aunty has high blood pressure, and may have had a mini stroke. Uncle, well, while we were there Nadia explained that he has prostate cancer, but he did not want to do anything about it.. As he stated, I'm to old, why bother. More important
things in life!! So far, so good. Nadia, has not worked for 6 months, Wasyl went back to his old job. They hired a new manager and begged him to return.. The boy's, Oleh, is still working, has found himself a girlfriend and they're maybe wedding bells.. Oleh wants Aunty Judy to come back, because I have to make my fried chicken for everyone at the wedding. “I'm on my way”. Yuri, cannot find a job, and not sure if he should continue in the mechanics course...

OCTOBER

Hello everyone, we have just returned from our second trip to Ukraine 05. We attended the wedding of Oleh and Oksanna.. It was a whirlwind three and half weeks. Boy did we work our little ol buns off and there is soooo much to tell. From butchering pigs, creating a working kitchen out of the garage. Trying to rent fridges, stoves, dishes, tables, benches etc to feed 240 people. Making 5 types of sausage. Smoking chicken, ham and sausage in homemade smokers out in the back 40 ... in plus 43 degrees heat! Starting breakfast with a toast of Vodka .. then lunch, supper and of course ending the day at 2:30 in the morning .... We had a ball.. Finally meeting new found family on both my parents sides, there were many tears but so many memories.. Also a two day visit to Cornberg, Germany where Roman was born. I will be adding to the journal in the next couple of months. Stay tuned.
