Too Much Fun with Grandma

We are in the states for Brian's parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Before heading to Tampa, we stopped in Minnesota to see my family. Cece went grocery shopping with Grandma Gaalswyk today. Enough said:)!

Apple Juice Making in Poland

Eight years ago I met the Eiflings (Daniel and Iwona) while serving as a summer intern in Poland. That same summer, I met Brian. Back then, we were all just serving short-term. Fast forward eight years: the Eiflings serve as full-time missionaries in Poland, and we are here in Czech. Today, we went to the farm where Iwona grew up to make apple juice "Polski style" (as Brian keeps saying)!

Brian and Daniel:


Look at all that juice (and that's not even all of it)!!


Just think, if you were ever here short-term or if you ever come short-term, you could end up living here one day making some "Polski style" apple juice of your own! At least come visit us because I'll make you the best apple cider you've ever tasted!
