I called my mom at 1 p.m.  I got ready and my mom arrived at 4 p.m.  We left and went to Floral Park.  We looked for Grandpa and Grandma's graves.  My mom put purple flowers on Grandma's grave and a cross with blue flowers on it on Granspa's grave.  Today was Grandpa's birthday and that's why we went.  I remember now that there is a bush in between their gravesites and that they are six rows apart. When I got home I got ready for Enrichment.  I brought some Potica (a typical Slovenian festive dish/cake) because we were having an international foods night.  Then they asked everyone where their food came from and the history behind it.  I told them as much as I could remember.  I said it was a Slovenian dessert and it was originally made in loaves instead of cake form.  Slovenians passed it down from generation to generation.  And that my grandma used to make it and her daughters (my aunts) now make it.  We ate after the lesson.  When I got home my dad ate the rest of the Potica.

Right now we are on the way to go see Uncle Martin.  He is in the nursing home on 10th street.  I went to my mom's grave about an hour ago. Yesterday, I went over to Bruce's about 2 p.m. he gave me a guitar lesson.  Then I helped him clean the house.  Vicki, Tyler and Vicki's mom came over.  Also a mandolin player too.  Bruce made chili for everyone.  We played music until around 10:30 p.m. On Friday, I went over to Bruce's and Ed, Karen, Vicki, Tyler, Vicki's mom, and two other pickers were there.  Kimmy, James and the baby arrived after I did.  Then Bruce arrived last.  He was in Minnesota and his brother picked him up from the airport.  I helped him carry his stuff in.
