Some of the kids came from the neighborhood, but most of them were homegrown Bahdziewicz kids.

The Bahdziewicz family had a great garden, and went at the whole thing scientifically and in great fun, because this is one family that runs short on cash but long on kids.

Dud pulled over and watched for a minute as Abe laughingly directed the family Read More

Day—victory in Europe in World War II, was just passed on May 8, too, but with surprisingly little fanfare considering this year marks the 80th anniversary of the surrender. Coincidentally, our Memorial Day—the day primarily for mourning and honoring our military who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives—has been celebrated since just after the Civil War, first known as “Decoration Day” because the graves were decorated with flowers. Per va.gov: “It was not until after Read More
