The Krakow Files: January 2009
http://krakowfiles.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 25, 2009. One final note about my Christmas tree . . . Finally, somewhat desperately, we just dumped it in a pile of snow against one wall and took off. I then spent the next 40 minutes sweeping up all the fallen needles, so the trail couldn't be tracked to my door. I did consider creating a trail to another neighbour's door, but figured since everyone else keeps their tree up until the end of January, it was going to be pretty easy to realize the Canadian was the culprit. Although the Po...

The Krakow Files: Buty
http://krakowfiles.blogspot.com/2009/07/buty.html
Monday, July 6, 2009. I finally downloaded all of the photos I took the last few months I was in Europe and have spent the last few hours looking through them. This snapshot is for K and P who each bought something like 6 pairs of shoes while visiting me in Poland in early April. Oddly, I don't think I purchased even one pair in the entire two years I lived there. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). You can go home again. View my complete profile. Hi, I'm Jenn.

The Krakow Files: Young Poland
http://krakowfiles.blogspot.com/2009/05/young-poland.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. Last Saturday, on my flight back to Toronto, I spent a few hours reading about my favourite period in Polish art: the Young Poland. Movement. The book was a farewell gift from a friend and provides art and architectural examples of the movement in and around Krakow. Several of my favourite churches, galleries, and buildings were listed in the guide, and I was thoroughly enjoying reading about Krakow, when I turned the page and saw a picture of this guy:. Your neighbor, Sue.

The Krakow Files: February 2009
http://krakowfiles.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2009. My grandma has three children (all daughters), ten grandchildren, and fourteen (I think) great-grandchildren. In honour of her 90th birthday, many of us met in Toronto yesterday to celebrate. Not all of us were at the party, but it was the largest gathering of the clan that I can remember. My entire immediate family (parents, two brothers, two sis-in-laws and 4 nieces) flew in from Western Canada for the festivities. Sunday, February 22, 2009. Winter travel: Part 2. Then I was ...

The Krakow Files: July 2009
http://krakowfiles.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 26, 2009. Is the architecture in Krakow. I even sort of miss the cobblestones (although my ankles don't):. This art supply shop is located only a few steps away from my former flat in Krakow. I walked by it almost every day, always peering in the windows to see what was new, yet never actually going inside. Wednesday, July 8, 2009. I took this pic my last night in Krakow, at the flower market in the Rynek, and completely forgot about it until I downloaded my photos a few days ago. The first ...

The Krakow Files: October 2008
http://krakowfiles.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 20, 2008. Along came a spider. Hydrangeas have long been one of my favourite flowers. My grandparents had huge bushes in their front yard that bloomed unbelievably every year for over 50 years. I don't know whether it's the pinky, blue, purpley colour, or the memory of my grandparents that attracts me to the flowers, but I can't pass by them without stopping for a second look. The spider is barely visible, but if you look carefully you can just see the legs. Sunday, October 12, 2008.

Sunday, July 26, 2009. This art supply shop is located only a few steps away from my former flat in Krakow. I walked by it almost every day, always peering in the windows to see what was new, yet never actually going inside. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). You can go home again. I'm a Canadian living in Krakow, Poland. These are my thoughts about living in Krakow, being an expat, and generally just about being me. View my complete profile. Hi, I'm Jenn. Stuff in the Attic.

The Krakow Files: Derek and Flannery
http://krakowfiles.blogspot.com/2009/05/derek-and-flannery.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. Here's the first anecdote of many about Derek:. Soon after I moved to Toronto from Waterloo, Derek was accepted into the publishing program at Centennial College. We ended up being roommates, living in a 2nd floor apartment in an old house on Keele St in High Park. So Flannery she was, and still is. I can't imagine her as being anything else. Yet even though Derek gave me a Flannery O'Connor novel (aptly titled "A Good Man is Hard to Find") for Christmas that year, it was years befo...

The Krakow Files: You can go home again
http://krakowfiles.blogspot.com/2009/07/you-can-go-home-again.html
Sunday, July 5, 2009. You can go home again. I'm lying on the couch in my newly renovated living room. I've just cleaned it in anticipation of showing it off to my grandmother tomorrow afternoon. I guess I've been back in Canada now for 6 or 7 weeks and I finally feel like I belong here. Plus, it is summer and despite a strike by the city employees (creating mounds of garbage everywhere and shutting down public services like pools and ferries), Toronto is a pretty good place to be. The trees are gree...
