Grandma Oma's World

Tomorrow is my brother, Elemer's, 69th birthday. He lives in Futog, Serbia, and of course, I procrastinated long enough to send him a card. It would take at least one week for the card to get there, so instead of sending him a card, I decided to put it on my blog and make it a permanent birthday present.

While I was in Buffalo, NY, I visited my older sister and her family in Canada. Through her,  I am blessed with with an army of relatives - at least fifteen people including partners. She and her late husband, Sveta, immigrated in the 50's, and raised their family in various places in Canada to finally settled in Cornwall, Ontario. Although, my sister took care of me when I was a baby, I did not remember her. We reconnected again in 1966, when I came to USA. Since then, we have kept our sisterly contacts, visiting and calling one another whenever possible.

Since the end of August I have been in Buffalo, NY visiting my daughter and her family. Here, I have two grand daughters: Gabriella, almost 5 years old and Brianna, almost 2.  Here are some pictures of us in Buffalo.
