How cool is it that Ante and Niko’s kume have the same Birthday!!!  Happy Birthday to Kuma Ana, Kuma Andrijana and Mandy who are all celebrating their birthdays this weekend!!!!!

We lost a legend in our Croatian Community this week.  Pero Pastuovic picked up our family in 1973 when we came to Oakville by train from Winnipeg.  From what I understand we were just one of the many, Pero was the Oakville welcome wagon.  Whether you needed a ride or help finding a job or filling out paperwork, he was your man.  Just ask Visnja who spent many hours filling out paperwork for the new refugees. 

My deepest sympathies to Marija, Sonja, Visnja, Peter, Mirko and Gregory.  Along with your fond memories of your father we all have our own.  God rest his soul…………

When you have great photo’s you really should share them.  The first pic is from our last seka night, we get together every 3 months to bitch, complain and best of all laugh.  The second pic is from Nika’s confirmation.  Please note and I am not quite sure how it happened that my face looks thinner in the first pic when I was 4.5 months pregnant then in the second pic when I was baby free………

I guess it is never too late to say Congrats.  Congrats to Jozo and Senka on the birth of their son Ilija Mate.  He really is cute as a button.  Mom and baby are doing well.  Senka is one of the reasons I need to blog, she has the next year off and needs something to do while her King is sleeping.
