Jerzykowi,
Kris
As thunder from a clear heaven ...
To this November has ended, marudziła Shevtsova. Because our family is often a funeral in November, up goes, oh, for the often. I had a dream. And in early December anniversary of the death of the Father. To wait until Christmas. Advent is for us so demanding!
wykrakała Well, because now I have real trouble Shoemaker, not some smuteczki the November, as last year.
as a bolt from the clear sky. Lager. Like him. His brother in law. And who would have expected! But it was not he was the first in the queue. The youngest was behind the wall. The last of the guys from this generation on the other side of the cottage.
Nagle. The old was he? Jokes! Younger than Szewc for two whole months. The shoemakers shelves take a long time, but him? Such starowny. Such accurate.
whole life honestly worked. But be respected. Has always had all the tests, took all medications as the doctor ordered.
walked the walk. Catching fish. He liked. Calm and serene. So .... Bright .
Recently he was on some research. Nothing serious. At this age, each with something to cure. As The kidney is not the heart, as there is diabetes to atherosclerosis. Some years to heal and live.
He read the newspaper while standing in the kitchen, wearing glasses. He did not even groan. His wife heard only in the room rumble, as if some shelf fell ...
opposition! Absurd! The empty seat at the table. Empty view of the river bank.
not meant to be!
Well, now what? And why is it so difficult? After all, it's just-in-law. One of the many brothers-Szewc. Kwiczołowianin.
Weddings with Clearly ...
could say that I did not stand anything. But it's not quite true.
- was not the grunts, no!
Shoemaker thinks and feels a strange longing, as if late for a train to warm countries.
And did not want to go there.
And the brother in law, got the same shirt and ... gone.
brother. Cheerful, soul society, he liked to joke, laugh.
Przebalowali together after a good ten family weddings for those thirty years.
do not know when, even came up with the wedding custom.
the morning, when everyone was already well czubie and młodziaki not as strong as the shoemaker in-law, with the "prewar" material, still in shape and energetic, a lack of people willing to dance, because his wife oganiały from them impatient ... bowed to the dwornie ...
- you ask?
... and began tany time.
At the first wedding, some twenty years ago, accepted the applause and enthusiasm.
As the guests are tired, but not quite, and not very sober, but without any exaggeration, any tomfoolery take lightly. "
the year, followed by weddings, is recorded the habit slowly. To the extent that the family said:
- Oh, a wedding in the woods, because Kazik Swifts have not danced ...
But, as the dance was held and wesołkowie became really too pushy with their szampańskimi, actually wódczanymi mood, we had to go back.
Szewc affinity with the wedding coming back even a little foul, because the daughter in the trunk. Shoemaker got away, because I was more suited there, but he became angry due ...
- Father of the family to boot!?
daughter ... and gave up.
Everything was almost fine, son of lead, the whole wedding in standby or droplets, as a Christmas carp in aspic.
brother and returned without incident, a taxi, a serious and sober, and in any case after giving nothing more.
- Salad Because you sober, it's not in the mood for jokes.
- A car ride is no joke.
car? He had. From 8-eight years, and look how he went from the living room yesterday. To measure a man entered with such timidity as to the peace table.
Pedancik he was little. A shoemaker had bad luck ... Like the anger.
- Once crimson fura brother-in bypass Kwiczołowie family in the barn stood.
polished, smelling clean. Left out the side in a safe place.
For all parking under the fence in the middle of the yard.
A cobbler in a hurry to church on Sunday. I hit the bumper when reversing in the front fender gem!
dead.
Gramoli back with his head bowed, for a hearing. Brother-tame, he hoped the affair. The driver of the bomber, the suit torn, fender shining with varnish, like Christmas tree ornaments, wgiął! And on Sunday in the morning, before the church yet!
- But with me fool! - He thought.
- Where I was gone?!
brother-in search does not have to, because despite the early hour, it was a miracle in the backyard.
nadwyrężonego Owner car, a bit pale. But it can only seemed shoemaker? Because even though he stared intently at the face of the volcano on the second before the explosion, the volcano said to him, with a pleasant smile, which precluded any disputes and acids:
- It's only a small dint ....
is small, it may be, but nasty.
Nevertheless brother, who after the first, the key phrase as if he let go, toasting next quite naturally. That'll do on Monday in PZU to Shoemaker not to worry and I went, because they were late to church.
Shoemaker thought into the ground will be made. I never him This comforting smile never forgotten.
man can truly know only when he wegnie fender, has discovered new life Shoemaker Reg.
last time at the wedding of his daughter danced Szewc himself, three years ago, prompting some, small indeed, curiosity American guests.
- Aaaah, the Polish custom ....
The film recorded mandatory wedding, a daughter in the U.S. recently inadvertently showed his American szwagrostwu.
pochlipuje And now, because Bright very fond uncle.
Bright and three other young Indians, a tradition ... kwiczołowska
Some wedding couples already porozwodziły, others live honestly, and weddings occasionally take place. But they no longer dance.
What an idea!
Wedding prank, which no longer continue.
Shoemaker may yet recover. Never suspected that he, after all, only a relative by marriage, so rooted in the kwiczołowską family that he is so close Szwagry.
They can closer to him than he to them. Because he has been almost alone, and they had four more.
And now three.
For all their - urwipołciów and troublemakers, known throughout the Kwiczołowie and even in Jaworach and Zamroziu, five were, but he made only four. One, it was Jack, a young widow odumarł and a couple of kids.
Rozrabiaki? It is an understatement. Soon more will be. What these mothers nadenerwowały what nałamały broom on the back of these rags!
girls kwiczołowskim How childish and later and more mature cause mischief, they would most able.
A boys yards lead, educators hope for peace in the school receive?
girls are even wearing szkodowały not, because you guys were, as painted and bitne a knight.
Of these four - one serving in komandosach to finally settle the patrimony - Host, another important figure after studying law - Szycha, the third heavy guy, who looked well out of sight, but fared badly - quite simply - Andrew and the fourth?
Bright brother met a girl from a small town and ... I settled down.
And what was with the statkować.
Before all this happened and its great, like a mountain brother Andrew died young, they had all become the best fisherman in the village.
Tomasiakowi Because apples from the orchard match? It need not be so clever.
Herbowskiemu fish with eel-buck sneak you'd have struggled, and Kepele move.
And the guys, even when psotach tradition prevailed. Because fishing tradition was long and lively Kwiczołowie .
Pradziad guys Jedrzej, a fisherman from Siedlce, bought from kwiczołowskiego heir, even in the nineteenth century, his farm on the Narew, including the right fishing nets on a large stretch of the river, along the countryside.
ancestors chose well established. Kwiczołowa around were not only rich in fish in the clear as crystal river. True, true, whimsical, full of eddies and przykos, which claimed many a wretch. Even recently sołtysowego elder son and in one person. But it charakterna capricious and dangerous, handsome and mysterious creature is always the object of desire boys.
But hey, on the river in the world here does not end.
extensive, riverside meadows, backwaters, groves and forests were dense wildlife refuge deer, hares, wild boars and pheasants.
gentlemen, guests of the local squire, hunting here operate. Grandfather Martin also took part in them. In what capacity, the longer tradition of family Ziemniackich silent.
nagonek Why was the organizer?
In any event boasted a silver cigarette case, which apparently, on one of the hunt, from the Prince Radziwill received. Engraved with the dedication included. Cigarette Shoemaker has not seen, but heard the story several times, during family gatherings.
As the story Kozik, with handles of mother of pearl weight rozświetlającego magical flashes of a shadowy chamber, which so enchanted by two of several years urchins that after the death Marcinowego brother, grandfather, Philip, mysteriously moved from the pocket of the deceased to five toddler hands, Lager . But it apparently was owned, the second toddler, milk brother, Szychy. So the second, younger lover flashing kozików months, he said. And all it seemed.
Ziemniackich A family was known not only from such connections hunting time.
Martin's brother, his uncle Vincent was a priest before the war, Lodz Seminary professor, the Prelature dosłużył and reconciliation after the war, made the Department of Lodz. Soon after he died, but the fame of His Excellency the Kwiczołowie, and especially in the parish Milowski echo still reflected in religion classes. Shevtsova remembers how proud she was, because the priest inquired.
This is the first national kwiczołowski think?
No. It is now a river and you can meditate. Saved in the act of buying the right mająteczku long catch was for a family Ziemniackich a good source of income.
In the interwar grandfather Martin remained in the river two decent eel-buck, wsiowego partition the river from the shore, just above the great Gromadzki pasture, Grabowiec, a small island, Kepa.
Then gradually, growing up, fathers łobuziaków later, Stanislaw - Jedrek and Lager swift and Zygmunt - Szychy and Host, under the stern eye of his grandfather, as there listening for eels.
Two quick but tipping the canoe, carved in the trunk olszowym, only for the experienced paddler and then only in a kneeling position, dowoziły of the eel-buck in a jiffy, and returned with a cargo of steel and precious fish.
Commune did not recognize such rights.
After the war, the fathers took care of earning a living in a different way, one - the father of the Clear rural property administrator was, but far up in a pot, or something out there, the second in a nearby town, it's hard and with an arduous journey. From his farm, or from the hard work could not be maintained. Well, two magpies pulled by the tail.
staśkowe administration is somehow quickly ended, and brothers, on their patrimony, have been neighbors and partners through the wall a small farm.
Meanwhile catch the right has become the law of stray, owned by some of the fishing cooperative, and then, jakimsi way - the old HERBOWSKI.
In the postwar confusion to anyone with Ziemniackich or in the head was right to deal with and catch the old one was not supposed HERBOWSKI no pretensions.
But guys, urwipołcie and gambler, with the ancient property right, after all they knew.
Herbowska I, left alone by older, had no life with these smarkaczami.
Eel, it was always higher driving school. Today it is difficult to find a description of how the eels are caught and the old manual containing the rules for the construction of eel-buck and other tips for fishing costs a few hundred.
guys have their ways. Because it was necessary to require some clever guys.
The long, thick rope was attached sztrągiewki different lengths with the bait on the hooks. Eel. I swam with these strings softly in the night by swimming to the eel-buck.
From this page, cottages - The host, but even under the nose with milk, about ten years. Szycha even as the Green Cone. And then, Andrew and the Great Light .
Mocowały them so that the bank could not be seen. At the entrance to the eel-buck.
early morning, before the old Herbowska student came to check, they took up their strings with the prey. Early one had to get up.
And the gains were not enough you can and complement the fish, which is already stuck in Żak.
Bo Herbowska wywęszył after some time what was going on.
Zakapior was!
built a hut on an island near the eel-buck, and there spent the night, Zak guarding against thieves uprzykrzonymi. Slept alertly.
Well, one day ... such a strange coincidence ... hut burned down.
Herbowska fell asleep in the dirt to shore up the boat left.
- Lights out paaaaali!
All the cottages on the hill woke up, was a sensation, but not so great. In the end no one, nothing happened. A shelter? Too bad spit ...
do not know what had happened. Until today.
I just took this constant, stubborn guerrilla war with a fisherman and sworn unrecognized inherited fishing rights. Whose fathers are not even supported, but somehow never reached for the belt is not properly. Somehow I had no Heart.
Such twisted, long-standing affair. And family history, tradition ubarwiająca angler fishing in the less noble fish.
Vibrant, capricious, rybołowna ...
Because it determined the river Kwiczołowie lifestyle. Every self-respecting farmer from the river to its pychówkę preparing.
attributed to it a to the carriage, the bus, in the village, the river ran.
I Miłowie parish church, which summon the bell from the opposite shore, from a distance downstream.
And to the vet, which is settled in front of cottages boys, the clump - an island in Narew, nurseries nightingales and thrushes.
and fishing.
Sometimes a pair of gold is earned, przygodnemu wanderer, or a visitor to the village in effort, providing transportation.
This prolonged cry.
- Przewooooozu!
Shoemaker heard, not once, not twice. Sam asked him how the night came on shore, when Swoi already asleep. Tapping the owner woke River. And this, without much complaining, delayed the bed and drove into the night, the rushing river, for five gold. But most of all for the tradition of support wanderer. Kwiczołowska tradition.
Anyone here had his fishing rod fashioned from leszczynowego rod. I knew how zanęcania with kasha. Places to look good rosówek Karasek.
Łapało a roach, bream, chub and ropes. I sumki. And sometimes, pike, szczubełkami called here.
Koźlarzowa Even the wife of a local, not ours, a shoemaker, his fishing rods in the alder wore, like a dragon papierosiska kurzyła, bent her over the water hook-like witch, nose and fished!
And the best was from a boat, in locations known only to himself, jealously guarded against outsiders.
Until recently, Shoemaker heard this conversation between Szwagrami here, brothers, wives, including the largest and host.
- I realize I'm sitting in the pole bend,
; near hazel Kepa, you know?
; near hazel Kepa, you know?
- I know, recently, after a nice Sumka caught there.
- Well, you see .... my rod just starts to walk,
a motorboat comes here,
a motorboat comes here,
has caused a wave and a noise like a condemned, I hesitate,
not the moves.
not the moves.
Waiting calmly. This ... quietly, everything in me to cook, but
anymore.
anymore.
crossed, I have watched, as I go.
And I to them innocently rozdziawiam mouth.
And I to them innocently rozdziawiam mouth.
My hand did not tremble. Just as the island disappeared,
me a fishing rod and the moves ....
me a fishing rod and the moves ....
That pike stretch. Dimension!
Szewcu But when they could talk freely. Rods do not ima. Or, even if angled, it would not skąpili? These things have their ...

What it was for Kwiczołowian Fishing?
a Deluxe entertainment, which was a gift from the heavens at your fingertips?
the Local, noble sport fashionable in the village of "horse", that is the American way, a hobby?
If it did, none of the anglers and fishermen just do not see it.
way of life is better when the less pleasant duties to fulfill?
Warmer.
One way to get healthy and tasty food?
If so, you have to say: oh, how delicious!
How many times Szewcostwo, returned home with a bag full krąpików, pike and roach. A and sumek sometimes hit.
- Szczubełki, it's for kids, freshest, clean water - in-law used to say Szewc -
- Hurdles for you.
And Shoemaker, sometime after the weekend visit with his wife, who letniskowała the whole summer with the kids in-law, encouraged by the recollection of the sky in his mouth, he saw the fish shop "Fresh hurdles."
wanted to remember the taste of fresh trout straight from a mountain river, caught his hand and fried in butter. The same intense, delicate flavor.
bought.
Then appreciate the difference.
How to eat today smoked ham in a smokehouse for the barn, on top of a meadow with a river view.
And then I believe in advertising hams home, from a supermarket. But then who dreamed of a weekend attractions, supermarkets, which now attracts from around the province?
These fish, it was the local currency. Because sometimes money, something like that ... does not fit. Well, how much to give? It was possible to repay the loan saw, for the ride to town for the Christmas jar mushroom salad.
Bright and his peasant ...
Meanwhile, the local shoemaker lacked basic skills.
Neither pychówką could not swim, or mow the rye. Or even rye harvest. To collect the potatoes do not need any special qualifications had to have. Just a little self-denial.
I Szwagrom muuuusiał show that he his. Because he looked sometimes with envy, as Bright Swift deftly, gently, pychówką powoził. A boat submerged almost to the side, four people dressed festively, safely to the other side, noiselessly carried on the bus.
That, and he began swimming at pychówce practice. Stupid was that during the transport of the oars became kobita, and he, like what nincompoop, sitting politely on a bench. And it severely reprimanded him not to be filmed, because the boat tip over.
He took from his father- paddle the key to the padlock, which was contained pychówka, gently pushed the boat on the water near the shore, where he still rushes and practiced. First patiently at the edge. In order not to change even though the position and not be ratowanym the wife, as it was too far downstream. And that does not fly out of the boat, and paddle to the bottom of a zaklinowało overboard.
Until learned. Yes, and mowing of rye.
What was it pride, where on Friday evening, first wife after his sail boat, sitting comfortably on a bench, a shoemaker, as the Lord God commanded pychówkę ran. First dominates the shore to swim to the nightingale Kepa, before rushing stream pushes it too far. And then, around it around, once again at the top to finish off the shore at the height of the cottage.
Then podjadłszy, dressed in a working where a pleasant coolness has already done, but the sun still high, he led a small procession proudly reapers On the head with a scythe, and behind it at a safe distance, because the knife sharp, his wife and father in law. To collect. To collect! After him! Because he was already mower. Full. Although only kosiło edges to remove the mower was like, but always.
A Bright brother, also came from the city, lovingly and proudly embracing her little lady standing behind the fence in the setting sun, overlooking the illuminated bladoróżowo acre of rye, he watched the procession marching and calling for cobbler friendship
- And do not hurt you now, kosiarzu to!
But the merry twinkle in his eye did not lie, and his voice was also heard this friendly, acting as a balm for the heart reaper - aspirant, note:
- his fellow with you!
Bright Nights and the prey of the Velvet
Shoemaker for fishing are not taken, but Szwagrom supporter. Sometimes one allowed him to pull the spinning, but Shoemaker had either luck or the patience, or both. And no fish ever caught.
With the exception of one memorable immediately.
Kwiczołowie happened to the once a year, Night of mayflies. How Midsummer Night.
It was a night when it flowed Fish. Schools of fish.
Night Dance mayflies day-olds. And then the fish get monkey mind.
not baited with dry balls mayflies, which is kneaded in the same night, the same mayflies.
Which lured, like a moth, light fires, flies over a fire and sinks, with nadpalonymi wings.
and around the foci formed layers of the strange, and invaluable to the fishermen, the dead insects.
these layers kneaded balls that serve anglers to fish zanęcania, which is bringing the fish in a place where we intend it caught on a rod, by throwing water baits.
On this night, the whole river blazes with a crazy dance and silent soothing drip mayflies, cavorts on the very surface of the water. And it seems then that the whole river is filled with baited fish.
That night a quarter century, shoemaker stuck in memory for a lifetime.
brother Bright took it with him, as a companion to the network, called a dart. This is a special network we are accused in two and fishes out, how is less fortunate, a few fish at a time, and how is larger, and half a bucket.
need to know where to choose a place to criticize the network, where to enter the water even after the belt.
Where it ends and begins przykosa shallowness. Because you can drop by with head and zachłysnąć dangerously.
And the night is warm as the black velvet, glossy, full moon. Why, it is July, so I just need to have sneakers that leg does not hurt to shell szczeżui.
I execute a command in-law, whose shag shines bright in the moonlight.
After an hour of the bucket is full, and two brothers-one local, but from the city, the second city, but his fellow, podochoceni successful fishing, according to bring his prey to the waiting wives at the fire and collected, cheerful crowd.
Then Bright generously waive its share of the gains shoemaker. He's still yet nałowi.
Get, man!. Okay, do not thank!
So it created a tie in this family.
A more common, putting a new roof on the cottage? Which Light okupił fang during assembly in the forehead with heavy beams, until he bright stars in the day showed ?
All szwagry then take up the. I Zygmunts stasiowe and peasants and all the men and zygmuntowych stasiowych daughters. As one man. Family business, as American films. On the hill, the whole clan marcinowy worked on the roof. Each according to ability and according to the strength.
For some time, and Zygmunt Stanislaw, living in ponadstuletniej cottage, they were without a roof over their heads. But soon a new roof appeared. Although no longer deprived of naczółkowego trim them a little bit and Shoemaker pomarudził, but difficult. Gable now came to be.
Because if need be, become. For fun, persevered until the morning, peasants from the hills and the men of their sisters.
clear recollection ...
Bright angler recently bought a new boat. So rejoice!
Protected "for the winter. Nephew helped, amount to a hill, set properly the bzami, upside down on supports. In the spring, just get on and ... on the fish.
With Host behind the wall, cut alder milk cans. Bright chopped milk churn in the logs, ready for the kitchen. Set a decent heap. The host put beer. Family support and family, symbolic revenge. No obligation.
survive until spring boat safe. A heap? Now no one dares to move. Maybe something will be decided in the spring. In the spring wood will also be needed.
just returned with his wife from visiting her daughter, in Prague. Nacieszył the grandchildren, the daughter wrought by the photos, shot videos.
Recently only strange in the past did. I still did something, "the last time." He was afraid to be alone with the grandchildren. Because as what would happen to me? His wife is nervous about this stupid talk. But he did not pay attention. As if he knew her.
the eye, all right. Went for long walks. The house is bustling. As usual.
R-ki Staff resuscitated him an hour, but God had other plans for him.
popłakując daughter wondered, "How am I ever so ago my father was doing pictures."
It was something like the "rapture." You may be surprised. Where am I, why clearly ?
He was only 65 years. Well, yes. But the mayfly live one day.
