Today is Dzień Babci in Poland -- Grandmother’s Day. Babcia is the Polish word for Grandma. In the US there are variants such as “busia.” Here is my Grandma Apolonia (Skrobot) Raczkiewicz in the late 1970’s.

    I remember the babushkas they used to wear. These pictures make me miss grandma! I rented an apartment upstairs in her house and Linda rented the other one. Other relatives also rented from them at the old house on Milwaukee. Do you know the others who got their start by renting from them (cheap rent)!
