After a long-long time!
After a long pause, i am planning to return....the past weeks were, ahem, a BIT hectic. BUT! Many things are there to tell...lets begin with that.

Past and present embraces
My great-grandfather has been born in the U.S., in a then little town called Perth Amboy just south of NYC. He and his parents were parts of the generation in Hungary which produced a mass flow of immigrants, mainly heading to the U.S. to escape from the ever deepening economical crisis at the turn of the century.
I have never known him.
With google earth, this morning I have walked the streets of Perth Amboy. Yes the houses may have changed... and still, what a learning experience it was. I felt his parents' anxiety - can anyone imagine what bitter desperation can turn a young couple to leave their home and go on a journey that hides its very end from their eyes? Then, around 1901, a journey to the U.S. - and as a very, very poor Hungarian couple - was extremely dangerous. They have saved whatever they had and burnt all bridges behind when setting off.
I seriously look up at them. All of them who took the courage.
And when I walk these streets where once my great-grandfather has born, I feel that he is looking at me right now.
I have never known him.

Awards - Díjak
Yes, I am terribly late with these, and I don't think I am a good person to receive blog awards for I never keep myself to teh rules:P
And now too, forgive me for not listing other bloggers and such to pass these two awards. Still, I am extremely grateful for them!

Handmade ouija board
This was a very old wish to make such a thing; since I have first read about them. The picture sucks I know, it was made with my phone (as I have soaked our camera in coffee at a dawn some weeks ago:P) - the original is much better. As you can see it has some diversions form the orignal ouijas - as there s a "welcome" inscription and stars and bats replace the sun and the moon. The pendant is going to be a phosphorescent stone.
What do you think? I am so eager to try it one day.
