Patricia E. Giedraitis said… Aciu labai!! So wonderful to be a part of this wonderful website!! I have been born and raised in Chicago, Illinois with wonderful parents who raised and taught 6 children to love and honor their heritage. Mano tete passed away 6 years ago at 95. He was an organist and an active writer for muzikos zinios. My mother was an opera singer for the chicago lithuanian opera for many years. We all were brought up very musically and tradithionally in the lithuanian heritage. Now that my father is passed my mother carries on the tradiotion and am so grateful to have the upbringing of my heritage so far away from my home country. My mother had the privelidge to visit lithuania a few years ago. My sister and mother went there to adopt an orphan from Lithuania and is now living with my sister and husband and 5 children in Lemont, Ill. Thank you so much for this website!! I know I will enjoy it and definitely pass it on to my family....my big sister already found it from my fb like and praised me for the info....Valio!!

Joel Mosher said… the Baltic American Freedom League has a website
They are having a conference or something at St. Casimir's Church in LA soon
according to the Saturday LA LT radio show but I forgot the details. Maybe it will
show up on their website.
There's always something going on at St. Casimir's. When school starts this fall
there'll be a bunch of events. It seemed that last school year, I'd find a flyer
on my car every week referring to some event at the church.
I'll keep my ear to the ground.

Did you Know that Ellen Petkaitis Carmichael died this morning in a tragic car accident?
I just thought I should forward this message as it was she who got me interested in this site besides 'Our Mothere Recipes" on facebook.

Ellen Petkaitis Carmichael said… - Thanks for the friend invite and for the nice post about "Our Mom's Lithuanian Recipes" group. I hope more people join. I've actually made a couple of "friends" from that site. One woman from Switzerland and I started messaging....discussing some recipe outside of the wall...and now we occasionally chat about other ongoings in our parts of the world.
