Tomorrow is Victory Day. Yep, another holiday! Early in the morning we are taking the family to the Botanical Gardens in Kyiv. Its a beautiful park and its the perfect time to go. The violets are in full bloom. Then back home for lunch… Then I will work for several hours and then tomorrow even […]

Just look how beautiful it is here!  The skies are beautifully blue, the sun is shining, the temperature is moderate.  Just perfect. We had a major review in language school yesterday.  It was good to spend three hours hammering away at the latest things we have learned.  We have been working on verbs of motion.

We had a great Sunday.  We had an early start — we go to a church in Kyiv on Sunday mornings so we leave the house a little before eight.  Ouch. When I opened the gate this morning, I found that we had a Sunday surprise.  Some of our beautiful lilies had bloomed.  I’m glad

We had an invitation to the home of some good friends today.  We thought it was to enjoy tea and coffee and conversation.  And the whole family was invited.  That’s not an easy thing to do (invite a family that has 8 kids and 5 of them with Down syndrome).  But away we went at 1:00
