What Ukraine Is To Me...
PEOPLE!!... Natasha, Larissa, Galyna, Nadia, Lyba, Annya, Oksanna, Alona, Prokopchuks, Talbot/KTS students, faculty and staff, Vova - his family and church, Cvet Evangeli, Elya and his family, Holly, Heidi, Hue Chon, Sheri, McDonnells, Woodens, Burketts, Sharon, Lois, Jones', SEND colleagues... I (we) just returned from a full 10 days of bliss visiting w/ all of these dear friends in Ukraine. It was bliss for me. Ben and I felt the loss of Ukraine more than ever on this visit. Ben misses the atmosphere and wholesomeness of other MKs - they really understand each other.... our trip... a slice of Heaven.
On the way back, we spent 3 days in Paris...
If you don't mind second-hand smoke, exhaust, and noise... Paris is the cultural center for you...
For me... outside of Paris - Giverny - the home of Monet's Garden... my place... and if all our friends from Ukraine were there with us and from America... it would have been absolutely heavenly. God was there in all His splendor of shapes, colors and scents.
Yes, a trip with a glimpse of Heaven.

You're the greatest!...
I have two great kids...
Yesterday, they scrubbed our kitchen floor, did all the laundry, shopped for dinner groceries and Ben (his idea) made us dinner! I'm not sick - just not supposed to lift heavy things yet. By the end of the day, I told them that I would treat them to a movie in the theatre - it hardly seems like an even payback - thanks guys - you're the greatest!
