My Sister Nadezhda (Nadya) and her boyfriend Kirill - the same place we took pictures of Oleg and Svetlana but 6 days later - what a difference!

You are probably wondering - what is that on the fence? It is a little bridge in the park with bunch of personalized locks. One of Russian wedding traditions - newlyweds go for a walk somewhere and any bridge they find they put a lock on together and throw away the keys into the water.

Oleg and Svetlana - Obninsk, March

Friends/Family

2009-03-31T00:43:00.000-07:00

Scott + Dasha + Sasha = true great friends and a happy little family

You have already seen Sasha's pictures before, so Scott and Dasha (Darya) are his loving parents and my wonderful friends. That's who I stayed with in Texas.

Dasha and I went to the same school in Obninsk, Russia, but we didn't know each other until we moved in the US. Isn't that ironic? Now we can't get enough of visiting with each other, but we live in two different states and don't see each other too often.

Scott is a great web-designer and a business man. His head is always full of all kinds of neat ideas. Thinker! With a big "T"!

They both are very thoughtful, kind, caring and fun people!

In August 2008 Dasha and Scott had a little but very important addition to their family - Aleksander, which I was happy to meet and spend some time with. Today he is 7 months old!

And I seem to hum nothing else but kids songs... "Itsy bitsy spider"... "A-b-c-d"... and all the other famous melodies Aleks has built in his toys :) And the next day gets automatically planned around his nap-and-play time. I don't know what I'm going to do with all that time I will have when I get back home. :)

Thank you for taking good care of me, guys, and taking everywhere! I love you and I will miss you! XO

Big! Huge! Enormous!...

2009-03-24T11:31:00.001-07:00

Big! Huge! Enormous!.. size prints we can do for you! No matter if we took a picture or you already have one you love - we can blow it up.

- it is alot cheaper than to have a portrait painted by an artist, but looks almost the same

- it is quicker than to have a painting done

- you can pick a material - paper to have it framed and put under the glass or plexi-glass or canvas to have it wrapped around over the frame like in the galleries

As an example - big print 30 in x 40 in on the paper is $160 ( just to compare, at many places you can get 16x20 in print for $100 or more)

Personalize your house with your portraits or pictures. It is affordable!

Bad-hair day? - No! Good nap! :)))

Congratulations, Ladies!

2009-03-07T23:33:00.000-08:00

March, 8 is women's holiday, a holiday of spring, love and attention to the woman - International Woman's Day (IWD). It is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women.

Started as a political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries (primarily Russia and the countries of former Soviet bloc). In some celebrations, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love to the women around them in a way somewhat similar to Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day mixed together.

In Russia it is one of the most important holidays. Everybody is off - it is a natonal holiday. All Russian Men traditionally congratulate All Women in their lives (their mothers, wives, daughters, grandmothers, girl-friends, teachers...) with first spring flowers: mimosa and tulips, candies and cards with self-made short poems. Every Woman of any age gets the presents, all women are honored - they are surrounded with flowers, love and caress . A woman is not allowed to do anything around the house today: men do all the cooking, cleaning, washing….

Ahh...The 8th of March is the best holiday for Russian women of any age. Too bad it only happens once a year :)

I guess I'm the lucky one to get the love, flowers and attention on any and every day.:) Thank you, dear!

Trip with llamas

2009-02-13T19:46:00.000-08:00

So... about yesterday. Sandy is mama for 8 llamas. Yesterday we got to meet 2 of them. They are the sweetest animals - so soft, warm, kind, sensitive and smart. Each one has their own personality and character.

Sandy and her llamas do the trips/hikes around the Smokies. It is so much fun! Llamas carry all your hiking gear, food, drinks and you just walk, lead your llama and enjoy the views and weather...like we did :) Sandy took us to one of the waterfalls.

Here is more information about them

Tatiana's Day

2009-01-26T23:20:00.000-08:00

Yesterday they celebrated Tatiana's Day in Russia. It is like a second birthday for everybody whose name is Tatiana, but also a holiday for all students.

Here is some more info from history:

January, 25 is memorial of Tatiana the great martyr which is a patroness of all Tatianas. On January, 25 , back in 1755, Russian empress Elizabeth the Great founded the Moscow University. Since that this day has become the most favorite and the merriest holiday of students. It was the noisiest day of the year in big cities. Students gathered into large groups and walked all together along the streets singing students' songs and drinking bear. They were drunk with the feeling of incredible freedom, because even police had not been recommended to arrest students on that day. In some regards it was something like: Woodstock for rock-and-roll fans back in 60's. Not only students but also professors considered Tatiana's day to be their professional holiday and they themselves somehow became old students and acted accordingly. In the Soviet period of Russian history Tatiana's day was forbidden, but in 1993 it was revived and presently it is the great event for all students and professors again.

Anyway, I got me something today. I was browsing in A.C.Moore craft store and something very familiar caught my eye. It was a little plastic box of watercolors - very similar if not the same like I had in Art School in Obninsk. That brings memories... Ahh!..
