2/23/2009 MONDAY

After breakfast, Chris & Sasha (our host) took Y back to school. There were hugs & kisses and some tears. While they were gone, I walked up to the neighborhood market and bought a special cake for Sasha...in Ukraine it was "Man's Day" a holiday/celebration for all the men in Ukraine.They are supposed to receive little appreciation tokens from family & friends in remembrance of all the men that have been in military service (I think). Anyway, after lunch Chris & I had a good visit with E.& D. Still lots of snow!
