Ivan's big day

Hello all,
Many men in
Russia think they are left out but nyet, no they are not. Veteran's day has come and gone. On our way home from Nahodka a week ago I thought that Vasilisa and Jan were a bit secretive. They wanted to shop for some groceries, normalna. Pink icing???? Then Late that night I happened to catch Vasilisa working in the kitchen, hmmm. Well the next day my surprise came. A celebration for me-the only man here at the moment. It was a delicious cake. It was difficult to save some for the next day when Annette and Karyn would arrive; but I did.
I wonder if it is a setup. Women's day is this coming Sunday, 8 March. I am out numbered.
This Sat. we are invited to the American Consul for the yearly Americans party. It is a Chili cookoff. Sounds like a great Women's day surprise to me.
Today is the normalna-more classes for all of us.

I'm leaving a comment in exchange for the the one you left on our blog ;) It's true....we get very few comments either....although, I think we get a lot less than you guys! It is neat to check out your blog and see all your adventures! Mom had mentioned you had a blog awhile ago, but I kept forgetting to get the web address for it. It looks like you guys are having quite a good time with your travels....maybe someday we could come and visit while you are there! Hope all is well with you...Take care.
