How was your trip, Russian Jane?

How was my trip? Glad you asked!

I spent the last 5 weeks in America, taking care of business and seeing my loved ones.  I had a wonderful and refreshing time, and while I'm excited to back in Russia, I can't help but think back on my time in the States and be a little sad it's over...

I sat on a motorcycle.

My dad's motorcycle, to be exact.

Mom had a go

I saw a lot of this guy, my favorite (only) brother

I ate the stuff that Dad and Uncle Randy grilled

I saw my grandma Lois and my cousin (who's coming this summer!) among other relatives

I hosted a Russian dinner for my support time (I love you guys!)

I made Russian food for them - "Anthill Cake"...

...and "Herring in a Fur Coat"

I spent as much time as I could with these people

This guy again...

I saw my best friends

I even managed to pop over to Seattle with my parents!

These two are just fantastic

Anyone else a fan of Pirozhky Pirozhky by the market? I spoke to the owner in Russian!

We saw the Chihuly exhibit

I was there to see Maverick Motorsports move to it's new location (out North Reserve, check it out!)

And I saw Wyatt in this shirt..."World's Best Mama"... aim high

My time in America was fantastic, but it's time to get back to work! We had a camp meeting yesterday and I learned that we are SOLD OUT for English Camp already! It's only April!  I'll be busy writing books and getting visas for my team of volunteers, and then in June the fun begins.  I'll be sure to keep you in the loop about the going-ons of Russian Jane!  Until then...

Пока ребята,

Russian Jane
