Actually I heard it in her voice and suspected it, but it still is a pleasant surprise when Sveta said that she had to change her plans due to the upcoming holiday (Russia Day) and she had to either come early or late and since coming later than like after the holidays, would not be an option for her, nor I. She chose early and worked it out to come this Saturday, like in tomorrow, to show up and stay about a week at the village…
Therefore yesterday I received several items of tidbit; One – was that Sveta would show up this Saturday Night and Two – was that Sveta’s son Misha is getting married to his girlfriend. So then there is a wedding coming up and it should be a doozy, for the girls mom is into this, getting her daughter married thingy. Married before she is a spinster thingy. Her mom is also into this thing called, “Grandchildren!” Like not as in singular, but as in multiples…
I already had predicted the marriage situation and I will also go on record that soon the announcement of a bouncing baby will be forthwith. I can see Sveta’s face as she reads this part and she is thinking that she will be a babushka… 🙂 hee hee
My advice to Misha, “Run Misha! Run! Run while you can!” But I know it is too late and he already has that deer in the head lights look…
I am glad that the train was filled for the day she wanted to come and glad that the train was filled for all the days around that particular day and I am very glad that she will come much earlier. The holidays in Russia starts the 12th of June and since people travel by trains in Russia more than by cars, the trains are full up for the holiday times…
Oh me – oh my! If I could have been able to get a photo in the dark, I would have last night. The lake area and fields around it where full of millions of fireflies. I was stunned and it was simply incredible. It was like waves of flashing lights and many times they seemed to be in a form of orchestral. The lights would flash from one side of the lake to the other, as if they flashed to a song only they could hear. Then I heard music and maybe that was their motivation, the sound of a million frogs wafted up to me and it seemed that for awhile, that nature was conducting music on a grand scale…
Nature and the earth really are splendid and we do need to stop and smell the roses more than one time a year…
Photo above is a Windows to Russia, just look deeply…
