Laundry Day
Our Cleaning Lady
Our Favorite Pizza Place
View Towards City Center. Our apartment is to the right about two blocks
Wow, it is cold out here
Today is day six of the waiting period. Louise Evenson and Natasha left early this morning to start the final leg of their journey home with passports etc. I left at 7:00am this morning for a three mile run. It was quite cold this morning and Ann snapped a picture of me as I returned all bundled up. It was cleaning day today as well so our cleaning lady showed up around 11:00am. Ann and I left for the market to pick up a few things. It is several blocks to the market. We are about two blocks off of one of the main arteries in Poltava. We snapped a few pictures showing the main road in both directions and our favorite pizza place.
Ruslan and the Evenson's girls, Tonia and Tomila (Angelina) arrived around 4:00pm. We watched Harry Potter while Ann fixed dinner, scrambled eggs and fried potatoes with cucumbers and tomatoes. This is the first night the Evanson girls are staying with their parents. Ruslan had to ride back to the orphanage without the girls this evening. Very sad to see him go back alone.

sad about Ruslan! he'll be able to stay with you soon though. Is dad still running? seriously, i worry. also your dinner?? the eggs and potatoes sound good but how did cucumbers and tomatoes get in the mix?
The kids here eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, with everything. Did you hear that Tanner!
Hi Ann - We are really happy for you guys. Just wondering if you had a chance to drop the items off to our three we are adopting in Poltova? Also wondering if you were able to find out about Katya's friend and had been able to get a picture of her. Thanks. Hope the rest of your time goes well. Dave & Griselda
We had the same pizza chain in Sumy, just across the street from our apt, well kiddie corner. yum-yum. I loved their salads.
Here's what Vern did for his running while we were there - he ran up and down the stair well, up and down and up and down, he really worked up a sweat. Does it seem real yet?
Do you think the pizza would make it back here ok? We went to dinner with good ol' Dean and Anne last night and talked about how Christmas is going to be an overwhelming experience for Ruslan to come home to. I can't wait to get pictures. Jeff you look great all bundled up! Hee, Hee!!
Maggie, where are you? Did you see the picture of the street dog we sent? We miss you. Give us a post when you get some time. Love you. Dad
Looks like your settling right in -- daily runs, pizza, laundry, street layouts, cooking. Glad things are going well. Hang in there, it won’t be long now and Ruslan will be with you full time.
