I got in the mail the two books I made using the PhotoWerks website. They are hardback books, a photographic chronicle of our family, from 1957 when Mom and Dad were married, to today. I was thrilled to see the results of my hard work. The larger book will stay here, and the smaller book will go to Igor. Alesia and I worked this afternoon, translating the captions into Russian. We will tape the translation right below the English, in the book for Igor. His book contains more photos of the house.
The other photo book will stay on the table in the family room. In case of a fire we can just grab it, not the many photo albums.
I found Alesia an adventure book for kids, set in the Revolutionary War. She just got it yesterday and has already read half of it. She’s becoming quite a reader.
We had a good day. Since Alesia has started taking a drawing class at the Spruill Center on Saturdays, Mother and I feed her early, then drop her off at Spruill, and we go eat lunch somewhere in Dunwoody. It gives us a chance to catch up. Today we ate at Houlihans. Excellent food.
Alesia and I headed to CVS, then the store, late this afternoon. After buying groceries, we picked up some Chinese food for dinner. I love Chinese takeout – I love food I can eat in my bathrobe, that someone else has prepared! Cooking gets so tiresome. Anyway, my fortune cookie said “Your hard work is about to pay off!” – YAY! I like to believe fortune cookies, when they are favorable to me.
I have very little work compared to this lady whose blog I have been reading. She is an adoptive mom to 39 kids! Yes, you read that right – 39. Only about 25 are still at home. Her blog is fascinating and funny. I don’t know how she finds time to write!
