May is a Time to Celebrate!

Beginning with Victory Day (May 9th), I was invited to a neighborhood concert. The audience consisted of five enthusiastic grandmothers, three sets of parents, some youthful bystanders, and me. Here are some fun pictures from the celebration:

All the performers at their finest!

Saying goodbye to volunteers who have fulfilled their service commitment has always been one of the most difficult times for me. To celebrate Greg's close-of-service, we went to an AMAZING restaurant with Donna and Ben.

Dorothy's last subway ride in Ukraine needed to be documented. Dorothy has been a huge part of my support system while living in Ukraine. So excited for her - she will be attending graduate school in New York this fall. She will be missed, but I'm looking forward to visiting her in New York!

Mal and David are currently in Novoukrainka - so I'll be posting more pics soon!

Thanks for following.

With love,
