My last weekend before I enter the real work world again. It was a joyous time to be a nanny for my niece the first 5 1/2 years of her life. I have to say it has been my best job ever. I will always be grateful for that time I had with her. Thankfully, I still can see her often even though it seems that those years just quickly went by. Am I really encroaching upon 40?
This weekend we went consignment store shopping together and picked up some random items. I found a 50 cent copy of 201 Russian Verbs. This was a great tool for me while in Russia. I had borrowed a newer copy from a library there. It conjugates common verbs in Russian. Remembering all the conjugations can be a daunting task so now I have my own copy to help in time of need. My niece ended up with a phonics game and an Orioles baseball cap.
For those with an interest in Russia, I would recommend reading the latest edition of National Geographic magazine. There is an informative and interesting article entitled, "New Faith in Russia" by Serge Schmemann, which focuses on the Russian Orthodox church. Thanks to my father for bringing it to my attention.

Wow, that's quite a deal. I really need to review verb conjugation.
It's a rainy weekend here too. I'm glad to finally stay put for the rest of the day.
By the way, you haven't shared about your new job.
cool find!!
I hope your new job is a blessing to you, Mary. You will be working at a nursing home, right? That is a special job. We are thankful that God gave you direction for the future.
I'll borrow that copy of NG from the library. It's often more fun to read about something when you know of a connection. Thanks Mary. Hope the job is going well. I'm sure you're doing great!
