Russians love to celebrate. And they do it well! Traditions abound and birthdays are occasions to speak words of blessing and congratulation into the lives of your close people. My birthday (the second time I have been here for it) started with gifts, flowers, cards, and the kind words…and hasn’t stopped yet. Yes, of course I had a cake! A marvelous 10-layer torte anybody would be glad to enjoy. Wish you could all be here to taste what’s left of it (not much…) I am so blessed to have treasured friendships here and the time and resources to be able to enjoy them.
Loved seeing this and so glad to see you deeply blessed, dear and lovely Jeanette. Happy Birthday!
love,

I am also glad. 🙂 xoxo
What a wonderful birthday for you!
So happy to see the picture of you (listen, I can see you never gained a pound since your commitment not to! What a will power!:O) Lovely photo, Jeanette, missed you a bunch, so glad to hear the folks over there came organized for the occasion!:)
I did my best! But it will be a challenge to stay even close to the goal while I’m here. The food is just too tasty and plentiful.
No need to stay away from food over there:) With your schedule, always on the go, you should not have any concerns:)
