Do you have anymore pictures of the Mennonite dwellings in Ukraine, of 1870s or earlier? My ancestors left Russia in the 1870s.<br />Thanks!MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15885382811519672193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608858045836474752.post-77891584734257433002007-03-25T20:09:00.000-07:002007-03-25T20:09:00.000-07:00Thanks for your messages; seems like you don't hav...Thanks for your messages; seems like you don't have enough hours in the day to get everything done that demands your attention. As you are having wonderful (and often difficult)experiences in Ukraine, you, of course, have to miss a lot of great stuff happening out here. Last night we attended thr Abendmusik Lenten Vespers; this afternoon Neil Mathies's Choral Group presented their concert in Chilliwack. Our kids arrived this afternoon, so we'll try to get to the latter on Wed. Henry and I went to see the movie Amazing Grace portrayung the story of the abolishion of slavery coming about through the impetus of William Wilberforce. A very moving story, filmed in England.<BR/><BR/>The bad weather has been a big topic out here- with frequent occurrences of rock and mudslides and resultant highway closures. Today we got to see the sun, and the week looks considerably more promising than the last few.<BR/><BR/>We had a great service this morning with Dr. Rod Wilson in both the current issues class as well as our speaker in the Lit. Service. CBC choral group with Tony Funk served us with music instead of our choir.<BR/><BR/>I don't expect that you have much time for reading, but it seems to me you took "Snow" with you. We'll have to talk about it when you come back; I have 100 pages left to read.<BR/><BR/>We were fortunate that Brent came this afternoon and very quickly set up a Gmail account for me.<BR/><BR/>We miss you two, but know when one is as fully involved as you are with many urgent needs, we're sure time is going by very quickly.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your updates and great photos (Everything is Illuminated); makes us feel we're there.<BR/><BR/>God bless you each day. <BR/><BR/>Mary and HenryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129739340041139310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608858045836474752.post-35412661309080189222007-03-17T00:37:00.000-07:002007-03-17T00:37:00.000-07:00yo you two!So good to hear from you!

It...Our International Women's Day passed unnoticed. It is interesting to see how much importance Ukrainians put on that day. Hopefully this will encourage them to recognize the significant role women play in everyday Ukrainian life. <BR/><BR/>Do you notice that they never have an International Men's Day? Some would suggest that is 364 days of the year and others would suggest if they had one, men wouldn't remember the date...<BR/><BR/>Sounds like your weather is a bit better than our cool rainy days in Victoria. Hopefully others in the apartment will sort things out with the gas people so we won't be greeted by a stove when we arrive in the hallway. Here's our suggestion: take that old stove and drop it into one of those potholes. That should solve two problems! But don't use that rusty propane tank to fill any potholes--it could make a direct tunnel to Clearbrook.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your note.<BR/>Ben and LindaBen and Lil's Ukraine Reportshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516934094598104191noreply@blogger.com
