Because we had company from 'ACROSS THE POND' this week's theme is
Welcome To Our American Home! Our son and daughter-in-law from Saint Louis brought to visit Grandma here their sweet 3 month old Baby! Also our daughter-in-law's sweet Mom Tatyana from Belarus came to visit for the week-end. We had such a great visit!!! They arrived late and refreshments were waiting for our Guest.
Chocolate Stars, Sugar Babies, Chocolate covered Macadamia Nut Balls, Cookies, Walnuts, Pecans and Beverages.
The sweets are not only sweets to eat, but are to represent may you have a sweet life and a sweet visit. We had a sweet visit. Let me share somethings with you.
Tatyana blessed me with two beautiful glass pieces from Germany filled with Belarusian Chocolate Candy. Delicious. A very sweet surprise.
A Gift Bag filled with some goodies was waiting in the bedroom that Tatyana would rest in. Let's take a look of what was inside. Fun!!!
A Historical Book about the County we live in was also in the bag along with a decorative picture frame. I hope Tatyana felt comfortable and rested well while staying with us. If we had had a couple of more days...I can only imagine where we would have toured.

Dd,
Everything you did, all of the gifts, the gift bag, the white roses on the night stand, the fragrant candle burning, the Russian music playing when Tatyana arrived said "Welcome to our home".
It was all summed up when she said "I was nervous as we turned onto your street, but now, being here, I am am relaxed, I am at peace".
That's is how I felt when Tatyana and her husband welcomed us to their home in Belarus. All of the fatigues and tension of flying and being in a land where I don't speak the language quickly melted away. She was such a gracious host, as are you!
I think that is why she said "If we lived closer together, I know that we would all be very close friends".
You have a warm heart and a gift for making a home into an inviting haven.
