My comfort found in tea, Summer Bouquet was the choice today, in my cute yellow cup. Makes me warm all the way down to my toes

Today I received a card from a friend in Novosibirsk. I loved it. I need to be better at remembering and appreciating all of those that I love so much that I left there in Russia (and all those that live here for that matter...)

WINGERS!!!  Oh how I missed you!  Haven't had the delicious sticky fingers or asphalt pie in two years or more!  And always great to share it with someone great! This here is my friend Derek. He just returned home from his mission so we got to be "those"  R.M's that only talk about their missions.  It was so great!  Not to mention our adventures with the first restaurant we went to that had a black out and the second one a fire....maybe it was us... :)

Today was the day that I witnessed for myself this great film.  It was incredible and heart wrenching and beautiful.  Gavroche stole my heart.
