    That coat lining looks a little . . . girly? But the hat is definately a man’s hat. What’s the Russian equivalent of Pat? Sasha?
    . . . a ma’am or a sir . . . respect him or her . . .

    This picture is amazing. So much story behind it. Can I borrow it for my class? I will project it on the wall and tell my students to free write.

    What a great photo.
    I love pussy willows. I’ll have to go get some this week.
    My granddaughter told me on Easter Sunday that they were celebrating both Easters and they were having their egg hunt this Sunday. Maybe that will be the start of a new tradition.

    I have the 11:00 local CBS news and the weather is on. It hit 71 here in CT today. Unfortunately I was inside at work.

    He even pulled out a $3 bill with Bill Clinton on it smoking a cigar. When I asked him what he thought of Obama, he said it was too early to tell. But he was hopeful.

    What are the willows used for? Decoration?
    I love seeing the eggs colored with onion skins. so rich. Are those as popular as the pastel colors in the US?
