About a month ago, Kristin asked me if I would interesting to make the
grasshopper hat for their school performance. Of course I said Yes, but
Many Thanks  to Kristin that she remind me about hat for couple  hours
before performance LOL!! Funny is that I had all supplies needed in my
stash, even for grasshopper  theme 😉 It’s definitely a time to clean my
studio… but on the other side… KWIM?!

What a weekend! Having Olympic such close to us, sure we can’t miss it!

A little more then 2 hours of driving plus 1 hour in line to pass the border
and we were there ;o)
 
We so enjoined every minute of that day and I don’t have words to
describe all feelings and emotions we had … 
 

Sunny weather, walking, chatting… happy people everywhere, music,
party on every corner and Olympic things around…

We’ve met lots of people from different countries…

… and some funny dressed folks ;o)

The cherry on the top was a Hokey game – we were lucky enough to buy
tickets about 25 min right before game was going to start ;o)

And to our full amazement the tickets we’ve got were to Skyline and it
is a first time when we saw “seats” like that.  To be honest, I’ve had no
clue that stadiums have places like that at all, but it was really Awesome!
It’s like a  suit with kitchen, leather sofas, bar, restroom… and definitely 
not least, a game watch option ;0)

We watched Belarus/Germany and SURE SOOO excited that Belarus won
5:3!!! Te game was really Amazing and so interesting. I did not miss any
second, unbelievable LOL! I can’t say that I’m a big Hokey fan, but if here
are many games like we watched, count me in! Oh and now I understand
better my friend Servane, who became a fan of Hokey after moving to
Canada ;o)

What the memories!!!

Sick as a dog…

… I bet you hate to be sick too. But a really sad thing is that I’ve missed
my second day of part time job I was so excited to found … Oh, and not
to mention that I’ve lost my voice this morning 🙁 Well, probably that’s bad
just for me LOLLLL!) If seriously… I really hope back to normal in 1-2 days.
I’m doing my best to replying all your emails Sweet Ladies, but I’m so sorry
for any delays. Please be patience with me! I’ll be back as soon as possible,
well you know me… 

P.S.: Hope you are having more likely Monday than me!

I think, it was our last camping this year and I’ll really wonder if Seattle’s
weather will spoil us with such delight summer next year. But here are
always an option to visit Chelan, Wenatchee or any other places like
these. We will see…

… Depeche Mode is never disappointing. What an amazing show they put
on. Energy, electricity. Opening song, In Chains, amazing. Gives the whole
mass of fans a taste for the direction of the concert.

A blast from the past… Ukraine. I was 17 and have moved to another city,
where I spent greatest 5 years as a student of University of Economy.
…Always no money… min food and sleeping…  black nail polish… Metallica,
Alice Cooper, Ария, Depeche Mod, Queen, Алиса, Черный кофе… just to
name a few. Would I ever expect that I’ll live here and visit Depeche Mod
concert some other day?! … Life is WONDERFUL, isn’t?! ;o)

A wonderful weekend

I think this year in Seattle is most Wonderful and sunny summer we ever
had here. So, we are  trying offer to Kristin as much outdoor activities as
we can and sure so enjoy them too ;o) This weekend we visited such so
Beautiful Lake Wenatchee State Park and had wonderful camping time
with our friends.

P.S: Oh my, I’m still sooo out of my schedule, but decided to be not such
hard on myself and must admit that feel much better 😉 If seriously, I am
going to hurry back to work, BTS things and some other hurry things…

We are back

… from our two days trip to Las Vegas. We visited it for the first time and
we had a Blast for sure… but I’ve got a strange feeling is that even if all
these “stuff” are PROP… and you’re probably not a kind of that Romantic
person … anyways, you would never disprove that Vegas is such colorful
and festive city ;o) Well, let’s go to some pictures “trip”… below are views
of Bellagio hotel and how “Paris” looks like from our room…

… We arrived VERY late on Monday and since Kristin was too tired, we did
not have activities that night… But in a morning.. FIRST, we’re so enjoined 
to swim in a such warm pool that I would never expect; then we’ve got 
great breakfast time and a little shopping… Even if there are no big Fan of
shopping in our family, it was interesting to compare stuff and we found…
that for example my favorite  Black and White House market and Cache 
offered items available only online here, in WA, and some of them came
with really great deals…  well, it’s logical ;o)

Then met Igor’s cousin and walked along strip (mainly in the car :o)

… Later in the evening we watched Mystere by Cirque du Soleil, a MAIN
reason I always wanted to visit Las Vegas. Unfortunately there was no
show O available during our visit, but we will back for sure! I can’t believe
that people have such Phenomenal possibilities and such Incredibly artistic!
They do things you couldn’t imagine… Absolutely Awe-inspiring!!

Next day, after morning swimming, we drove to Red Rock Canyon 
(Love the panoramic picture Igor took!) A PLACE I would definitely come
back for some trails!!

P.S.: Oh and you know why I did not mention that 109 “Las Vegas” degrees 
at all?!! :o)  Can you believe it, but when we came back to Seattle,  the
temperature was almost the same as in Las Vegas but we don’t have
conditioners here LOL! I mean houses in Seattle never have conditioners
initially. We don’t need them according to local weather… not sure I think
so ;o)
