Eighty-Nine

Today my Great-Grandmother is 89. Wowowowow!
I hope I live to be that old.

She lives in Chelyabinsk.

Fellow Russians

I love my beautiful family, & I love these old pictures that I brought back from Russia a few months ago. The first one is my Babushka (Grandma) Kapitallina Fedorovna, who we just call Baba Kapa. She's my mom's mother. The second picture is my Dyedushka (Grandpa) Genadiev Mikhailovich, who we call Dyeda Gena. Yep, my mother's father. Babushka and Dyedushka are still very happily together. The third picture is my mom's younger sister (my aunt) Margarita Gennadievna. We call her Rita for short. I can't even begin to write the Russian word for "aunt" in English letters. (Hahaha, it ended up looking very strange.) These are just their first and patronymic names. Love my Ruskies. :)
