Green Has Arrived

Lena's permanent resident card, otherwise known as the green card, has arrived and her name is spelled right and everything. The US government even knows she is female. We thankful for all that. Mistakes on a green card are not fun to fight! And now we await the social security number and we will be finished with immigration for about 3 years, the time she has to wait to apply for citizenship.

By the way, our regular blog readers will have noticed the Google ads on the left. They are ads associated with the Ukrainian Education Center. We are about half way to getting some money from Google so I decided to post the same ads to boost our number of clicks. When we get the donation, they will disappear. If you see something of interest, click. It helps the UEC! Otherwise, ignore them like product placements in movies.

I went to the farmer's market in Nashville. It was great to be in a market again. I also went to 2 international stores. I felt at home briefly. Mostly because everything looked foreign and that's what I am used to. I did see a bottle of Mirinda which I thought was only produced in the Soviet Union. How wrong I was.

I also spent about an hour driving around West End looking for one place that I finally found. I would think that it would be just around the corner only to find that I was actually driving to one of the several places Lipscomb students once frequented. So that was odd. And confusing.

We prepared a little for Vitaly and Lera's arrival. We also enjoyed a fine meal and movie with the Prills. An incredibly delicious cheesecake was enjoyed by all.
