I am beginning to think that my home economics teacher had Russian Menn. roots - she taught us how to make Borscht, Lep cookies, corn bread and such.

Often the growing family with new generations coming along changes the way we celebrate with our siblings (Because now we have grands to consider, and in-laws, and working around everyone's schedule, and it just gets too big...) But our sibling relationships get sweeter and more precious as the years go by and its important to keep them up. <br />Your scenery is so beautiful!Hollacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916548022979567056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-43892858179009280072011-12-13T09:16:24.837-08:002011-12-13T09:16:24.837-08:00Agreed!
