Katya the Biker Chick!




Our wonderful friend Randy, and I do mean wonderful, came by today to give Katya a ride on his gorgeous Harley! Randy is our friend I mentioned in an earlier blog who is responsible for me going to Russia for the first time in 2001. We had a very difficult day on September 10th so we took Katya over to speak to him that evening and he was wonderful. Katya was experiencing some homesickness for her friends and teachers at the orphanage so Randy helped her through it with his perfect Russian. She just needed to talk for awhile and vent her feelings to someone who understands, literally! Katya has been fine since that bad day, I think something must have triggered her sadness. Her new and improved mood might have something to do with the cat we brought home from the animal shelter yesterday! NEVER SAY NEVER! I always said I would never own an animal that does its business indoors, but that's exactly what we have now! Katya LOVES Princessa (Russian for Princess) and she is a good-natured cat that tolerates being carried around all day!

Tonight Katya is spending the night with Katie! Katya adores her big sister! When Katie asked Katya what she wanted for dinner she said French Fries so Katie found a place that has unlimited French Fries with dinner. She did manage to eat a hamburger too! The last time I spoke with Katie they were making cupcakes so they are having a wonderful time together. Thank heaven for big sisters!
