Then Tatiana folds sheets, washes all his uniforms by hand on a washboard, picks blueberries, makes pie and compote, goes fishing, makes fish soup, peels potatoes, makes potato pancakes.........then sews him a top. All in 1 afternoon. <br /><br />I once sewed my 1year old (who is now 14)a dalmatian costume for Halloween. It took me 2 months. The house was filled with tiny pieces of black and white thread and material, pins, etc. Afterwards, everyone would comment on what a sweet "cow" she was. <br /><br />Thank goodness for Costco costumes!!Jane Jefferieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611773304104707833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-6131520718574962112011-06-11T10:28:56.751-04:002011-06-11T10:28:56.751-04:00I know!

And now I have to say I'm psyched to let her just enjoy Lazarevo - even if it means no blogging!<br /><br />And, I love reliving the reading of this series through Carol (whose comedy voice is literally bar none!) - but have to say again, read it slowly - there are only three books and then there you are, like me, with nothing but rereads ahead and memories of Lazarevo!Sirenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242656468311088519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-12746608355265310982011-06-10T15:57:40.245-04:002011-06-10T15:57:40.245-04:00Lazarevo is the best!

Since Friday, I have read TBH and T&A and have preordered The Summer Garden for my Kindle on June 21. Love that these books were able to keep my up at night (besides now being totally trashed and lacking in sleep and missing out on making dinner and completing school Report Cards). Loved the history of Russia during WWII. Love the romance. Not going to give anything away at all. But enjoy.<br /><br />So, anyone out there have any other book recommendations?<br /><br />TheresaTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139884476907808140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-56988865686564624602011-06-09T17:52:57.612-04:002011-06-09T17:52:57.612-04:00LAZAREVO!!!LAZAREVO!!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303207024029820196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-70835931332155903502011-06-09T17:09:25.304-04:002011-06-09T17:09:25.304-04:00Honestly, after Leningrad, the reader totally dese...Honestly, after Leningrad, the reader totally deserves Lazarevo!Sirenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242656468311088519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-53464161978887355962011-06-09T16:59:08.624-04:002011-06-09T16:59:08.624-04:00Ohhhhhhhhhh, Lazareeeeeeeevo.Ohhhhhhhhhh, Lazareeeeeeeevo.Jane Jefferieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611773304104707833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-46861249451275140242011-06-09T16:27:32.832-04:002011-06-09T16:27:32.832-04:00ooohhhh, it's gettin' goooodooohhhh, it's gettin' goooodRochellenoreply@blogger.com
