Labor day weekend

We went on an 8 mile canoe trip Saturday morning. It was beautiful and sunny! We stopped a few times to take a break. It took us about 4 hours, my arms were a bit sore and next time, I'm packing a cushion to sit on!



I've been baking batches upon batches of piroshki. I also made some ginger meringues to sell at the "sweet booth." Our church is putting on a Russian Fest this weekend! See photos from last year: HERE. I will be working as cashier at the "main food pavillion," when I'm not singing in the folk group performances. Everyone welcome!


You must go over to A Tad Bit Prudish and check out Sylvia's giveaway. She is helping to promote the launch of Blissfully Domestic! I just read the article about vaccinations and then, making trendy and affordable wall hangings...love it.

    What a shame I don't live closer! I would SO be there! Are you Russian, or is the church of Russian origin? (By the way, I found your friend Molly's blog, and I have to say, I absolutely LOVED her post on Virgin Mary!)
    I have never taken a serious trip on a canoe... I think I'd die if I had to row! OR MAYBE I'D LOSE SOME WEIGHT!!!

    Looks like you put on a nice festival. Our parish is hosting its first Russian festival in a couple of weeks. We'll see how it goes!

    What fun! I'm glad you all raised a lot of money for the church! I'm sure the girls had a blast!

    BTW, love the Vera Bradley bag in the background. :)
