Women's Day card 
Mimosa sprig
Pasha's cabbage buns
Pasha's Cherry and cheese Ukrainian PieI want to wish all the women of the world a happy International Women’s Day! This holiday is not the same as our Mother’s Day in the States. The 8th of March is a holiday that honors ALL women, whether you are just a small girl, or you are one of the older gals on the block.
On Friday, I gathered a small gift for each of the women we know. I found special 8th of March cards and the traditional flower, a branch of Mimosa. Only 2 of our friends were outside selling their foodstuffs on Friday and so I brought them these little gifts. I was disappointed that Pasha wasn’t there. So, I waited…
She called us yesterday and explained that she had caught a cold and wasn’t going to be out selling her goods on Saturday either, BUT, that she had something that she wanted to give to me for the holiday. She asked if Jerry would meet her as she was sick and didn’t want to infect us. Jerry went to meet her, bringing her gift along. He returned with a bag of home baked cabbage buns and a Ukrainian Pie. How delicious!
We are going to our neighbor’s home later today to wish Galina a happy Women’s Day.
Today our family in Oregon is gathering for a big family dinner…missing those family dinners, grandparents, Aunt, Uncle, daughters, son-in-law…hope they will have a great time of being together, laughing together and the great food! Our son is on a school retreat, enjoying a break from studies, hanging out with friends and being challenged to live a deeper life in Christ!
Happy International Women’s Day, whatever you have going on in your lives!
