2009 Russian Festival - Sunday
The weather was much better on Sunday and we had a nice crowd. The day ended with a closign ceremony, but nobody took photographs. Then we had to move everything from the tent into the building before we could go home. It did not take us that long to do, however.
I ws very happy to see Katya and then Bob and Mary with Naomi. Katya and I have become very close friends over the years. I have some place a photograph of her leaning back on my lap during a hay ride at Cathedral Gardens.
