Time to focus on SPRING!!!

Plus three today!

Spring means Easter is coming - this is just a small bit of the work the ladies at our church have been busy doing - making Paskas for the Easter Tea at the end of the month

You're going to love this story, Nat: our Mom was an exceptional cook, particularly wrt Ukrainian foods, breads..so one year, when we were teenagers, my brother was invited to dinner to his friend's parent's home for dinner, just prior to Easter. Naturally my Mom had baked Paska, and gave him one to bring to dinner....So...off he goes, with this wonderful bread, to their Finnish home, and when he arrives, announces that his Mom gave him some "Paska" to enjoy!
WELL! Apparently the looks on their faces stunned him!!
The Finnish word for "$hit" is.....you guessed it..."paska"!!! CAN you imagine??!!!

I thought you'd like that little scenario!!! Now play that line back using "$hit" instead of "paska"! hahaha!!!

Oy, Lynn - that's crazy! It's amazing what translates to what in different languages.

Only one week until spring!


Enjoy the last week of winter!

[Lynn49]

Isn't it just too crazy, Nat?!! Imagine!!

As for your use of the word, "enjoy" in a sentence referring to winter...um...wrong.
Unless one uses it in the context of: "I can't possibly enjoy winter."
That would be fine.

[Natalka]

It's winter. It was PLUS SIX today. Ergo, I enjoy winter!





(I like -40, too, though!)
