It was like code to see if you were a foreigner and if you spoke the language. Esp kids would ask us, so they probably just wanted to hear your awesome accent!

Once when we were on a missions trip to Ukraine, our kind host family left us some "meat" to eat while they were out for the day. Unfortunately, it was a few steps below gross sandwich bologna! We knew we'd offend them if they came home and found it uneaten though, so their scrawny dog got a great snack that day!The McEachernshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302805125460988376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-60118513738861872662010-09-16T10:54:38.269-04:002010-09-16T10:54:38.269-04:00Oh my, Rob.

How funny! You are not going to get away with anything with Miss Valla around! <br />I didnt know whether to laugh or cry about the women...

Finding women. <br />We figured, the only people we met who were Americans were in Ukraine for 2 reasons. Adoption, or wife hunting. LOL<br />The first apartment we stayed in in Kyiv was interesting. It was a "wife" apartment and the pictures on the wall were, well..... ummmm....Embarrassing!<br />What really cracked me up was this old, fat bald guy said, there were no beautiful women in America interested in him...... ummmm You think?<br />LOL<br />Valla sounds like a lovely lady. And you too can forgoe your flu shots for the year this year. She will have your immune systems built up to withstand any or all illness for the next year!Christie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738612207150868577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-3039392515184992212010-09-16T08:31:04.317-04:002010-09-16T08:31:04.317-04:00Oh, I love sour cream already, and while I don'...Oh, I love sour cream already, and while I don't add it to everything at home now I LOVED using it over there. My daughter still puts sour cream and a sprinkle of sugar on her pancakes. It actually was an argument at the breakfast table.
