On my business trip to the US my parents drove out from MN to IL to visit me. What a joy it was to spend time with them. It’s so great to have such good friends in my parents. They are also planning to make a trip to Russia this summer. We are looking forward to their arrival with great anticipation.

Mom feeling a bit sick, but not enough to keep her from a card game.


Dad also joining in for a round of cards.
