Russian Birthdays on Apache Street

We had a very special celebration today, our traditional lunch to celebrate the birthdays of our dear Russian friends, Larissa and Oksana. It was a potluck with everyone bringing something tasty. The venue: Christine's home

Many delicious dishes: Lentil & Spinach Salad, Cabbage & Beet Salad, Vegetable Spread for the Russian bread, Herring, Cheese and Crackers

 Larissa cuts the birthday cake as Ginny looks on. Ginny brought some Russian chocolates.

After lunch the Birthday Girls opened their presents. From Ginny to each BG: Marvelous scented hand creams. From Larissa to Oksana: A beautiful cherry blossom thermos, Nordic Style. From Christine to each BG: A framed photo of one of our birthday lunches at the Aroma, where we originally met for these lunches. See the photo below: Pictured are Larissa, Oksana, Ginny, Christine, and George (missing today).
