A photo taken a few days ago... Everything is very dry and I quite liked this look. But I forgot which flower it actually was...
Due to the fact that I have a very busy week, I will go for the easy option and do "dried flowers" this week.
Thursday is the last day of school for Yelena and she will leave with Demyan (brother) and Norbert (dad) that same day. Demyan will not come back here as he is going to study in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, so he has some serious packing to do.
I will stay behind mainly for the dogs (and to skip a few pcr-tests) and will travel straight to Houston on July 1st via Amsterdam, where Yelena and Norbert should board the same plane. On the way back we will all stop in the Netherlands to see how Demyan is doing, before returning to Oman.
@louannwarren Seeing Nadya is a little complicated, but it looks now that we will be able to see her!
Nadya will be with Genesis DBC ( https://www.dci.org/corps/genesis) and we were planning on not seeing her at all, because she would be in a strict "Covid-19 bubble". However, she is fully vaccinated and DCI (the organization behind it all) have eased the rules a little.
She will be in Austin and we are probably good to see part of a practice. She has also asked for permission to get time off to see us. It probably will be no more than 1 hour. My friend said that is sounds like visiting a prisoner... but it is what it is and she worked really hard to get a place in a drum corps. So I'm really proud and happy for her!
That sounds like an amazing trip you have planned. I can’t imagine what travelling must be like these days internationally. I hope all goes well for you and your family.
