The weather has been absolutely gorgeous since we got here. Sunny and warm every day, a big change from the rainy weather we left back in New England. Perfect weather for the airshow!
Sunday morning in the Ukrainian Village is pretty quiet except for the occasional church bells. We are surrounded by multiple Catholic churches, and all offer masses in Ukrainian, English and Spanish. Jessica has been thinking about attending mass in order to get friendly with some elderly Ukrainians so she can photograph their homes. Ajay and I suggested that she should attend Thursday night bingo, but Jessica pointed out that it would probably be all in Ukrainian. Anyway, You can check out Jessica's photography here.
Tomorrow Jessica and I are planning to go out to Ikea and we're very excited. We need shelves, lots and lots of shelves. Our Chicago apartment is a little smaller than our Portland apartment and we need more storage. Besides the lack of storage, the new apartment has many amendities that our old apartment was lacking.
First of all, we have a dishwasher! I know that probably sounds crazy but this is my first apartment with a dishwasher, can you believe it? We also have a small back porch with a screen door off of our kitchen. It really cools off the apartment and the cats love looking out the door.
One more thing...My sister Jackie asked me how to make photo slideshows. I use an image hosting site called Photobucket. You just upload your photos to thier site and they generate the html codes so then you can post your photos on your blog, myspace, facebook, etc. Very handy.
