This is Assiya from Kazakhstan...where Petey flies to on a regular basis! I've NEVER met anyone from Kazakhstan and was super excited to meet her at Lauren and Paul's house this afternoon.She was SO gracious in answering my many questions...so interesting and intelligent and friendly! I feel very privileged to have met her and had the chance to hear more about her country.
She was 8 years old when the USSR ceased to exist and her country was independent for the first time in hundreds of years. I kept trying to wrap my brain around all the changes that she's seen in her life so far.
I was also struck by her beauty. Petey has often told me about how gorgeous the women are in that part of the world. I can certainly see why he'd think that = ))
She looks a little damp because we tried to take a walk after supper and got caught in another rain shower. I hope I have another opportunity to visit with A again but she may not be wishing for the same thing...HA!
I'm also thankful for all the wonderful rain we got today! This was the most vibrant rainbow I've ever seen...the picture was taken through the car window which is tinted so you can imagine how brilliant the colors were. Should've rolled the window down! hahahaha It was also a double rainbow, which I discovered once I started moving again and couldn't take a picture. I took this one while I was sitting at the stop light.
And then I turned on to Clay Road and this was the sight that greeted me...my oh my...a cell phone picture doesn't do it justice! Sure do love me a purty sunset...
