Are you Ukrainian? I have a dear friend who is and he specializes in Ukrainian history. He is from the Chicago area also. Love the description of the cake and the honeymoon "souvenir!"

Lisa, of course. By the way, I haven't been able to comment on your blog. IT says I am spam.
Have fun with the meme!
Okay, Lisa, nevermind about the commenting thing ~ I just followed your profile and found your new digs. I'll update the sidebar soon.
