CookieCrazie's {Last Three} Week[s] in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

Well......it's been three weeks since I've posted a CookieCrazie Chatter.

The two weeks of our Borislav mission trip were nearly wifi-less.

What little internet we had did not afford photos or things like blog posts.

So I couldn't post updated news during that time.

I'm home now from my 26 day long trip.

I must say....."There is NO place like HOME!"

My trip was fabulous.

So much occurred in the month of June.

In some ways, it feels like a dream.

And my time in England seems like months ago!

I wrote a few blog posts to try to recap the trip.......but it's not super comprehensive.

I just didn't have the energy once I got home to pour a ton into recounting all the events.

But if you are interested, check out my Ukraine blog for more details on my trip.

This week I've been recovering.

Jet lag wasn't too bad.....and I already feel back to normal.

I had to work the Fourth of July holiday.....and then I have to work tomorrow (Sat).

But next week......you can be SURE I'll be doing cookies.

I have a few themes in mind.

I will have gone SEVEN weeks with no cookie decorating.

I am itchin' to get back to it!!!!

Instagram photos for this week:

We are having a fabulous mission trip in Ukraine.

I haven't had wifi for a week....and only have it now for a few minutes.

I wish I could post lots more photos....but no time. :(

We fly home on Friday. I'll catch up then.

I'm in cookie world withdrawal. I miss you all!!!!

People of Ukraine....

I've never had so many berries and cherries in my life.

We came to Ukraine at the perfect time....cherry and berry season.

Mmmmm..... And have you ever had yellow raspberries? Delicious!!

We've had an abundance of desserts these last two weeks. :)

Our team....

After 26 days...flying to Manchester, England to explore the country with Michelle, and see London with my fun tour guide, Stephanie...then flying to L'viv Ukraine and spending sweet time with Nadia and getting to see Ukraine though different eyes....and then traveling to Borislav Ukraine and participating in a women's camp with 75 women and then visiting in 50+ homes and making memories with so many..... I'm heading HOME!
Boy, I can hardly wait to get there!!!

I was originally looking forward to a good American salad when I arrived back in the States tonight. Sadly.....I started with a stomach bug in the middle if our long flight from Munich to Dulles Washington and the only thing that sounded good was a Sprite.
Thankfully I'm feeling a little better after sitting here waiting for our final flight to St. Louis.

I'm home from my England/Ukraine trip and remembering watching strudel
being made through a store front window. :)

Mmmmm..... making cherry juice frozen pops today. :)

Happy Independence Day!
