What a weekend indeed! My friend Shant's parents are here visiting. I am just as close to his parents as I am to him so it is wonderful to have them. Friday night we went to dinner to Monte Cristo and it was so nice. With Arthur away I finally got to sing along to RABIZ songs without getting reprimanded for being ANJASHAK. It was nice to be with Uncle Vahik and Auntie Alice and watch them enjoying Armenia. They both work so hard they never get to be here as much as they want to. With only two weeks of vacation a year they always choose Armenia as their destination. I love that.

Saturday was a lazy one spent doing a lot of nothing. I went to Arthur's sisters house and we just hung out and talked and laughed and I made my famous GARMIR PILAF.

Sunday was yet another baptism from abroad brought here. The baby was beautiful and the baptism was in Saghmosavank, a monestary that I helped rebuild. The reception followed and we had fun dancing. The most fun however was in the mini-bus a bunch of us had rented for the trip. We sang songs and enjoyed the nature.

Arthur returns in three days and I almost can't wait any longer. Ozzie and I really miss him.

Oh by the way since Ozzie is starting school this week I decided to send her away to relax for the weekend. She went to the village with my in-laws and had a nice weekend. She is now back and rested and waiting to start training. (ozzie is my six month old golden retriever who i am waiting to take a picture of so i can post it... i need a friend with a digital camera)
