Happy Birthday, Ausra.
Wish we could all be there to celebrate with you.
On the Road in Lithuania
In August, Darija, Vilija and I set off on a road trip to visit the different orphanages, schools, families and groups that the Daughters of Lithuania support.
The first step was to rent a car that would hold all of the suitcases filled with school supplies, backpacks, winter parkas, vitamins, candies, etc that we brought to distribute. It wasn’t easy to stuff everything in, but we did it. We even managed to carve out a small spot for Vilija in the back seat.
That job took most of the morning and finally we set off on our road trip to Paparciai, Kaunas, Siauliai, Smalininkai, and finally Rumbonys.
That first day we got our first glimpse of the amazing cloud filled skies of Lithuania. Each day was more beautiful than the last, and of course I took hundreds of pictures of just clouds.
I will post a few of those photos later.

Last week a group from Paparciai went to Birstonas.
They walked through the woods and enjoyed the fall colors, then visited the “Kings Residence” where they learned to bake very special treats. At the end of the day they were even able to take a dip in the pool!
This very special outing was possible thanks to the generosity of the Daughters of Lithuania, Los Angeles.

Šiandien buvome Birštone, pasivaikščiojome po rudenišką miestą, apsilankėme Karališkoje rezidencijoje, kur gaminome keksiuką dryžių ir gavome jaunesniojo karališkojo konditerio kvalifikaciją.O po sunkaus darbo mūsų laukė atokvėpis -vandens pramogos.Ačiū Lietuvos dukterims iš Los Angelo, kurių dėka mes galėjome taip papromogauti:)
