Statue to Siberian Women and Birthday dinner

 This is neat statue honoring the women who followed their husbands into exile in Siberia in the Revolution - they brought children and stayed 30 years!  One stayed her whole life and is buried here.
 Amazing - and Irkutsk is over 350 years old - another city in northern Siberia is over 500 years old!
The Women's monument is at the end of this brick walkway in a city park.  The yellow building you can see at the left is a wonderful fabric store and sewing machine repair place!

 Sister Wilcox had a Birthday - and we all went out to dinner to celebrate!  this is the birthday dessert the restaurant had on the menu! Ice cream shake, two donuts, candy, etc.
 Sister Melton - her companion - decided to have the other flavor - chocolate shake, etc. love these volunteers!  and very happy to celebrate with them.
Our District at the moment - a darling trio of sisters and handsome elders - and one old couple!
