Twelve years ago, I received a pilgrimage tour as a prize for journalistic activity. She was at the time pregnant with the fourth child, and as if the trip was covered with a copper pelvis. Do not miss the good!
She called the cousin (the baptismal father of the eldest son), there the whole family is in church, asked - maybe they need it.
He immediately thought, and to his wife:
Can I send your mother?
- So she has no money, and still need to spend on the little things - souvenirs there, eat on the road...
Not a problem!
She recruits a maid:
Do you want to go free at sea?
He wants, by himself. But there is no money.
He takes the test:
- Dad, do you want to send my mom Galle to Solovki for free?
That humorous man whispered straight into the phone.
That’s how Galla’s mother went...to the sea...for free...in October, it seems...
But I was not upset, to be honest, very happy returned, and brought me an elegant photo album about Valaam... :D
