Tinkers island

The story “Tinkers Island” by Stephen Rabley is about a teenage girl Jenny Tinker with her father Sam Tinker, who falsely accused of theft…

The story “Tinkers Island” shows that life is changeable and that we must know as cope with difficult situations…

It’s a nice story about a good relationship between two family's members the father and his daughter who tried to help her father.

This story teaches us to love our relatives. As Ulyana Smirnova wrote in her blog: “ Love your family and help each other every days!”.

Easter is a promise

God renews to us in each spring.

May the promise of Easter

fill your heart with peace & joy!

Happy Easter!

Our travelling

I went to Novograd-Volynsky last August with my husband and our sons, Kiril and Oleksa. We went by Kiril’s car.

We stayed for two days in a small hotel “Leon” in a center of city. 

During day we walked around the Novograd-Volynsky. The town is best known as a birth place of Lesya Ukrainka, famous Ukrainian writer. We went in The Lesya Ukrainka Museum and the Kosachs Museum. We walked in the The Old Fortness, near The Town Bell and The Monument to Lesya Ukrainka.  We took a lot of photos. At night we met with our friends and went together to restaurant Ukrainian foods.

We had a great time. Novograd-Volynsky is a small and beautiful city with interesting history. Also this city is place where my husband grew and learned. 

About famous statue of Adam Mickiewicz

I want to tell about famous statue of Adam Mickiewicz in my native town Ivano-Frankivsk.

Adam Mickiewicz is regarded as a national poet of Poland, Lithuania and Belarus and as Poland's greatest poet.

The monument to Adam Mickiewicz in Ivano-Frankivsk was opened on November 20^th, 1898. The opening was dated for the anniversary from the poet’s date of birth.

The monument is made of Italian marble. It’s the work of sculptor Tadeusha Blotnitsky. The work on monument creation began in Florence in 1881.

Originally the figure of the poet was executed from the white marble. The words of the Polish language were minted on the pedestal: “Adamowi Mickiewiczowi w setną rocznicę urodzin – obywateli miasta Stanisławowa 1898 rok.” (“to Adam Mickiewicz in centenary anniversary of his birth – citizens of Stanislavov. 1898”).

During the First World War the monument was damaged. In 1930 the figure of the poet was cast from bronze, the pedestal got more accurate geometrical forms. In 1940 the Polish board on the pedestal was replaced by the new one: “Adam Mickiewicz, 1798-1855”.

The statue of Adam Mickiewicz is situated in Adam Mickiewicz’s Square.

ABOUT ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. 

He was born February 12, 1809, in Hodgenville, Hardin County, Kentucky. Abraham Lincoln came from humble beginnings. He had very little formal education, but had a strong interest in books and learning. He soon moved into politics and won a seat in the Illinois Legislature when he was 25. 

Lincoln served on the Illinois State Legislature for several terms. During that time he studied the law and began to work as a lawyer. He ran for the U.S. Congress in 1845.

In 1860, Lincoln ran for President of the United States. He was a member of the fairly new Republican party.

On January 1, 1863 Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. This was an order that freed the slaves in the Confederate States.

Lincoln is most famous for leading the country during the American Civil War. His leadership in the North helped the country to remain strong and defeat the South keeping the country united. He also pushed for the freedom of all slaves throughout the nation. 

President Abraham Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. and died the next day on April 15, 1865.
