The Claw

As we begin to prepare for our big move, we are faced with the challenge of what we will take and what we will leave behind. For some reason, this issue always makes me think of that part in 'Toy Story'- about the claw. The claw chooses who will go and who will stay. Below is a link to that particular clip if you need to have your memory refreshed or have never had the enlightening opportunity to see this masterpiece:

So, we would LOVE your input about what you would take with you if you were moving overseas and had limited space. Let's say clothes, shoes, and the baby are non-negotiable. What else are must-haves??? Please leave a comment, send an e-mail, or tell us in person. We would appreciate the input :)

A brief look at where Ukraine is located on planet Earth.

This is Ukraine (above). We will be living in the western-most city of Uzhhorod. It is a 5-hour train ride east of Budapest, Hungary.



This is where Ukraine is located within Europe (above). The city of Uzhhorod is very close to Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and Poland.

These are some street pics. As you can see, very cool architecture.

A very common sight in the villages surrounding the city and on the main roads leading to the city. All home grown and priced VERY reasonably.

I remember one place we stopped at last May where Mike bought a plastic grocery bag FULL of red cherries for about $1 or $2!

Now, I will finish my homework: A review of recent scientific journal articles pertaining to the topic of new advancements in rehabilitation of patients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.
