My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996.
I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future.
I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life.
As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.

Sunday night alone, my friend has gone to visit Oxford, cold weather, I’m saving on the heating, I’ve had bad health and I don’t feel like cooking and make do with a bowl of Cheerios. Then I find your cooking/baking page, super close-ups, so close I could take a bite, oh cruel world. But, oh well another one of your talents, nice.

That’s one of the well-known deficiencies of the internet and all of the web-based communications: you can’t smell, and you can’t taste, the only worse is that you can’t hug and kiss over facetime :). But I can send you some Christmas cookies. I will announce my Missis Clause campaign pretty soon. I sent cookies all over the world, including Japan and New Zealand:)
