In Milwaukee

everyday life 1 Minute

Last Sunday, I was in Milwaukee visiting Anna’s family. There was no particular reason for this visit except that I really missed everyone. I didn’t see Anna since Labor Day, and I didn’t see everyone else since the Theater camp in August.

The weather was gorgeous and really warm and summer-like until later in the afternoon. In the morning, Nadia had the last soccer game of the season, and after lunch, we got on the bikes. Anna on her cargo bike with Kira, me on Anna’s friend’s bike, Kira’s friend on her bike, plus Nadia on her bike on the way back.

The girls didn’t slow us down a bit and biked at 13 mph all the way, and all the way back (4 miles each way). I was super impressed. And it was so nice to be in nature.

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.
