                                                          DAY AT TSARITSYNO PARK

When I was at the park of Catherine the Great I saw 29 brides.  One of the dresses was my favorite.  The dress was white with a pink belt-like-thing tied around her waist and a little bow in the middle of the belt.  I also liked how it was really tight and then it got looser and looser as the dress went down.  Her top was a bustier style where the ties criss-crossed in back.  There was also a very fancy gold dress that I liked. It looked very Russian.  She wore a gold slip-dress with a white dress overlay.  She had a fur stole around her shoulders, and everything white was trimmed in gold.  It was a beautiful spot for them to take pictures and fun to keep counting them all day.

Smokey is a gray and white kitty with a multicolored nose.  He is a stray cat at our apartment building.  My friend told me that in the winter the guards take him home and give him love and warmness.  My other friend Monet and I found him eating garbage out of the dumpster.  I told my family that we needed cat food and now whenever I see him I feed him.  We call him Smokey because of his gray fur.  It's not like having my own kitty but I still give him love and snuggles.
