My own short story.

It was a simple day for her. She and her relatives were together again. Family was very big, millions or more members. They lived in different places, on medow, trees, land, cars, roof of the house, weeds which grow in the garden, new number of magazine, and even library books.

Their great travel began from sky and clouds. At the beginning they were simple nature weather phenomenon. For several hours family could see, many, many interesting things. How people running for bus, grannies walking with their grandchildren, fool kitten fear his own aflection in mirror, in window somebody watching with sadness eyes on this family.

Many of them vanish for great travel or staying on human feet with shoes. Family feeling stern stare of person, graciousnees voice of baby, where each had a personality vanished forever... Simple melt on March spring warm sun...

It was short story about last snowflake on one year.

Latvia.

I was in this country for about twelve hours. My family and me stayed in Riga airport between our flights.

When we entered the airport we wanted to be in the other part of building but we couldn't go there. So my family and me stayed in small part of Riga airport. In cafe we ate food. Several hours later I felt tired.

In the evening cafe was closed. We slept on hard chairs without pillows and blankets. Also we walked in this airport. It seemed that we were in this place alone. But in airport were two men.

At early morning we flew  by plane. I was very hungry and tired. But now I know enough about Latvia.

Several years ago I read that Latvia was "the most unhappy country in the world". These words were partly true.

I think that I will remember hours in Riga for the rest of my life.

"The White House".

In the capital of the United States Washington, DC, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very individual address. It is the White House, the home of the president of the USA.

At the beginning the White House was grey and called the Presidental Palace. It was built during eight years (from 1792-1800). At that time, the capital Washington, was built too.

The first president of America George Washington never lived in the Presidental Palace. The first president who lives there was John Adams, the second president USA president. His wife Mrs. Adams didn't really like her new house. She often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.

In 1812 the USA and Britain went on war. In 1814 the British invaded to Washington. They distroyed the Presidental Palace.

After the war, the architect, rebuilt the president's home. It was painted in white.

In 1901 this building became known as the "White House".

Today it has reception and dining room, for the president and his family.

Tourists can visited the White House only in several rooms. Because they don't want to disturb the president.

Father's Day.

On the third Sunday of June (June 21st this year) the USA celebrates Father's Day. At first this holiday was celebrated in 1910.

On this day, families which have dads congratulate male parents. Also in shops, appear cards with pictures of tie. On them, kind words about Fathers are written.

Mother and Father are both very important parents for children. So, calendar has two great holidays Mother's and Father's Day.

On this holiday you can make cards or/and write good poem about your daddy. Talk with him. Spend your free time in cinema on your and your Father's favourite movie. Help him in hard work.

Other countries also celebrate Father's Day but somewhere in other dates. Example, in Russia Father's Day is celebrated on February 23. This holiday is also called Defender of the Fatherland Day. Children congratulate dads and other men and boys.

But you must remember that you always must love your parents independent from day in calendar.
