Nothing says welcome to America more than people hawking certificate covers for $10 as you approach the ceremony and $5 as you leave.
You are not officially a citizen until you are sworn in. We all attended Grecia's swearing in ceremony today at the Pomona Fairplex. It was a fine, warm California day and since we left half an hour late it was a true Russian that got us there on time. There were 300+ new citizens and the ceremony was short and well done. So, he's in! He is now an 'Americanitz' instead of a 'Rooskie'. His first English word was "dude" so he has come full circle. Congratulations, Grecia.

A hearty CONGRATULATIONS to our new citizen. (He probably knows more now than most high school students do about our history) Proud of you Grecia!! ...Bonnie
I like Pasha's t-shirt. Very fitting for the occasion. I also like his monster face in the In-n-out burger photo. -Tommy
