Happy Independence Day!

As I sit here, thankful for Lithuania's independence (for many reasons, ranging from patriotic to selfish), I am inspired to catch up on some blog posts. However, I don't want to overwhelm you, so I will do them one at a time (instead of one massive one). This will also allow me to catch up on some housekeeping (write a blog, wash a dish, post a picture, clean the bathroom, etc). The whole time, there will be a mixture of Lithuanian Independence Day festivities and Olympics on the TV, so hopefully I will subconsciously pick up on some more of the Lithuanian language. All in all, a very productive day.

For the first post, before I go start some laundry, I will start with a picture of the ever-shortening paper chain.
