The Tiny Russian Village where we have a home… WtR

I guess I am getting old sometimes. I wake on a Monday and find myself humming the “MAMAS AND THE PAPAS” song, Monday Monday… 1966 is the first time I heard this song and it rocketed the Mamas and the Papas to the top. Every Monday you could hear everyone going to work and school […]

The Tiny Russian Village… Have lots to do today. Got to weed the garden… Just some images of the Tiny Russian Village… WtR
