It takes a lot out of this Country Boy Bear, to deal with Moscow. I love the city. It is safe and cozy, but it is so busy… I mean there are more people standing on the stairway going outside than we ever have total in the village. It is a cultural shock to go […]
Last year I found two perfect tires for the front of the car. They cost about a 1000 rubles each and we finally got them put on. It is time to hit the road back to Moscow and I am getting the car ready for the trip. We then went to the Big Village and […]
It is nice in the Tiny Russian Village when Svetochka is here. She helps me with the 24 hour a day care of Boza and walks him for me. He is a full time job with his eyes gone and you have to live with one eye on him at all times. You are his […]
Bear and Boza dance, dance and dance. Then I looked at the news and simply thought, “How stupid everything is!” Well not everything and that is why Boza and I chose to dance and get ready for Svetochka… Svetochka is the greatest girl in the world and we miss her. So it is time to […]
Every morning Ralph the Raven follows us around as we walk the valley. This morning it was very dark, but Ralph was calling us from his perch on top the telephone pole. Boza was all excited, but as life has pits in it, he could not see Ralph. But Boza could hear him and started […]

The Tiny Russian Village is very far out from the world. So to go to town is something we plan. Vova has to get his gun permit that he applied for and today he was told to pick it up. We will leave between 10 and 11 a.m. This will be a hard trip, for […]
Snow is saying goodbye! Boza and I are walking the whole Tiny Russian Village again and taking pictures. It is nice to be able to walk and not sink up to your waist in snow. But, it is raining and raining now… Just an image day! I am cooking pork chops and Boza is stuck […]
Snowing and snowing! The ground is covered again, but since the temperature is right at freezing, the snow will go fast. (?) I hope… Game plan… I have to leave Russia. This is when I do my outside business in the rest of the world. Since I have to leave every six months for a […]
Vova doing what Vova does best… Making a life out of what you have on hand… Fish smoking time and they are just perfectly yummy… WtR
