Long day yesterday! Spent hours in the Big Village helping to get the Volga mostly done. It still needs several hours of work, but it is work not related to the new engine. The work to be done is little things to make the car better all the way around… Drove home last night and […]
I have a delicious cup of coffee and a few thoughts to get off my chest. +1 Centigrade this morning and the sky is clear. Not sure it will stay that way, but a day without rain would be nice. Boza and I got up at 2:30 a.m. and walked for an hour in the […]
My home; Zarya Svobody and or Dawn of Freedom (or better yet,) The Tiny Russian Village… Just a recap of some of the many images that I have taken… This Tiny Russian Village, as I call it; Sunrise to Freedom. Is my freedom and it, plus my Svetochka, have saved my soul. I have grown, […]
The Tiny Russian Village is getting less people all the time. I am all alone on the bottom side and so the wells are staying fuller than when the village is fuller. Therefore, it has been three days since filling the wells. But, I am filling them this morning. Boza and I got up late, […]

Svetochka takes pictures constantly. This is a few she left on the desktop of the computer. So I posted them… Boza (who has lots of pictures of him) and I seem to be in front of her camera all the time. 🙂 We were mushroom hunting and we found a whole bag full of delicious […]
The stove is probably the most important item for winter in the village home. That is assuming that your roof is sound, your walls still standing and no one has made huge holes through the house like Swiss Cheese. The stove is what heats your home, cooks your food and boils your water for coffee […]
