Sveta and I (and Boza of course) are getting things together on this last day in the village. It makes me kinda sad and I really do not want to leave. But we have things to get caught upon at home in Moscow and since it is a new school year in Russia. I have […]
Moscow is celebrating its 864th birthday. Historians assume that the city is actually much older, but the first recorded mention of Moscow dates back to 1147. Despite floods, fires and invasions, the city grew and developed. During the next few years, Moscow will more than double its territory to 251,000 hectares and may soon emerge […]
One of the things that I love about the village as I loved about living in the country all my life is really something very simple and easy. It is something that is such a pleasure and so easy to overlook. It is something that city people never see because of the glow from the […]
Interesting discovery of a verification of a fact that was known. But as with all facts they are ignored by the scared masses of humans who hide in their homes… The documents revealing the links of CIA with the Libyan intelligence have been found in Tripoli, the New York Times reports.

Today that cup of chicory was perfect and with it was lots of thinking’s. So I decided to post some pictures of what has happened the last few days… First is a sign to the entrance of the Fish Farm that our village is located inside of. 1933 is when it was built and it […]
This morning I was sipping that cup of chicory. While I was enjoying that cup of chicory I was doing some thinking’s. I was thinking about sunflowers and a reservoir that Sveta, Boza and I stumbled upon yesterday…Lets start with the reservoir. In Russia you do not have signs everywhere telling you what is here […]
Sveta yelled yesterday from the yard at the village house. I ran out to see what was up and found Sveta and Boza hugging a tree and a bad attitude snake being very aggressive with them. It seems that Boza heard the snake first as it crawled toward Sveta as she was reading. Sveta knew […]
I just think that this church is one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen. They have been working on fixing it back up and I am glad because these are the parts of the past that need to be saved. The walls of a church like this are a meter thick of […]
Sunday the day we rest and go to the market. We will not work today, but we will load up on veggies and fruits from the market. We also always buy socks and other clothes at the market. Every Sunday in Sarai a big village near our tiny little village, they have a huge market […]
That cup of chicory is always better in the village. Today was no different and thinking’s always go with a good hot cup of beverage. Today those thinking’s have settled around Shashlik (шашлык), Real Pepsi and that Fence… Even though I am diabetic, I had to try the real Russian Pepsi Cola. In Russia we […]
