April 4th
We are always teasing Sergey about his “non smartphone”, Lewis had
to use it for a call today and said it didn’t feel like he even had a phone in
his hand it was so small. Ahhhhh, the
blessings of technology and smartphones!!!
We decided that this would be a great way to share our experiences while we are in Russia by showing "At Least One Picture A Day." We hope you enjoy your part of this adventure with us.
April 3 Not sure if you can "handle" this one......
April 3rd
Today at the dairy we gathered up feed from different areas to
test it, and I just couldn’t help but make a bunch of “hands” jokes………..
Can you give me “a hand” with this microwave?????
What a “handy man” Lewis is to have around!!!!
Lots of concentrating going on here………..
April 2 Don't Peek......
April 2nd
Close to the office is a “Russian Sauna”……..get really hot
inside the sauna and go where it is cold to “shock” your body, so we are told
anyway……..I looked out the window today and this is what I saw outside of the
sauna……….
April 1 APRIL FOOLS DAY
April 1st
It IS April 1st and people DO play April Fool’s
jokes, BUT this is not a funny joke…….today is supposed to get into the 40’s
and I highly doubt that will happen.
This is how it looked outside when we got up in the morning –
One hour later –
Two hours later –
Four hours later –
Very messy roads today from several inches of very heavy, wet
snow -
High Temp for the day -
March 31 MORE SNOW???
March 31st
This last day of March we woke up to several inches of
new snow. BUT the prospects of that long
awaited temperature of 40 degrees or above looks like it is just around the
corner…………..like, maybe today?
March 30 It is, as my dad would say, a "hunker down" kind of day!!!
March 30th
It is a very cold and snowy, stay in the apartment kind of
Saturday. So glad that we don’t have to
go out today. BUT, tomorrow’s forecast
is looking good……………..
March 29 Last chance for the frozen lake pictures
March 29th
Last night there was a beautiful and eerie sight in the
sky. A storm was coming in and the
contrast of a full moon and moving clouds was very interesting to us. There are some figures that can be seen in
these clouds I believe, but I will allow your imagination to see what you see
and not what we see.
Several days ago a couple of pictures were posted showing
people walking across the frozen river but they were not real clear due to the
fact that I took them while in a moving car.
We had to run some errands and had the opportunity to walk onto this
bridge that we usually only drive across.
Not sure how much longer this river will be frozen enough for people to
walk across so this may be my last opportunity this winter to get these
pictures.
When we got back to the apartment several kids were outside
having a snowball fight, also had built a couple of snowmen.
March 28 The "bag" ladies!!!
March 28th
When
we go to the store for groceries we bring our “Wal Mart” canvas bags with
us. There is a lady who is at the
entrance to the store and you have to give her the bags and they are sealed up
in a blue bag. Then when you are done paying
for the groceries you take the bags out and put the groceries into them. This is an interesting process. Other stores have lockers outside of them for
you to leave shopping bags in because they don’t want you taking them into the
store.
This
is the lady that is usually the one who works there –
But
we have seen these two ladies occasionally but not often!!!
