The Tiny Russian Village Monastery is getting a new roof put on the building they use as a church. These are the guys who shoveled their way to the village the other day…

-10 below zero and they work. Drink lots of hot tea and work…

Svetochka comes tonight. We are not sure about how she will get from the train station to here yet? But Plan A is Vova and I will go get her in his Niva. Plan B is Someone can bring her to the walk bridge at our river and I meet her on foot. Plan C is I walk to meet her at the main highway and she definitely can get to that spot… (Plan C is one rough trip!)

No matter what we will get her here to the Tiny Russian Village…

Boza and I are excited…

Our most favorite girl in the whole wide world is coming and she said someone from Britain sent me a package. I wonder what it is?
