Snow

ChopChop LOVES the snow!!!  We go for a long walk and when we get back, she runs and runs laps around the yard!  I throw something for her to fetch and when she fetches it,
she just keeps on running!!  Usually it’s dark, but today we went out earlier (b/c of the winter storm warning) so I could snap some pics.  I bought her this reflective vest and a blinker
so the cars can see us.  Pictures……

Throw the squirrel!

Russia - Finally Arrived


Hi!

We are finally here. Left Atlanta on time, then there was plane trouble,

so we spent about four hours on the ground at JFK and they finally

transferred everything to another plane–even the food, plastic cups,

etc.

All done at the famous “remote location” out there on the fringes. So

we arrived late. We were lucky. T-Mobile works, Joyce sent e-mail to

the B&B about the delay, the taxi guy was right there, and we are settled.

B&B is very comfortable, and it appears we have the whole place to

ourselves. No luxury, but we have heat, clean bathroom, kitchen with

breakfast stuff, and–most important–the key code for the entry. If

any of you plan to come over and use this place, you do need phone

access to contact the guys that you are at the metro station or

standing in front of the door.

Not terribly cold yet, but there is ice all over the place. Moskva has

changed remarkably in the time we have not been back–incredible

building, expansion, etc. Every car dealership you can think of, all

along the road in from the airport. IKEA is no longer out there by

itself–a MegaMall has sprouted around it.

More later–must figure out how things work, head for a coffee place

and figure out the concert for tonight.
