| This building cracks me up! The entire building is covered in vertical hanging strings of lights. It's a popular thing to do around here... |
Ice skating season has begun!
And of course, we must get donuts and hot chocolate afterwards!
 |
| My parents made this darling quilt for us! I love it so much!! |

| This is a 5 lane street. Right after the wall on the right, there is a right turn. The two lanes on the right are the turn lanes. But, everyone uses the third lane as a right turn lane as well. Never mind that there are only 2 lanes to turn into. The third row, just cuts in front of everyone else. |

| When you pay at a register, they refuse to take the money out of your hand and refuse to put your change in your hand. They put it in this little tray. Every register has one. If by some freak of nature a counter is built without one, they put a dish out. I find it secretly funny to just hold my money out and not put it in the tray. They whole time the cashier is pointing to the tray and I pretend I don't know what she is talking about and I lay it down somewhere else. I have to find joy where I can. |
An interesting thing about Russian license plates, there are no letters that are unique to the Cyrillic alphabet For example ф ш ж ю, these are all letters that are not used in the English alphabet, are never found on their license plates.
I was at the store the other day, killing time, and I wandered past the magazine rack and I found it curious that the magazine names are in English but the rest of the magazine is in Russian. Why not put the magazine name in the Russian alphabet too??
I thought this was funny because some words in Russian can be sounded out in English. This can of corn looks like an English word but it is actually pronounced Naparew. It is funny how we sometimes try sounding out an English word in Russian and sometimes we see Russian words and read them in English.
Metro
This is metro Komsomolskya. It is AMAZING!! I was out looking for a new craft store and this was the metro stop I got off on. Can you believe the beauty and detail put into this station??? The pictures are all mosaics! It is truly breathtaking!
 |
| Check out these stairs!! This is in the building where the craft store is. They are metal and amazing! |
 |
| A great cross stitch find at the craft store, $10. For $10 you can have hours of enjoyment while stitching this fabric porn. I have a great cross stitch of Putin but, for some reason or another, I am unable to download it onto the computer. Hmmm. |
Hat or Hair?

Activity Day boys. We covered journals with Duct tape and talked about our ancestors. They also planned a party and for refreshments the wanted Root beer floats and Warheads. I'm not sure parents loved it!
