Plunge and Scrub




We are having a fun Russian Easter. Went and found a basketball hoop, took the new ball and played three games. Got quite a few stares out the buildings on either side, kids stopping and watching. Don't think they play too much ball, or could have been the english talk.




Nice day here, actually Glo knows a person here in Khab, and called him finally a few minutes ago. He and his family aare coming 'right over' as they said they knew we were to be here and waiting our call. So that will be interesting. (thanks for connecting us with Fiodor, Karen) They have actually been to Petersburg visiting, so will be fun to know someone 'local' here.




You know what is a nice luxury? A clothes dryer. It is plunge and scrub in the shower, which is no big deal, but then ringing them out and drying them on lines strung all over is interesting. Kaia is getting the hang of it, though. Laura Ingals in the making here. Today she actually put on a big dress she made from the curtains, put her hair up in a bun, and is trying to catch a stray chicken for dinner. Quite a sight to behold. Plunge and Scrub, Baby.




Better go-sounds like she's caught the chicken and yelling for her knife and a cigarette.
