We started today, Saturday, January 13 with a snow storm. By the time I went for a walk the sun was shining but there was still snow on the tops of cars. Then at the stroke of midnight the fireworks began with a loud bang, followed by many more. They lit up the sky celebrating the New Year by the old calendar. Convenient having two calendars. You get twice as many holidays.
A big shout out to the people who follow me. Unfortunately I’ve had to leave Russia. It became impossible to receive any funds from the US. I am currently living in Batumi, Georgia.
This is my family in the living room of my apartment in Kimovsk, Russia. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran. Seventy six years of age. My son Aleksandr (left), and my granddaughter Dasha (center) look in on me. Here, I had hoped to live out my retirement years.
