Rather than sitting on the "cold" concrete wall(it was 85 degrees outside), they grabbed a piece of metal, put it on the bench and then sat down. Isn't the metal ALSO cold??Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848295248016083691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11096572.post-38859420024969876952009-09-06T04:48:08.360+03:002009-09-06T04:48:08.360+03:00Hilarious about the drafts.

When we rented a flat above an old Ukrainian Baba a few years ago, she was always chastising my husband about not wearing a sweater or a coat or whatever, because he was going to catch his death. :)<br />RebeccaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11096572.post-45756714683249307422009-09-06T03:18:49.431+03:002009-09-06T03:18:49.431+03:00I don't mean to hog the comments today, but I ...I don't mean to hog the comments today, but I can't help it!<br /><br />I'm remembering our harvest celebration experience in Krasnodar, Russia. The church was absolutely bursting with produce, flowers, greenery... Every possible surface was overflowing with the plenty of the season. <br />I've never seen anything as beautiful as this in all my Thanksgiving celebrations in North America!<br /><br />And, to top it off, the choir of local church where we participated in the celebration, sang the Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah, by Handel. Stunningly beautiful!<br /><br />Thanks for giving me cause to reflect on some beautiful times, Phyllis.<br /><br />Blessings to you and your family.<br /><br />JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587301245825702759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11096572.post-64396699358220956222009-09-06T03:12:35.534+03:002009-09-06T03:12:35.534+03:00When I lived in Russia 15 years ago, my dear neigh...When I lived in Russia 15 years ago, my dear neighbour would panic when I'd answer the door with bare or stocking feet. Apparently it could lead to internal problems, possibliy infertility? Once we figured out the depth of her concern, we made it policy that when there was a knock on the door of the flat, my Dear Man would slowly move to answer the door, while I would race to the bedroom to grab my slippers! <br /><br />I love the story of inviting in the dedushka to the celebration! What wonderful examples our children are to us, don't you find?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587301245825702759noreply@blogger.com
