Okay, so it's not really water. It's ice. But, you get the idea. I finally captured a man on the solidly frozen river going ice-fishing! I only had my iphone with me.

School was back in session today (was it bad I was hoping for another snow day?). I felt like I was in high school again...waiting for "Norman Public Schools" to scroll across the bottom of the tv. Incidentally, when schools here close, I think it's solely a word of mouth type thing. Maybe a hand-written sign on the door.
Last week when schools were cancelled, Olena asked me if I wanted to go buy some hot dogs or cottage cheese for cheap. I politely said no thank you (two things I hate...not to mention I couldn't buy hot dogs for my doggies because they freeze in my fridge). After she was gone, I realized why she was asking me that {very odd} question. School #4 (literally how schools are named here) sits right next door to my work. Because the cafeteria had already purchased food for the week but they were having to cancel school, the food would be bad by Monday when school resumed. Olena came back very excited to have hot dogs for her doggie and cottage cheese to accompany her blinchiki (crepe-like food).
The sun was shiny and made my walk to work quite pleasant. I tested out my ski jacket for my upcoming ski trip at the end of this week!!!!!!! Words can't explain how excited I am to shoop down the mountain. You can guess what this weeks way-back-Wednesday post will be about... :)
Hope nobody had a case of the Monday's. Toodles!
Words of the day:
on time--вовремя
during--во время
Is is just me or do those words look ridiculously similar? It's all about accent marks in Russian.

Yes, it's all about putting the em-PHAS-is on the right syl-LABLe.
Love, Pops
I would love to have some of that rectangular sausage pizza with the orange sauce that I ate all through my school lunch career. Not too excited about hot dogs or cottage cheese, though.
