Hey there, It's been long since I posted last time.  The early April was bright and sunny with the Easter Day and Palm Sunday also bright and beautiful Below there are some pics about these days with Stepan. Marina and the Donskoi monastery: The late April was also sunny and bright. I had my girls sent to the exam CAE and it was great as in the current military situation in Russia this was really hard to realize. In the late April we flew to our beloved Turkey (Kemer Beldibi). We love mountains and the sea there. However, the best news of April was Dimochka, Michael and Lena's trip to Mather Anna and after that Olia's, Yanochka's, Kai's and David's visit to Mother Anna. It was so good of my American nearest and dearest!!! Mother Anna was happy to see them all. Now, many hugs and kisses to all of you. We miss you all!!!

Hey there, After having traveled to Vladimir, I got terribly sick with an awful skin disease - shingles. It's very painful and long. I took many kinds of medication but it still disturbs me, especially at night. But I do hope I'll get rid of it soon. I think I got it at the sauna in my fitness club (overheating). We go to dacha every Thursday and get back on Monday. At dacha, we rest and cook khachapuri and other tasty things. Hugs and kisses to all of you. I miss you and remember all of you.

Hey there.  Here we are, back in Moscow. Many things happened over this time. I'll tell you about them in turns on the 13th of Deceber we went to the huge concert hall - 'Crocus City Hall' to see the new year performance of our leading Russian stars. It was great, even though it was a present (tickets) from out friends from Switzerland and we didn't expect it'd be so good. Here are some pics: On the 23d of December we flew to Emirates (Dubai) to see Olia and the kids who flew there on 22d from the USA. It was great fun to be together after so long beingso  far away from each other. on the 31 of December we celebrated New Year 2023 at the hotel's beach that was arranged as a big stage with tables and screens. It was great and we waited till 24:00 (Duba's NY). Moscow NY was on 23:00 local time.  Before leaving (on January 4), Olia and kids took part in safari park camel adventure. It was amazing!! Slav and I decided to refrain. All was good, but on our arrival...
