bearshortyMy head was still not 100% but it got better with getting some air. Papa and I went to Brooklyn while Mama had a work thing. First we went to Brighton Beach (the Russian area in New York) We went to a Russian bookstore since Papa needed a birthday present for a friend and I kind of started Christmas shopping. I do love that store. And then I ended up in children’s section and bought a little book for Galya for when I see her next. She is only five month old but you are never too young for books. I got her “Masha and the Bear” story and it is made for very young children with thick glossy little pages. I will so spoil that kid. After the bookstore we went to the Russian supermarket and I got a cabbage pastry – it was so good.
Then we went to visit my grandmother at the rehab place. She is finally going home on Monday. We got her a treat at the store too which she really liked. And we stopped by to see my grandfather on the way home. He is happy grandma is coming home. They have been married for more than fifty-five years and were together for almost sixty years now. As he says – he gets bored with no one to fight and bicker with.
On the way home I realized that “Fast Five” was out on DVD and I had Papa drop me off at a Redbox to get it. After some deliberation I just rented it. And I watched it in the evening. It was a lot of fun. I liked that many characters from previous movies play a large role and the stunts were as crazy and silly as usual. These movies are not really about acting or plot but they are really enjoyable silly fun and I’m glad I finally watched them. And lots of guys with big muscles are fun to watch.
The marathon on Sunday and the blocked bridge offered a nice solution to Bear and me. Bear just came over in the very late evening. Both of us were reading our Kindles before going to sleep – how far we come with technology. Even six month ago neither of us wanted one. But since I got mine as a present and Bear read “Hunger Games” on mine during our vacation and decided he wanted one, Kindle is now part of our reading lives. He is reading the classics – he just finished “Tom Sawyer” and is now on “Huckleberry Finn” and I was at the last parts of “The Hobbit.”
