Grocery shopping

I was quite pleased with myself after my first solo trip to the grocery store.  I hiked to the larger one a little ways away through a blizzard and uphill both ways...no, ok it was just snowing lightly and I don't think there were any hills.

All this for $36!!  What a steal! 

I was all excited about my successful trip, cooking a yummy dinner--pancakes and bacon-the kids were bathed and excitied and I thought yes, we can live in Russia!  When all of a sudden, a big, burly, Russian entered our apartment.  He just walked on in.

Apparently I set off the silent smoke alarms.
