WooooHoooooo. Late yesterday we cleared customs. So after our big breakfast of ground fish balls in stroganoff sauce, potato pancakes, which were yummy, and the russian version of hotpockets (mystery meat baked in dough), we finally got to work. Sure makes the days go faster. And we also got a ping pong table setup in our game room. So we have pool tables, now ping pong. We brought a dart board with us, but we seem to have forgotten the darts. Wish we were able to go out and see the towns around here. Would be nice to check out the culture, but it is something the locals didn't want so we stay here on the base. Did some walking around checking things out. We have a fenced in area we are allowed to explore sort of. Haven't found any old land mines or anything so all is well. Lots of cows on the outside of the fence line. The locals refer to where we are as a desert. They need to come to vegas if they want to see desert. It is more like just open fields. Some shrubs, some trees, but mostly flat. The strangest thing I have thought is that not so long ago, this place used to be a nuclear base. With an intercontinental ballistic missle aimed at the US. Now, I am on that same base and there is an american flag hanging out in the courtyard. Incredible. Can't wait to see the silo where we will launch from. Sorry, no pics of that either.
I hope everyone that is reading this is doing well. I sure miss my babies, miss the hell out of CindyLyn, miss grammy and poppy, MARIANO'S FOOD!!!...miss my fam lots...everyone. Trying my best to not be homesick. Maybe if yu all weren't so much damn fun, I wouldn't miss you so much. So as the movie title says...From Russia, with Love.

Hey Sluggo.....had lunch with Lawnie and Folksey today....both want to know if you met any nice homo ruskies yet?....NP
Hey Meekly, Richie Racer here ... so cool of you to create this blog...love reading about your shenanigans... Gog's right, sounds like Hungarian breakfasts (except there is usually a shot of whiskey or vodka involved - with an espresso chaser)
We'll miss you this weekend for the lee/bobbie graduation party poolside.
Both nicki and kristen have boyfriends coming to the party and are bummed that uncle mike won't be there ... nicki said "I can picture uncle mike shaking his hand and not letting go and then giving him a noogie" tee-hee... she's got you pegged!
lots to catch up on when you get home, meek, can't wait to hear more about you adventures! ...
and, boy, do i have stories for you! we had kristen's post-prom party ...two words... damage control...one word ...whew!
love you, meek - ricki
Meekly, make sure you find a way to call and harrass the boyfriends on Sunday....we'll put you on speaker phone!
wish you could be there in person - you are waaaayyyy funner than NP
Hey Meek. Guess what? I have learned to use a blog! Whatever that is. Went to Mariano/s last night and saw Joan and Walt. Walt said he used to go to Russia and thinks he knows where you are. Said it was a desert but he liked it when he was there in the 70/s or 80/s. Interesting! All were asking about you and I told them bout customs. Only you! Will you please behave yourself. I'd send you darts but don't have any.
Miss you so much Love ya Mom
AAAAHHHHHH Mom knows how to BLOG!!! what next, she might take a plane ride to Russia to visit Meekly?????
