Happy New Year!

This card is appropriate for today - a snowy New Year's Eve in Moscow. Unfortunately, it was a bit too warm for the snow to stick on the pavement downtown for more than a couple of hours, but seeing the blizzard conditions in effect during much of the day did put everyone in the holiday spirit.

No time for blogging tonight - we have an apartment full of guests with whom we'll ring in 2005, and we still haven't finished packing for our 7am flight - to a 2-week vacation in the States. It should be interesting. I keep telling myself that as long as our taxi actually shows up at 4am on Jan 1, we'll be fine...

Best wishes to all of you for health, wealth, and happiness in 2005!

Nice picture! I like those old-fashioned postcards you publish once in a while.

Sorry you are leaving, hope we'll stay in touch anyway. What do you think of blogging from the U.S. about all the differencies you'll encounter? (I would suggest a separate blog but publishing in Scraps is ok as well).

Looking forward for your return. And until then - Good bye.
