trip to church

Sunday it was plus 8 C as we drove home from church around three in the afternoon- here are some photos showing spring is really coming in Ukraine. Along with the story of our drive to church with the milk.

We brought milk as usual on Sunday morning, somehow the normal plastic ones we bring it in got left on Victor's since Thursday when the dentist's office and Victor's neighbours bought milk, so Garry had to bring a lot of the smaller steel buckets instead. They tend to leak- Seth pointed out that there was milk dripping out the back door when we got in the car. We may need to buy a wet vac or steam claener before summer. One of the regular large plastic containers had to sit in the back seat with Seth and Jonah.



As you can see they were unfazed, Jonah was playing the new puzzle game he downloaded (new internet is great) and Seth had his earbuds in for his MP3 player- I took this photo along with the next ones while we had an unscheduled stop at the check stop- apparently you should not drive in the left lane there unless you are passing (the policeman showed Garry the fine is 500 grivina) and Garry thought he should move into that lane because the police had several cars and big trucks pulled off next to the right lane- like you would at home, for safety. Of course next time they will have a rule of the day that is different- Garry said they even had video of him driving in the wrong lane- of course we have seen many cars go through in the left lane before without the police waving their baton to stop them. I am not sure why the guys in the photo were pulled off there, they met two other guys in another car, who got out, shook hands, and they were still there when we left. Most of the cars the police stopped raced off after making a payment.Garry used his new no bribe policy- when the policeman opened negotiations with what are we going to do? He replied write me a ticket then, and they returned his documents, so we could leave. I gave Garry back his coffee cup and off we went, getting to Victor's church about ten.



Here are the guys getting out milk at Victor's church, then we headed off to Morningstar and our new prefered parking spot (we sell the guard milk and he lets us in the gate and tells us to park right by the front door of the building.
After church is over we wait until the milk is all sold in the room next door, because of the mixup with the containers we only had 90 liters this week, next week we'll have to bring more, some people didn't get any. I took a couple photos of the boys in front of a WWII mural in the building. We went to Dafi mall for lunch and then met Victor in the parking lot to get his empty cans.
