As I was leaving for NJ, Garry talked to Vlad (Valera's brother), one of our former students, in Ukraine. Vlad joined the army in the summer. He was injured in the recent fighting and was in hospital with head injuries, three pieces of shrapnel removed and a concussion. He was talking about some other injuries, hand, I think. His friend that speaks more English is in the same room. It sounded like they were hit by artillery fire from a tank.
We had heard that the other Max from the first year of the trade school (not the one who came to Canada) that has been in the army was in hospital with a hand injury.
Jack from BC is thinking of going to Ukraine with Garry and a couple other guys at the end of March to work on replacing the barn roof. Plans are still being figured out. Of course it will depend on conditions in Ukraine.
I forgot to put photos of some of the cheese they are making and selling in my last post. Garry says he tried some of the ones in the jars when he was there, and it was tasty. The round one is a new soft cheese they're making that can be fried.
The latest product for sale is butter, one piece of equipment purchased this past year was an electric butter churn. Here's a peek into the first batch.
