It didn't occur to them that FAPE was one of those left wing ideas they were running away from.
Mostly, I feel for the kids. It can't be good to ripped away from all social life. They clearly aren't mixing in to Russian society. It's not that hard a language to pick up if they were trying.

We had her celebration of life yesterday, and did a ceremony that reflected her, not our beliefs, as one should.
Traditionally, Jews don't have flowers at our funerals, though.
This is all to say, it's mighty weird having a funeral spray in my living room.

I'm in NE PA for my 35th(!!!) high school reunion. So let me tell you a little story about the 80s.
This is my parents yard. This is Pennsylvania field stone. Growing up here, I didn't realize it was anything special. Everyone has these walls bc when houses got built, the rocks had to go somewhere

Alice, you all are welcome any time! Northeastern PA. And truly, if you're ever driving up I81, let me know, bc I could totally call my mom and tell her my friend and her son are dropping by for lunch on the porch and she'd be thrilled to have you!
I mean, look at this!
