Odesa, 2019. My grandchildren and art.

Image
I, by nature and by the education I received, am a teacher and I like it. And I am always ready to share my qualities and skills with my girls, and of course with my grandchildren. I don’t know how useful this can be for them in life, but I always didn’t miss the chance and kept them busy with painting and drawing lessons. I taught many of them to read and write, and not only that. I gave them English lessons. As time passes, the children grow up, but I continue to paint and try to share this with my loved ones and children. It is very, very important for me to be needed and to be there for them while I am here in this world. Одеса, 2019. Мої онуки та арт. Я, за своєю суттю і за здобутою освітою-вчитель, і мені це подобається. І я завжди готова поділитися моїми якостями та вмінням і з моїми дівчатками, і звичайно ж із онуками. Я не знаю, наскільки це може стати їм у нагоді все в житті, але я завжди не втрачала шансу і займала їх уроками живопису і малюнка. Багатьох із них я вчила читат...

Odesa. Winter Arcadia. 2019

Image
No matter how much Odesa residents scolded today’s Arcadia, I liked it there. The most important thing was that the alley was always tidied up; in the summer, from the very morning, the sidewalks were washed by Arcadia City workers, and in the winter it was decorated with multi-colored lights, and there was a skating rink where children had fun. And children always have a place where they spend their childhood. So is our George! You could say he grew up in Arcadia, and this is evidenced by the photographs that I will show you. Одеса. Зимова Аркадія. 2019 Як би одесити не лаяли нинішню Аркадію, мені там подобалося. Найголовнішим було те, що алею завжди прибирали, влітку, з самого ранку тротуари милися працівниками Аркадія Сіті, а взимку її прикрашали різнокольоровими вогниками, працювала ковзанка, де веселилися діти. А діти завжди мають місце, де проходить їхнє дитинство. Так і наш Георгій! Він можна сказати виріс в Аркадії і тому свідчать фотографії, які я вам покажу.

Odesa, 2019. Frozen shoulder. Lermontovsky sanatorium

Image
It turns out there is such a disease and I had to go through it this winter. My arm in my shoulder began to hurt very much and after some time I could not lift it – it was excruciatingly painful. I started looking for specialists and it was difficult. One of them asked for an impossible price for the procedures and I had to refuse, I directly told him that I was not able to pay for my visits to him. But then, I don’t remember how it happened, I was recommended to Dr. Alexander Makovetsky from the Lermontov sanatorium. And on winter days I began to attend procedures and saw what our famous and beloved sanatorium looks like from the inside. Of course, this is not a fairy tale. Damp and unheated offices and halls, but with all this, excellent specialists. I am very grateful to everyone who helped me get rid of my illness, and I want to show you a video from a unique, ancient, but still working physical therapy room – this is something! Одеса, 2019. Заморожене плече.   Лермонтовський с...

October 2023. Friday. Limassol News

https://www.facebook.com/groups/461052681344642/posts/1469863263796907 The month of October in our family is rich in events. In October we got married to Radu, in October our daughter Sylvia was born, in October Charlotte and Theodore were born. While in Cyprus, we celebrated three events with our family and Sylvia’s family, and one holiday took place without our participation – this is our Charlotte’s 14th birthday in Cape Town. I asked Rada to send me a video and now I will show you everything except Theodore’s birthday, which is still ahead. At her party, Sylvia herself enjoyed her creativity – the amazing beauty of the table decoration, an incredibly delicious dinner, and her friends were able to enjoy it as well. Talent is talent, and no one can take that away from her. Charlotte’s birthday is obviously different, but it’s a teenager’s birthday and I thought it was really, really fun. Жовтень. П’ятниця. Новини Лімассола Жовтень місяць у нашій родині багатий на події. У жовтні ми з...

2019. New Year’s Odesa

Image
Our beloved Odesa, like every Odesa woman, is transformed before the holidays, she dresses up with bright lights and shines as befits a beauty.   You know, I’ll tell you that while we were all waiting for the birth of our Marcelle and thinking about what to name her, I had an idea that I expressed to Sylvia. I wonder why no one has yet come up with the idea of giving their daughter the name Odesa? To my great regret, my idea was not accepted and the girl was named after another city. It’s a pity! If only we had a granddaughter – Odesa!! Новорічна Одеса. Наша улюблена Одеса, як і всяка одеситка, перетворюється на свята, вона вбирається яскравими лампочками і сяє як і належить красуні. Ви знаєте, я вам розсаджу про те, що під час, коли ми всі чекали на народження нашої Марсель і думали про те, як її назвати, у мене виникла ідея, яку я висловила Сільвії. Цікаво чому, поки що нікому не спала на думку ідея дати своїй дочці ім’я – Одеса? На мій великий жаль, моя ідея не була сприйнята і ...

January 2019. My Daughters are my personal and very favorite photographer and writer!

Image
https://www.facebook.com/groups/461052681344642/posts/1468808703902363 I am a very happy mother, my girls are very talented! When they were growing up, I understood all the hardships of an artist’s life and did not insist that they follow my path. Radu and I did everything in our power to ensure that they became independent. Both of our daughters have their own characteristics and preferences. One of Sylvia’s many hobbies and professional skills was photography. So we are lucky and have our own professional family photographer. And I also have to tell you about news that made us all very happy. Our Rada became a writer and just in time for the holidays we received a package from her with her new incredibly interesting book! Січень 2019. Мої дочки – це мій особистий та дуже улюблений фотограф та чудова письменниця! Я дуже щаслива мати, мої дівчатка дуже талановиті! Коли вони росли, я розуміючи, всі тяготи життя художника не наполягали на тому, щоб вони пішли моєю дорогою. Ми з Раду зроб...

2018. Christmas time in Cape Town.

Image
And in Cape Town, our family was also preparing for Christmas. And I don’t know what’s better, celebrating this holiday in real winter or vice versa in the middle of summer. These are completely different feelings, but in any case, a holiday is a holiday and it cannot be canceled or banned. Різдво у Кейптауні. А в Кейптауні наша родина теж  готувалася до Різдва. І я не знаю, що краще, відзначати це свято справжньої зими чи навпаки в середині літа. Це зовсім різні відчуття, але в будь-якому випадку свято є свято і його не можна скасувати або заборонити.
