Our New 19'' Window to the World

This morning we indulged ourselves with a pleasure of watching a three bears cartoon. Okay it wasn't any three bears from Disney or any French three bears. It was the Three Bears and Mashenka made in 1984 by Ekran in the Soviet Union. Yep, it is also an opera especially composed for the little ones. So Sonia listened and watched her first opera while sitting on our comfy queen size bed.

It is also one of the most artfully done with pencil drawings that is so pleasing to an eye in this computer graphic age.

Can it get any better? Yes, it can. Jeremy got us a new computer and it has a huge flat 19-inch-wide screen. Now we can watch treacherous Russian DVDs that can not be played on the regular DVR. Thank you, babulya Luda who is so thoughtful and helps us with these gems of art directly from Russia. Sonia will know some good Russian cartoons. It was a timely purchase too. I love using new comp for my blogging and news catching up activities.

You all are thinking now "How neat, Nadia is watching cartoons of her childhood, ".... well not exactly. It was my first time watching it as well. I grew up without TV (my mother believed TV watching prevents children from experiencing real life and reading books) so I missed a lot of Russian pop culture. Sonia, Jeremy and I are catching up right now ;-)
