LIFE IN A RUSSIAN VILLAGE

[@mikemene1267]

Dan, if everyone thought like you, the world would be a better place. I wish many blessings to you and your family ❤

[@susanscully9523]

Dan, you are still a beautiful soul. Always kind and loving. You are right, the most beautiful sound in the whole world is children's laughter. Sati is such a happy child, so precious. Much love and peace to you and Suzi.

[@melissahoney8317]

so true

[@betsybabf748]

You are giving Sati such a gift teaching her English when she is young. There is so much research that seatbelts save lives so smart to use them every time. Great example for Sati too.

[@christinewillis7545]

Bless you Dan for your kindness and for sharing your beautiful family. Internet brings us together across the globe to share the ups and downs of life, to bring a little peace and moments of joy. Respect from New Zealand.

Dan you are absolutely correct people are basically the same unfortunately governments do try to separate us we need more people in the world like you and your family.😊👍🙏

I can’t believe how big Sati is! She is so beautiful!

[@terijensen2873]

Divided people are easier to control, and that is the governments agenda. Thank you for your videos, it is good to see that that we are all wanting the same important things. Family, and friends make for a happy life. Much love to you, Suzy and Sati💜

[@suemick8709]

Physalis that you are eating are called "ground cherries" in North America. Suzy and her sister look so much alike. So nice the cousins are so close in age and will be friends for life. We are legally obligated to wear seat belts. Police will issue a fine if they catch you not wearing a seatbelt. I agree with your philosophy Dan. We are all the same. We love and work and grow and learn and everything else is someone else's idea. Love from Ontario, Canada

[@shilohndrah]

Love this video! Sati and Thea admiring the ducks, Suzy being a wild Russian woman driving a stick shift (manual transmission) and biting cheese with gusto. The. exotic fruit on the ground, hawthorn fruit, mushrooms coming up, droplets of water on leaves, Grandma Sati frying fish, all so dear! Thank you Dan for taking time away from alcohol, it is a. service, and your sauna of course. Thank you for your kind thoughts for us in the world, and your beautiful photography. Now we are also receiving language lessons. Love you all very much!

[@thisoldnurse1521]

Is this Suzi’s first time driving a “stick”? Are you her driving instructor? All my vehicles have been standards. I have driving automatics also. Suzi did very well. It is important for all young people to learn to drive. They have classes in schools.

[@thisoldnurse1521]

Suzi will learn quickly. I am sure. Once she gets her license she can share in the driving. 😊

[@braves9652]

I learned how to drive a car when I was 14. The car I learned how to drive on was a stick and I am so glad because throughout my life I could drive any car I wanted and when I wanted a sports car I bought one. No true sports car is an automatic. Plus a stick is more fun to drive, less likely to be stolen since people who know how to drive one are becoming few and far between and a stick is better on gas.

I smiled when you returned from the store, and you stood outside the house and looking up at the sky you said ...sometimes there are no words. LOL, it sounded as if you were relieved you survived Suzie's driving. Sati is learning so much. Glad she has parents like you and Suzie to let her see the goodness that this world has to offer.

Dan I enjoyed watching this video. I remember your video about harvesting grapes. I remember also when you, Suzi and Sati helped Suzi's father dig up potatoes and picked cherries off the cherry tree. Enjoyed those video's. Family spending time together. Thank you for sharing! It is nice to see you all together. Wishing you all Good Health, Peace and Happiness. Many blessings.🙏❤😊

[@brianfreeman8290]

Hello Dan. I discovered your channel this morning, and have been watching you all day. It is now dark and I am hungry. This ghastly war has built a wall between our nations, and I admit to feeling generally averse towards all Russians. You have totally restored my faith, and shown me that most Russian people are just like me. The same problems, the same aspirations, the same concerns, and the same anger towards our governments. I am now subscribed ! I'm glad you wear your seatbelts !

[@virginiamoss7045]

Loved the wine-making video! One of your best. How much wine is left after half a year? You simply cannot argue with the strong fact that seatbelts save lives over and over and over again. Sati's car seat must be locked down to the seat belts. If you don't strap yourselves in, Sati could end up without her parents one day. And we would miss you two terribly. Good to see you trying to make a habit out of strapping in. In the US we think nothing about it now, but at first many people were angry about it and refused. When we all saw how much less we paid in car and medical insurance as a result of the savings in lives, it was finally embraced as a no-brainer.

[@diwells9233]

[@francesputnam7372]

Please Dan, make a video abt how you and Suzie met and married and maybe one of where you grew up?

[@miask]

I enjoy you and Suzi sharing your life with us. Sati and Thea are growing so fast! They are beautiful babies. I loved seeing Suzi driving-I think it’s a first for us! I’m happy to see you wearing your seatbelt! I had a serious accident that disabled me. If I didn’t have it on, the police told me that if I lived, I would be paralyzed. They truly do save lives! Dan, you are right, a child’s laughter is the most beautiful sound. God Bless you and your lovely family!

Greetings Dan and family from Killeen Texas great video as always. You are doing a great job with your family. This country is in bad trouble right now because they are trying to divide us. We will not let them get away with this. Our government is very bad and wants war all over the world. The people of this country do not want war. I love God very much and try my best to obey Him. Please keep up the good work you are doing well with your English. We love you guy's and no one will divide us from you. May God richly bless and keep you all healthy and well

[@nana73carol46]

What a beautiful day! The children are having so much fun. In the USA that big house would cost a lot, maybe as much as $300,000 depending on where it is located. You and Suzi are very good parents. I wish you well always. Love to you from an American Nana (great grandmother). ❤

Dan and Suzy....it was NOT culture or tradition for we Americans to use the seatbelts either!
