Ira's refrigerator has magnets from her stay in California.
Her kitchen is cozy and tidy. It looks out on the unpaved road below.
Ira's husband, Alexi, has remodeled their bedroom and that is where Bruce and I sleep.
Ira has two couches in her living room and one folds out. There will be enough room for all of us, but her son Eugene will stay with his grandmother.
Ira lives in a 5 story flat on the outskirts of Metatopal. Her mom and dad live in the flat next door.
