One step forward, two steps back! At least, that's what seems to be happening round here lately! Thankfully, this time it's nothing major. Frustrating, yes, but nothing that can't be dealt with. Some of you may remember a few days ago that I posted that Margaret really wants another blu ray/DVD... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a great weekend. I think we should skip Mondays from now and and go straight into Tuesdays! What do you all think? Please may I ask you all to pray for Tricia's little guy, Aaron? He fell out of a tree last night. He spent the night in hospital, and at first,... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Friday, my friends! I'm very happy and excited, even, to report that most of the snow from yesterday has already vanished. There are still a few ugly patches scattered here and there, but it's nice to see grass and pinecones again. Even if the grass is brown and dead and dry and ugly. At least...

I know I haven't written much here over the past few months. At best, when I do write, it seems to be only one or two short posts a day. My mind wanders like the fluttering wings of a bird or a butterfly. Speaking of birds again, a large flock of grackles or crows-I can't tell which-has joined our... Sign in to see full entry.

Good grief! I was so excited a few days ago. the temperatures were nice and warm...and the snow was finally melting enough so we could actually look out our windows and see grass and pinecones! The grass may be brown and dead and dry, but at least we could see it. However, last night, Mother Nature... Sign in to see full entry.

I meant to write today, but we all know the saying about the best laid plans of mice and men. In any case, I hope you all had a good day. I received word from the IFCJ this afternoon that they had been unable to process my donation because my card number had been deemed invalid. I'm sure I gave them... Sign in to see full entry.

What a beautiful sight for the day! While Margaret and I were eating breakfast this morning, she noticed Sunny staring quite intently out the window at something. He kept pawing at it, as if he were trying to catch something to give to his Mummies. But, when she looked again... Our robins are back!... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a blessed Easter holiday. Margaret and I had a quiet three days. Mostly, we watched television programmes or moives, that was about all. We exchanged Easter baskets yesterday. I got quite a few goodies, and so did Margaret. Sunny was given a couple of morsels from... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Passover and Happy Easter my friends.. I wish you all a holiday filled with blessings and love and peace. He loves you more than you know. I'll see you all again on Monday. Until then, God bless and my love to all of you. Sign in to see full entry.

Good grief! I must sound horribly ungrateful to you all, my friends. I'd like to apologise for the way my post of yesterday must have sounded to you all. First of all to our wiley John and Lady kabu. Thank you for your words to me and for your love and support and gentle wisdom. And my heart felt... Sign in to see full entry.

The past couple of days, I've been listening to Elton John's LIVE IN AUSTRALIA. Of all his albums, it's one of my favourites. I adore the man, not only for his music, but for his compassion and love for those in need. Especially children and those who suffer from HIV and AIDS. Elton has performed...

Yes, it's pay day. So, why the blues? It's a silly reason, really. I'm ashamed of myself, to be honest. I know I shouldn't feel that way, but I do. I tell myself to get over it, and I've tried countless times, but it never works. No matter how hard I try. I'm sick of having to depend on the... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm not sick per say, but I'm afraid the Gestapo has set fire to Normandy again. So, not a good day to sit and write. I'll try again tomorrow. I hope you all had a good day. Sign in to see full entry.

ANGELS OF ANOTHER KIND It’s a dark, frigid night in January. Normally, I don’t go walking late at night. And in the middle of a snow fest, no less! But tonight, I need to be outdoors. Staying in only makes me think of him. It’s dark, but still clear. There is no howling wind. And, there are stars in... Sign in to see full entry.

“Please don’t think badly of him, child.” Anna has taken my hand. “You must understand…here in The Slavic Republic, we don’t usually see such people. The elderly, yes, but you are so young.” “Here in Yugoslavia,” I correct her softly and politely. She gives me an odd glance. “I’m sorry, Anna.... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Back to the old Monday bump and grind, huh? If you happen to live in the colder parts of the country, I hope you're all keeping safe and warm! The wicked winds of March are howling mad this morning! It's also snowing again. I'm so thankful to... Sign in to see full entry.

Passover begins on 4 April. With all the heartache in Israel and Ukraine, I decided to do something this year that I didn't do last. Not because I didn't want to, but because I ran out of funding. For all that I have, it's the very least I can do. I made a donation to the IFCJ. I haven't been able... Sign in to see full entry.

Why does she insist on knowing my every movement? Does she honestly think I’ll weaken and hand Luna over to her to do with the dog as she pleases? When hell freezes over. Still, I must do my best to remain cordial. If we’re to become enemies, it will be her choice. Not mine. “Dobro jutro, Rena.... Sign in to see full entry.

Bless Sasha’s heart. He’s done a fantastic job at keeping up the house, but there is no garden to speak of anymore. Save for a couple of bare fruit trees scattered throughout. I don’t even know what kind of fruit they produced. It’s still too cool out to plant anything. Sadly, I’m beginning to fear... Sign in to see full entry.
