A NEW FAMILY

The next morning, the sky is clear and the temperature is warm enough for me to take my breakfast in the garden. Last night, Sasha and his mother were kind enough to go to the market for me. Bread with cherry jam and some sliced honey apples. And coffee, of course. I set up my “studio” before making... Sign in to see full entry.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

The bathtub is full of luscious hot, soapy water. After I’d unpacked, I went for a walk and ended up in an open air market. A woman was selling her homemade bath gels for an inexpensive price, so I bought several of them. Tonight’s choice is pears and honey. Heaven! The spacious bedroom is adjacent...

FOGGY

Is it really Monday again already? The weekend went by much too quickly for Margaret and I. Sadly, she's upstairs lying down because she's not feeling well. I hope it's not a flu coming on! Belle and the kids are supposed to visit for a few days starting on Wednesday, but if Margaret's still sick... Sign in to see full entry.

NOT FEELING THE LOVE

Hi everyone... I hope all you love birds had a fabulous Valentine's Day. Personally, it doesn't do a thing for me. I'll buy my own flowers and chocolates, thank you very much. I don't understand the need for a national holiday of love, anyway. Love each other all year round, I say! Sign in to see full entry.

PRAYERS NEEDED

Hi everyone... Please may I ask you all to pray for my friends Bill, Bruce, and Debb? Each of them has lost a friend or family member over this past week. Thank you all and God bless. Sign in to see full entry.

SNOW BALL FIGHT, ANYONE?

Happy Thursday, my friends... We're being buried under yet more snow. I read yesterday that the state of New York Police Department has actually issued an arrest warrant for that poor little groundhog! Really???? I say, if you want to blame someone, blame Mother Nature. She must be seriously annoyed... Sign in to see full entry.

TRY NOT TO FAINT, KABU!

It was raining when I left the airport. Not heavy, at first. Now, however, it’s down pouring. My cabbie glances at me with a smile on his face. “The weather is usually more pleasant, even for this time of the year. I hope it won’t ruin your first day here!” I smile at him in return. I’ve had limited... Sign in to see full entry.

NOT TO STOP ANY HEARTS BUT...

I’ve been sitting here amongst the wild roses and honeysuckle and other flowers for nearly an hour. Just staring at them. I’ve had a message on my phone from Peter and Ellah saying they’re still in Austria (in Salzburg) and that I may join them there if I wish. They’ve been on a long holiday and...

ANY GUESSES YET?

We drove the entire way in silence. I could not bare even to look at him. He took my bags into the small cottage I’d purchased last summer and came back to help me inside. He tried to give me back the keys to the house in Paris. “No, Max. That house no longer belongs to me. It was written in Meme’s... Sign in to see full entry.

SHALL WE CONTINUE?

I packed my things last night, though I still have no idea where I will go. I will take nothing from the house with me. None of the art work or furniture belong to me, and I have no right to them. I have no right to Paris herself, any longer. I can’t leave, however, until I’m certain I have... Sign in to see full entry.

KEEP YOUR OPINONS TO YOURSELF

Something happened between a friend and I the other day on face book, and I'm honestly hurt. I was angry at first, but now I'm just hurt. I won't go into details, since there's really nothing I can do to change what happened. What I will say is that this friend apparently felt I was being too... Sign in to see full entry.

FOR ONE OF OUR OWN

Hi everyone... Please may I ask you all to keep our Symphony in your thoughts and prayers? She's going through a very personal situation. Don't worry, all the children are doing well. Also, please continue to pray for our Rumor. Thank you all and God bless. Sign in to see full entry.

NOT A GOOD DAY FOR WRITING

Ugh! I meant to write today...really, I did! It just turned into one of those days when life got in the way! I'm looking into a possibility of another writing site, but no worries, I'm NOT leaving blogit! I just need money in a big way right now, and hopefully finding another paying site will help...

NO GIVE AWAYS...YET!

After Daphne left, I sat numb on the sofa. I opened my laptop and began searching. I needed to be truly alone, but where could I go? I have friends in so many parts of the world. No one had the right-nor would they-know where I was going. But, God help me, where would that be? I can’t go back to... Sign in to see full entry.

THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES

For the time being, Ukraine will be put on hold. It will be continued, but there's a side story that must be told first. Stay tuned to find out where I end up next! Sign in to see full entry.

ALL HAIL THE GROUNDHOG!

NO END IN SIGHT

Another Sunday. For those of you who'll be watching the Super bowl this evening, I hope you enjoy the game. My Mum will be among you. She's a loyal Cowboys fan. Personally, I couldn't care less about the game or who wins it. I won't even watch the half time show. I've seen some of the new adverts... Sign in to see full entry.

UKRAINE CONTINUES

There was no answer. The message on their machine said they had gone to Austria for a few days, but didn’t say when they would return. I don’t have much time, so I’ll try to contact them again when I get to Poland. I sit for a long time, wondering if I should remain in Paris a few days after all. I... Sign in to see full entry.

RETURN TO UKRAINE

UKRIANE “Your application for permission to enter Ukraine as a volunteer for the American Red Cross has been denied. Due to your extenuating medical problems, we feel it would be…” Unsafe. A liability to the organization. You name it, that’s what they feel it would be. Damn them all to hell! The... Sign in to see full entry.

SNOW DAYS

Hi everyone and happy Friday! Yes, Jimmy A, I'm absolutely certain it's Friday this time! And am I ever glad of it. Only problem is, I can't get outside to go anywhere. I'm starting to go stir crazy, if y'all haven't noticed. Sadly, it's snowing heavily once more. Another six to ten inches. I've... Sign in to see full entry.
