And it won't cost me a fortune! Because I do so much shopping online through my emails and such, I usually get... Sign in to see full entry.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Wouldn't ya just know it? amazon is having a one day only sale on video games. This is actually a good thing because the little guys next door actaully have a wii system, and so do Becky and Walter, so I could buy them Christmas prezzies! Ummm...we won't say who else, 'k?... I promise, I'll do... Sign in to see full entry.

WELCOME HOME MOLLY

I'm so happy for Jim and Ann and Sarah and Jamie. They finally got to bring Molly home from the rescue centre yesterday. For those of you who may not have read what I posted a couple of weeks ago, Molly is a black border collie who was in need of a loving home. Jim and family discovered her when...

TOO CLOSE TO HOME

I need to ask for prayers for the family and friends of a complete stranger. I never knew this man, anything about his life or anything about what was causing him such pain. Last night a man here in the city where I live took his own life by jumping off the bridge. The bridge isn't too far away from... Sign in to see full entry.

A MESSAGE OF THANKSGIVING TO OUR TROOPS

This being the time of year to celebrate the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's holidays, I'm inclined to start thinking of our troops overseas. I'm sure that these holidays are some of the hardest days of all for them. Having to be away from friends and loved ones during these times of special... Sign in to see full entry.

THINKING OF THEM TODAY

I woke up this morning thinking of my Uncle Gordon and my Aunt Notie today. I haven't seen them since I was a little girl, but I've never forgotten how kind they were to me and to all the other kids in the family. I remember last year just a few weeks before Thanksgiving Mum rang to ask if Margaret... Sign in to see full entry.

GOODY! WE'RE GONNA PLAY MISS SANTA KLAUS!

Margaret and I are so excited and happy! We're gonna play Miss Santa Klaus this year to the two little guys living next door! I for one can't wait to hear their excitement when they tell us about the gifts they got. A few days ago, Margaret and I asked if A and R had applied to either the Salvation...

ROCK ON, CHARLIE

I'm not a huge game show fan. I don't watch them at all, really. But for some reason, I've always been a huge WHEEL OF FORTUNE fan. Today is a very sad day for all the staff and crew of the show, and for its fans. Charlie O'Donnell, who had been with WHEEL OF FORTUNE for twenty eight years has... Sign in to see full entry.

A LONG BUT HAPPY DAY

Hello everyone! I'm sorry I wasn't here to read anyone or write today, but I needed to get out of the house and so we did. Mum was kind enough to give us a lift to Wal-Mart. We did some shopping for the house and bought some things for ourselves as well, and it didn't cost us too much at all. We're... Sign in to see full entry.

MEET SUBWAY MARY

Mary has spoken to me again at last... SUBWAY MARY I was just closing up shop for the night the first time I saw her. What a beautiful name…Mary. Chosen by God to give His Son to the world. My own Grandmother’s name is Mary. It was just about three weeks or so until Thanksgiving. I own an art studio... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT TO WRITE?

I'm back! I'm sitting here thinking...what should I write? There are tons of things I want to write about...but where should I start? Hmmm... I will definitely be getting back to Vyktor today, but there are a couple of other projects I would like to at least attempt to start working on today as... Sign in to see full entry.

BUSY DAYS AHEAD

Happy first day of November everyone! Can you all believe it? I can't! Where is the year going?! I hope you all had a very safe and happy fun filled Halloween. Poor Margaret ended up having to spend the night at Belle's. She's home now, and very glad to be. So am I! I'm not sure if the surprise I... Sign in to see full entry.

A HALLOWEEN TRICK OF MY OWN!

MUUUUAAAHHH!!!! I'm gonna play the best Halloween trick EVER on Margaret!!!! She's gonna be so surprised! I can't wait! She's programmed her new mp3 player, but hasn't downloaded any music to it yet. A couple of months ago, we were watching an episode of ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER and there... Sign in to see full entry.

A RE-POST FOR VYKTOR

He is chasing me. I can feel him close behind as I try to get back to Vyktor, who is just ahead of me. I can hear him laughing as he shouts, “Come back you traitor! How do you dare protect this Jew-loving piece of filth? Come back and face your death like a man!” At last, Vyktor’s hand is within my... Sign in to see full entry.

MORE NIGHTMARES...SWIMMING THROUGH A SEA OF HEARTBREAK

He is chasing me. I can feel him close behind as I try to get back to Vyktor, who is just ahead of me. I can hear him laughing as he shouts, “Come back you traitor!

SIGH...WILL OUR LANGUAGE BARRIER EVER BE BROKEN DOWN?

I've just had the sweetest, saddest email from Volodya. Despite my translating CLOUDS into English for him, he still wasn't able to understand it the way he wanted to. I was hoping he would be able to, but he says he was very unsuccessful. Sigh. I should have known that it would still be difficult... Sign in to see full entry.

SAFE IN HIS ARMS...BUT FOR HOW LONG?

“Christy?” Babi’s voice calls to me softly from outside. I hurry out, sensing that something is wrong. “What’s wrong Babi? Is Dadi all right? Is it Alex?” “Don’t worry little one,” she tells me. “We are all fine. I only wanted to tell you that Dadi and Alex went back to the house and fell asleep. I... Sign in to see full entry.

WINDING DOWN

Margaret and I are officially STUFFED after our delicious dinner. I doubt we'll be eating another large meal tonight...though we might take a few naughty nibbles of something sweet later on. And why not? It's her birthday until midnight, after all! I wish I could say my back is feeling better, but... Sign in to see full entry.
