Hi everyone... I hope you've all had a great Tuesday so far. It is COLD outside today! Actually, its been like this for just about four days now. Ever since Earl was supposed to visit us last Friday. Brrrr! My feet really hurt today. Especially my ankle. I will be back soon, but I need to go eat. Sign in to see full entry.

We are still in the field. It is still winter, and snow still clings to the earth and the shivering branches of the trees. Yakov is still on the ground, a pale hand covering the side of his face where the blood has begun to dry. Olga is kneeling beside her husband trying to stop his bleeding. Vyktor...

God is truly an amazing Father. I've just visited a website called www.learntospeak.com and found a set of learning CD's that will help my Uncle learn to speak Norewigan! To my amazement, they are very reasonably priced! Funny, I just left a message for Mum, and my Uncle is on facebook as we speak!... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night, Mum rang me to tell me that one of my Uncles found their first cousins! For reasons I don't understand, they were not allowed to be together growing up, and lost touch at a very young age. He discovered them through an ancestry tracing website which lead him to search a website in Norway... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just made my donation to MDA. I feel so blessed that God tugged at my heart and asked me to do this small favour in rememberance of the teachings of Jesus. My five dollars will do so much good for those who need it the most. How joyful the soul becomes when one gives. The amount doesn't matter.... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, here we are celebrating another Labour Day. I hope that whatever you're doing today my friends, you are safe and having a wonderful time with your friends and families. Since last night, Margaret and I have been listening to the annual telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Today,... Sign in to see full entry.

I am so angry...FURIOUS is more the word here. I read online a couple of hours ago that, despite being on the endangered spiecies list, the gray wolf killings are set to expand!!! If the government can't have its way and do as it wishes with these creatures, they will simply take the alpha males and... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... We were meant to go see EAT PRAY LOVE this afternoon, but poor Margaret and I aren't feeling well. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. No colds or sniffles or flu, thank God. Just stiffness and discomfort all 'round, so we've decided to stay in until the weekend after next when ALPHA... Sign in to see full entry.

Without wanting to, I somehow understand the look in my Babi’s beautiful eyes. Fearful and ashamed, fury and sadness. I so often feel these emotions myself! But what, apart from her torturous separation from Alex, has made her so? It has something to do with the reason she fears Yakov finding the... Sign in to see full entry.

Not only can I not make up my mind about anything, I'm just sitting here and I've reaslised...I'M STARVING!!!! I'm gonna go stuff my face with a bologna and cheese sandwich and some iced tea. Ummm...At least I think that's what I'm gonna stuff my face with!... Sign in to see full entry.

If there's one thing there's no mistaking, it's that I am DEFINITELY a woman!!!! Men so often complain that we can't make up our minds about anything, and much as I hate to admit it, they're right! A rare feat for the members of the male sex, but true nonetheless! There, I said it, all right??!! Men... Sign in to see full entry.

Please continue your prayers for my brother. According to Mum last night, he came through the test okay, but they still don't know what's causing his pain or the weight loss, and won't have the test results back until sometime next week. He's lost another three pounds just this past week, and Mum... Sign in to see full entry.

Well my friends, I am most happy to report that Earl graciously decided to leave we here in Maine in peace. Yes, we did get some pretty heavy rain last night and it got pretty windy, but big deal! We needed the rain anyway, so there! Honestly, people here were panicking so much it was driving... Sign in to see full entry.

I was just in the middle of a session with Vyktor and I get that stupid message that says that it has encountered an error and needs to shut down! I didn't even have a chance to save my most recent work!!!!! Never mind dear... Sign in to see full entry.

I think Margaret is back from Wal-Mart, so I'll be back as soon as we've had some lunch. Sign in to see full entry.

I almost forgot what day it is today. No, I don't mean that I've forgotten it's Friday...and I know it's 3 September. What I mean is that I almost forgot that my brother is having his two hour long test at hospital today. Actually, he may have already had the test. I'm not sure. Either way, he must...

Margaret and I have a love of doughnuts. But we're very picky about them. We don't care for sugar or candy sprinkled or glazed doughnuts. Too much sugar there. WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR!!!! Whenever we go to the DUNKIN' DONUTS, we either go for plain or one of the chocolate varieties. Sometimes we'll get a... Sign in to see full entry.

Did you ever have one of those days when you were waiting? Not for anything inparticular...good or bad...but just waiting? That's me today. I'm sitting writing this and waiting. For what? I have no idea. Earl is apparently still heading our way, but I was much relieved this morning to learn that... Sign in to see full entry.

I just saw the sweetest story on nbc.com. It's about a ninety-four year old man named Frank Burrell, who served on the USS Missouri during WW2 and witnessed the signing of the declaration of surrender by Japan. Mr. Burrell was lucky enough to be standing in the front row of a line of service men who... Sign in to see full entry.

When will the young of this country finally wake up and realise that one day, they too, will become elderly and more likely than not require some kind of nursing care? When will we go back to the days when our elders were respected and revered and sought out for their knowledge and their wisdom?... Sign in to see full entry.
