“Raus, Jude! Raus!” Now, along with the shouting men, dogs are barking madly. From her place at the window, Sasha can see that the inhabitants of the ghetto are being ordered outside. But why? And him? What has he done? Sasha does not see what comes next, but Alex does. The line of men against the... Sign in to see full entry.

Holy cow! Now that was what I call a work out and then some! It only lasted for about twenty minutes, but it felt great! Now I'm certain I must be burning at least a few calories when I play, because I'm sweating again! So much for that shower this morning! Becky doesn't know this yet, but I made a...

Hi everyone... I hope you're all having a pleasant Saturday so far. It's another beautiful and sunny Saturday here...but not warm enough to open the windows I'm afraid. This makes Lovebug a most unhappy kitty! My little trees are trying desperately to hold on to what few leaves are still clinging to... Sign in to see full entry.

This is ode to the little squirrels playing outside my window today. It isn't really haiku, but I hope you enjoy it anyway... AUTUMN FRIENDS Gray and red And sometimes black Fluffy, bushy Lovely tails Bright and happy eyes Scampering up and down the trees Gathering food and building warm nests How I...

Ugh! How I hate days that seem to drag on forever, especially when you don't seem to have accomplished much of anything at all! Sigh. I'm frustrated as all get out, but what can I do? My body is having one of those days when it refuses to obey me. Ah well, tomorrow's a new day, I suppose. I had so... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy anniversary to my bestest friend ever, Becky and Walter! If there were two souls ever meant to be joined together forever, they're yours. Have a wonderful day together celebrating your love for one another. May God grant you many more wonderfully blessed years together. I love you both more... Sign in to see full entry.

I honestly don't know what's the matter with me today! I got up this morning at 8:00, and was looking forward to the day! I'm not having a bad day at all, but all of the sudden, I don't want to do anything! Except maybe crawl back into bed and watch television. Sigh. I won't do that, of course. I...

It's such a beautiful day outside today! The leaves are cheerfully coloured...the grass is still a brilliant shade of green...and the sun is shining. Makes me wish I could just get up and go for a long walk. There's a new doughnut shop downtown. Perhaps I'd just wander in and order myself a cup of... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I just wanted to thank you all for your prayers for my Grammy. I spoke to Mum last night on the phone, and Grammy was indeed admitted to hospital the night before. X-rays were taken, but they couldn't find any signs of broken bones anywhere in her foot. So, the next step is a bone... Sign in to see full entry.

For some reason, this one called to me tonight. I'll do my best to continue with it tomorrow. THE LINE KRAKOW, WINTER 1941 Where is he? The pretty girl with the dark green eyes and wavy chestnut hair down past her shoulders stands at the window waiting anxiously for signs that he made it without... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... Please may I ask you all to pray for my Grammy? Last Saturday, she fell and hurt her foot. The day we went to visit her, my cousin took her to the emergency room because it was causing her quite a lot of pain and she couldn't walk without the aide of her walker. At first, the doctors...

Last night I read a post by our dear friend pricklypear, and it made me think of something I haven't for so long now...at least, I haven't thought it out loud. She longs to go to Israel, to live and to serve God. I pray that if it is God's will for her life, she will realise her dream. It reminded... Sign in to see full entry.

Wow! Still nothing terribly interesting to write about tonight, I'm afraid. Oh, well...maybe something will pop itself into my mind tomorrow. I was a very naughty little girl! I just pre-ordered the combined first and second series of CALL THE MIDWIFE that comes with the CD of music from the show. A... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum and I had a good time when she came for coffee late this morning. She absolutely loved all of her birthday gifts and the card we bought for her! I knew she would. I told her that some of the gifts were from Margaret as well, because they were. Even though Margaret couldn't be here with us to... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy birthday, Mum! I hope you have an awesome birthday! We love you! Have a great birthday dinner tonight and enjoy all your goodies! I hope you get to eat a big slice of birthday cake! Sign in to see full entry.

Sigh. I've been doing my best to exercise more, but for me that isn't always as easy as I'd like it to sound. I do have my stretchy rubber bands from my brief physical therapy sessions and my peddler, but even with those I have to be extremely careful. Our Taps has inspired me, you see. Get out...

I'm really looking forward to hanging out with Mum and Grammy for most of the day tomorrow. I couldn't go to the family reunion when my cousins were here from Virginia this summer, and I felt really badly about not being able to go. Tomorrow is my chance to make up for missing the fun.

Yes, you read the title of the post correctly, dear ones...though I can't believe I just said that! Though you'll understand the reason why in just a moment...I think!

Mum's birthday is on Monday. On Sunday, she's going to visit Grammy and the two of them are going out for dinner, Grammy's treat. Mum had originally planned to spend Sunday evening with Grammy and come back home on Monday, but has decided to come home late Sunday afternoon. Grammy had originally... Sign in to see full entry.

I honestly don't know how I feel about this. I know it's wrong to applaud some decisions, but I honestly just don't know how I feel. Sad, yes. Even more angry? Yes. Not for the man in question, but for his countless, nameless victims. According to the Simon Weisenthal Foundation's website, the Roman... Sign in to see full entry.
