Windows to Russia

Yesterday, I was thinking to myself, “Self, I have eaten all the fruit and berries in the yard!” Then an hour later, across the road, Nikolai comes with a huge bowl of fresh ripe yellow plums. The purple plums did not produce this year, but the yellow plums, which did not produce last year, are […]

Half of yesterday and all night, plus still trying to gather all the comments associated with Windows to Russia this morning. Over the many years that I have been blogging, WTR has had close to half a million plus comments. Most were lost during several DDoS attacks several years ago, staged by the land of […]

Comments came under a huge attack from a site based in Washington DC! Cool, because it gave me an excuse to shut down the old and install a third party system and now it is on automatic. I have much better things to do than to spend hours trying to hold off attacks by zealous […]

I talked about how Sveta a month or more ago, wanted to learn to ride horses. Well she found a place nearby our home in Moscow and she rode for the first time since a little girl on a horse. She loves horses and I see a future in the village of raising and breeding […]

About a week ago, Vova went on a date! With a woman! Yes an actual date… It was set up by his friends and family. Vova had no idea they were doing such a thing, but I saw it coming and Vova was invited into a bigger village, where some of his family lives and […]

Yesterday after a long walk with Boza, I came home and found a cute little window open on my computer, it gave me words of wisdom about how Windows 10 was already downloaded and ready to install??? 3 gigs of my precious data used up without my permission. Interesting, who said Windows could do this? […]

Sveta is going to be grouchy with me over this, but we do what we have to do and that I will do… I told no one and fought it with no one! That is the only way to break addictions for me and sometimes, it gets lonely when you break them. For if you […]

It is like a roller coaster, we go from 3 hours of darkness to 8 hours in just a few weeks. The tilt of the earth does that and for us summer is done. There will still be a few days of warmer weather, but with the night galloping upon us at a furious pace; […]
