Windows to Russia

by John Stanton The world knows that the 2016 US presidential horse race features two cartoonish characters that are perhaps the most polarizing figures in American national politics. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump appear at a tenuous moment in the world’s history as economies struggle, infrastructure collapses, nations crumble, and the political systems, at least […]

Today, I will count the coins! I am one of those savers of all coins. I did it in America and continue here in Russia. I use them for a rainy day and my rainy day has arrived….I need another dehydrator and they have one at the Church Village for 3000 rubles… I have two […]

Вот мой дом (Here is my house,) Моя жизнь (My Life,) моя собака (My Dog,) наша прогулка (Our Walk,) друг ( the friend,) деревня (the village,) туман (the village,) and новый день (a new day!) Tiny Russian Village (крошечная русская деревня) * * * * * * * * * * Did you take your […]

I sip a cup of coffee at 2:30 a.m. and allow my sugar levels to get stabilized, before Boza and I walk this morning. I woke in a daze and immediately took my blood sugar, 3.2 and dropping. I have finally worked my system down and fought through months of false hypos. But when it […]

Boza and I spent the last two hours filling the wells. It is interesting for me when I turn on the pump. I stand on the path and wait after I turned the pump on and hear the buzz of electricity. I wait for the tale tale sign of pinging and booming. Much less noise […]

Several days of images, since internet was down. I just tossed a few here to look at. Mainly what interests me as I walk Boza. One thing Russia has is spiders and you have to look over your shoulder all the time. Or on your shoulder, in your hair and on your nose! 😉 Good […]
