Windows to Russia

Also around 2 p.m. Father Pavel is bringing someone by to see me?? I will see what that is about later today… I wrote the above link and quote yesterday! * * * * * * * * * * I went to bed thinking and I thought in my dreams and I woke thinking […]

Yesterday, I was so busy and could not get it all done. I could not even get apples cut to dry! The Tiny Russian Village was demanding and today is the same… I dug a hole and set a huge fence post, finished setting the gate I built, put a bird feeder out (on the […]

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 […]
