Father Pavel came to the Tiny Russian Village yesterday and they put up a cross in a field… Oh yes, the note on the cross talks about a cemetery for the monastery from the old days. It talks about male monks, but I know that the monastery was a female monastery? No says Svetochka, “They […]
Vova stopped by first thing this morning, he has been waiting for Svetochka to leave and now I get to have a Vova a day to keep the doctor away. I pulled a bad tooth for him, I guess he was waiting for Sveta to leave to have me help him. We tied a nylon […]

What else can be said? The village, a bike and the sabaka! Svetochka takes wonderful images. This is her idea of a perfect world… WtR
You watch as the US tries the same games in Russia as they successfully did in other countries. Russia is not other countries and Russia is stable. I see a backlash upon the US and it is growing… I see fear in the making within the US administration. Wake up people and drive that fear […]
