The laptop died in the Tiny Russian Village. It was a good workhorse and actually still works, but the monitor has shelled out completely. I could hook up the external monitor, but that is space consuming and I like more area to work in…. And the keyboard is different, but that I will work around… […]
I have talked about this before…. But then if it has to do with my life in Russia, I have most likely talked about it several times… The fence wars are starting for earnest… Vova is upset, many of the other villagers are upset and I just watch the world going around and around… Svetochka’s […]
Woke up and saw Trump has already back tracked after tweeting a few good things. The people in charge started to Tweet back hate and warmongering and Trump folded… Yes and of course these were things that had to do with Russia and you all know Russia is the number one scapegoat for the USA […]
I was stretching my body and getting ready to walk with Boza. Then I heard the far off whine of an engine and Boza recognized the sound. It was Father Pavel and he was tearing up the mountain of our Tiny Russian Village at around 4:15 a.m. Dust flying and Boza and I grumbled at […]

I have scoured the area and this year Mamma Eagle is missing. Maybe she found a new home? Maybe she did not like me taking her picture? Maybe she is dead? I do not know… I know her kids are here. We have an abundance of young eagles and they are flourishing. I counted seven […]
The last few days have been rough for Boza. He struggled for a night and then we had a rough half a day. His left eye went out of control. Not sure why yet, but it became very resistant to drops and the glaucoma went rampant. Even the right eye tried to become a pain […]
In America in which I lived in, only people in big cities had to lock their doors of homes, flats, apartments and or their cars. A bicycle could sit for days out front of the house and no one dreamed of stealing it. I remember an America in which “Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and […]
She knows who she is and Svetochka, Boza and I thank you very much… The image is of the planted white lilacs that were sent to us by the mail services.
