Joke of the year so far! Trump said during a press briefing on the coronavirus pandemic last Saturday that “I received a nice note from him recently. It was a nice note. I think we’re doing fine.” But: North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said there is/was no letter addressed to Trump “recently” by “The Supreme Leader,” […]
Other than not having my Sweetpea with me. Self-isolation is fantastic… But then I guess anyone who loves a very isolated Tiny Russian Village would say that! When you are as grouchy as I am and only likes to have one person at a time to even communicate with. My choice would be Svetochka and […]
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the center of the Orthodox Christian faith. Twelve weeks of preparation precede it. This is made up of pre-lenten Sundays, Great Lent, and Holy Week. The faithful try to make this long journey with repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and study. When the feast finally […]
Us humans seem to be so out of touch with nature. We seem at times to be something not part of real life on earth. That could be the issue… I walked at 5 a.m. and saw four deer, one fox, ten eagles, hundreds of ducks and a zillion tiny baby birds… It may be […]

Woe is we, the webs we weave and yet we still run into the web and it is right in front of our face… Much like the ABC report, the Channel 12 story alleges the US government was provided the information, yet “did not deem it of interest,” also stating Israeli health officials were made […]
Purple flowers bloomed so wonderful and then Old Man Winter decided he did not like them and snowed all over our parade in the Tiny Russian Village… Going to rain and snow for three days….two more days to go! Go away Old Man Winter! I love purple flowers… WtR
Slept good, snowy, cold and coffee is superb and a thought struck me… In 2006 I moved out of the US and found a world that hardly anyone in America knows about. I could not go back and live in America. The curtailing of freedoms that I would have to adjust to would be very […]
