I love these vectors that Raker Tooth makes. He has two of them now and today I will post another close up of a window from a favourite village home of mine. These windows are starting to fall apart and I think that it is important to preserve the look at least… The vectors do […]
I received a comment by e-mail and after thinking about what it said, I decided to post said e-mail. No name, but the person who sent it will know who they are… Beloved friends; After reading comments this morning regarding Obama,Iran,voting etc. I mentally folded up my keyboard in disgust. Our country is almost completely […]
Nikolai hugged me and said goodbye, Larissa; who at the beginning was wary of me, has changed and become a friend of mine also. Larissa even shed a tear for leaving, I know that she finally realized that Nikolai and I were friends and enjoyed life together, when we went to town… They made me, […]
