Allen, I have missed you. It's my fault because I haven't taken the time to figure out how to respond on your blog.

You are almost as cute as Grayden. I love the family pictures...and of your very handsome dog. You two do not look alike. How is Tanya? I follow what's going on in the Ukraine. My dear husband, Mark, died in October, 2018. He was born is Odessa. The family left Ukraine when he was a few months old. There hasn't been any family in the country for more than ninety years. There was practically no talk about Odessa. This in not the time and place to go into any more detail, but I wanted to give you sense of my strong attachment to your country. On the other hand, given my predisposition, I would probably feel the same about Ukraine if there was no personal association to the country. Your blog brings me close to you, your family and Ukraine. Thank you Allen. I'll share a few thoughts about the USA when we make contact again.

Fern, can you send me your email address? Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram work for me.

Allen, All the companies you mentioned are owned by FB/META. I am an anti-FB. Let's find another option. Tied up at the moment. Want to find a way. Cheers!

Hi Allen. I'm not on Instagram. Does that matter? If it does not matter and no hassles for me, I'll be happy to. Just confirm. Sounds as though you found a way for us to communicate. Thanks. Fern

You can try. I am on Instagram as theblogfodder. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something

I agree. Grayden looks more like Mishel's son at the same age. You should be able to comment as anonymous if you include your name then I will know who. Tanya is doing OK. Lucky is glad she is home. So far our community is safe. But the carnage in Ukraine is so sad.
