The View from Here by the Torch Fairy

It has definitely been a long time since I last posted.. a lot of things have happened since then.   My dear Mother passed away rather suddenly at the age of 88..you just know that time will come but are still not prepared for it. She was a very sweet person and is missed greatly... She was also a favorite in the home where she lived...
After Mom's Celebration on Life my husband and I when on a 2 week trip to Russia... Had a fabulous time....St. Petersburg & Moscow were amazing... in between the 2 cities we got to see how the ordinary people live....We are so fortunate here where we have all the necessities at a reasonable cost.
