Like many Americans I've been consumed with Russia's assault on Ukraine that's being played out in real time at every turn. The war in Ukraine has affected my family, but not as I'd ever have imagined — especially since my family is neither Russian nor Eastern European.
My mother has begun her 94th year on this earth, and if her birthday party last weekend was any indication, what future she still has will prove most interesting.
Thank you for sharing your mother's experience with the news. My grandmother watched Lawrence Welk on tv, and told me he came to visit her with his band. They played to her just outside her window, pointing to the tv. She had another unusual window as well...her large mirror. Every time she looked at that window, an old lady was in her window looking at her. That's why Grandma hid her mail, checks, money. Humor and love, you are doing well.

How do you know the Russians are not out there? They are doing so poorly in Ukraine, they may be lost or seeking an easier target.
