Our friend Teah each year travels from N.Y. City to her Mother Country, Tbilisi Georgia, to take her daughter to visit her father while on Summer break from school.
On Friday Georgia tried to regain control over the Breakaway region of South Ossetia. Russia went on a vicious attack and up until last night looked as though it was going to move to overthrow the Capital of Tbilisi.
Last night Russia stopped after it's troops reached and attacked the Georgian town of Gori, 75 miles from Tbilisi.
The U.S. citizens where evacuated out of Georgia yesterday morning, but Teah was not leaving without her daughter who was in the Mountains with her father. She said that travel from the mountains to Tbilisi would be too dangerous.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Teah and her family. We haven't heard from her to see if she was able to get her Daughter and leave Tbilisi. We haven't heard anything from her since before the evacuation.
I have the terrible feeling that this is not over. Russia continues to threaten the President of Georgia saying the he Must step down. While the fighting has stopped this morning the tension continues to rise.
If you have a moment, please say a prayer for the safety of Teah and her family. This girl has been through so much in her life!

Life and times of Dealing with a Dragon named Hep C
I found that Hep C has a nick name.
The Sleeping Dragon.
It's fitting.... Strange thing is that I've always loved Dragons.
I guess I never could have imagined that I'd have one of my own.
About Me
- Laurie
- I'm a 42 year old Mother of 5. 3 of my own and 2 of my Husbands. My 3 are 13, 17 and 21. His are 22 and 26. We have 3 boys and 2 girls. In my life I've had 17 surgeries, a tatoo and a blood transfussion. So your guess is as good as mine as to where I contracted Hep C. I do not believe it was from the tat. The gentleman that did the art was very careful with sterile tools. But who knows. I was diagnosed with Hep C on March 22, 2007. Geno type 1b with a viral load of almost 5 million. And now I turn the corner and yet a new path lay ahead of me...... A new Journey begins

I got an email from Tea on Sunday, saying her daughter was in the mountains and she was in Tblisi and the US embassy would have evacuated Tea, but she wouldn't leave her daughter. Haven't heard anything since. I'll let you know if I do hear from her and you do the same.
I'm so glad that she got her Daughter!
Isn't her Mom so Brave!
Incrediable!
