It has been several weeks since Russia invaded Tbilisi, Georgia at which time I asked for prayers for my husband who was working in the US Embassy in Tbilisi. Thank you everyone for your kind words of support and encouragement and for the prayers. As it turned out, my husband was not able to leave the country. Only the families were evacuated. My plans to go over there have been squelched for a long time, I'm afraid. I was told today that no one is being allowed in the country without permission. I won't be seeing my husband until he comes home for Christmas which means I will be celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary in September with just the dogs! Whatever would I do without them. They are my buddies!
