Poor Vladika Lazar, in addition to recovering from a stroke and a cancer operation, has been spending hours each day in preparing some of our books for Create Space, so that books can be ordered on demand and printed and mailed instantly. This can be a taxing and tiring job, but our spirits were boosted when we received a gigantic order for the book Twelve Great Feast Days for Young People which has sold thousands of copies over the years. It has been quiet outdoors, as the sawing of limbs will continue tomorrow, and our adversaries, the mosquitoes, are ever vigilant. Since the next few days will be cool and damp, they will continue to bother us, but their days will soon end.
