This evening I heard, for the first time, the pleasant croaking of frogs in the distance and I suddenly realized how much I missed their vocal serenading. At the Presanctified Liturgy Altita came with her two youngest sons, one of whom, Augustus [Paul], had just returned from Scotland where he and his older brother Nicholas had gone to play soccer. He did not mind that they lost some of the games for they had much fun in Sterling, Scotland. Vladika Lazar is getting many visitors now and that has cheered him up immensely.
