Paige was coming today to sit with Joan, so I thought I would do the food shopping at 11:30 while she was here.
I have been getting up at 06:30 for the past few years to do it, and today I thought I would change. Unfortunately, I woke up at 6:45, couldn't get back to sleep, and decided to go. The cost for this week was $57.
During my 3-hour break, I stopped at Cafe Lokum and talked with Ken about his recent marriage in Las Vegas. He said all went well except the photographer charged him more for the pictures taken then they agreed upon.
Zbyszek's daughter confirmed she will come and visit with us after Christmas. She lives in Bulgaria, but is coming back to Poland to spend time with her brother and his family.
I'm still waiting for our friend, Trent, to confirm when he will visit us.
Meanwhile: Ukraine
Five Russian oil refineries set ablaze, four airfield strikes, a Lukoil offshore rig ablaze in the Caspian Sea – all in one night – noisily contradicted Trump’s claim that “Ukraine has no cards.”
On Dec. 11, 2025, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) launched its largest-scale, widest-reaching and most ambitious combined kamikaze drone operation against its giant northern neighbor, Russia, of the entire Russo-Ukrainian War.
Overnight, nearly 300 drones of various types, along with cruise missiles, struck targets across western and central Russia – a stretch of some 2,000 km (1,243 miles) including Moscow, according to Russian and Ukrainian sources reviewed by Kyiv Post. Consistent with Ukraine’s increasingly effective bombardment campaign of Russia’s fossil fuel industry that Kyiv kicked off in July, the Ukrainian main effort for the night appeared focused primarily on five Russian energy production facilities, igniting fires at all of them. Secondary attacks hit four military airfields. Source-Kyiv Post
