The boys have been busy this week getting coal bagged up and delivered to those in need 
This old Babushka sure was happy to receive a few bags to keep her warm this winter... she did not know that it was coming... I wonder what was going through her head moments before they arrived....
Back at the house renovation, they are almost done here are a few photo's of the job in progress.
we just need to put some white wash on the walls.
.. we just ran into a little snag.. 
for some un known reason, the wire transfer has been delayed... grrrr banks.... and they ran out of money to finish the job and to pay the boys... that's why they switched to handing out the coal... They know we are good for it... but unfortunately that did not stop the electric company from turning off their power today... I had to do an emergency Western Union transfer, but not in time for them to get their power back before night fall... I feel so bad.....
Talant was running a few errands for us as well... 2 of our kids out at Aigoola's have been sick, so he went out to bring some food see if there was anything else they need. he other upsetting news that came is that my friend that had the brain tumor is not doing well... the biopsy came back as an aggressive from of cancer.. the future does not look good for him... The Girls and I phoned him this morning to try to lift his spirits... I asked him if there was anything he needed... I was expecting something substantial, but instead he asked if we could get him some casha... casha is sort of a cheaper version of rice..so Talant has done a little shopping and will deliver that to him.
There was a little good news.... Talant stopped out to see Maksat and Aibek and make sure they were ok... he also had new shoes to bring them... He was so happy to see that they were doing well... He went for a little walk with them so he could have a chance to talk... and they really are doing well... they have both started going to school, and are doing well there....
Thank you again to all those who helped sponsor these projects... you know when the money stops flowing for what ever reason, like it did this last week, it becomes very obvious how close to the wire life is for my little friends....
They have learned to do without so much all year... that's one reason I don't want anyone left out this Christmas...... ( yes I did manage to figure out a way to bring us back to the Christmas pie challenge ...in case you were waiting.)
