October 4 – November 5, 2019 We spent more time in Serbia this year than ever before, staying in Sabac with Pedja’s parents, in Belgrade with his aunt and uncle and in Novi Sad visiting both sides of our families. There were too many great events to count. We had several family celebrations, a couple … More Belgrade, Novi Sad & Sabac, Serbia
Maki’s writing assignment today: “How can I improve my relationship with my sister” His response: “Stay away from her” (straight to the point, no need for a 2-page assignment he was asked to do) The End (so that I know he has nothing else to say on this subject).

I would drop him off at my aunt’s house while I went to town to finish up some work for uncle Gliso and aunt Stoja. Maksim and … More Back in Sipovo, Village Time
September 18-20, 2019 Teta Vojislavka and Sretena babied me like a kid, taking such great care of Maksim and me. I thought we would stay there for only 2-3 days but Maksim and I extended our stay for that much longer. I now wish I didn’t rush back and postponed our return to Bosnia for … More Tivat, Montenegro
