- Description
- The image depicts an open book with two facing pages. The left page features a color photograph of a woman identified as Princess Olga Orlova. She wears an elaborate and ornate headdress adorned with pearls and gemstones, which is intricately designed with a wide, fan-like shape. The woman is dressed in a richly decorated garment with a high collar and has an expression that appears serene and distant. Below the photograph is a small label with the text "Princess Olga Orlova." The right page contains handwritten text in a neat, cursive script covering the entire page. The handwriting is uniform, with words slightly slanting forward, resembling personal reflections or notes.

sadly, from Gretchen, in tears, because her Mother died. At 99, Gretchen is 71, and she was in straight- on grief.
The Trump impeachment talk is in full uproar, the Amber Guyger shooting of an unarmed black man jury found her guilty of murder. Uproar around there, too. Constant conflict. And it's too much.
Bodily limitations, aging, fear of where this will inevitably lead and the atmosphere of hold hot conflict - it's all so saddening and outright grief-enducing. - Rights
