The Summer’s Going By

The weather has been pleasant in Bucharest, mid-high 80’s. The children are enjoying the summer, playing outside and in their small pool. Mia is beginning to feel better, as is Costel. Things are coming back to normal.

We are still looking for a house to move into. Things are still not settled about the one in Domnesti. There are many good things about this house and a few not so good things. The main thing is the distance from the schools where the children are going now. Mia knows their teachers here and is very comfortable with the quality of teaching. There is a bus system that goes from Bucharest to Domnesti which is a plus. The house has it’s own water system, an orchard, a vineyard, a place to garden, and a little barn for maybe chickens and a cow. Of course, all of the kids would have to learn to farm. That will be different. At present this is our only prospect.

One of the women who went to Bucharest this past March is running in a ½ marathon in September to raise monies for little Coca to have eye surgery. Her eyes are extremely crossed.

Please keep Mia, Costel, and the children in your prayers. The economic situation in Bucharest is getting worse as the prices go up and the U.S. dollar goes down.
