Gordon & Ivona ++++

At the end of February, we had the pleasure of Gordon, Ivona, Emily, Jonathan, and Ivona’s parents Sandu & Rodica coming!

The occasion was dampened just a bit when Emily & Jonathan got sick Sunday afternoon and Monday…

…although, we celebrated Gordon’s birthday on Tuesday in fine fettle…

…all had Bible study in Mom’s room on Wednesday, complete with two-way translation…

…then in the pre-dawn hours of Thursday morning, Gordon and I were sick, too. Sigh!

We had good care from the household of people, though :-)…and by Friday Gordon was recovered enough to drive them all home.

It was so nice to see Sandu & Rodica again, (and indeed to have them here!) who I have known since going to Romania in 1990. Mother was also in their home in Romania, and I believe she recognized them, and was quite impressed and pleased to see them again!

I’ll leave pictures until the next post…

Another Flashback or Two!

I’m not sure that I mentioned in my earlier flashbacks that Philip and Mary were here for a long weekend just before Thanksgiving.

Then, Angie was here during the week of Thanksgiving! Was really nice that they could have that time with Mom.

Joyce was here at the beginning of 2009…and I believe I have a picture or two that she took then:
