Relief comes at every turn if you look in the right place, like Maricica imbibing at the horse trough, or the thrill of the blooming, short-lived sunflowers, or a walk/bike ride on a country road, or the garden's bounty, in this case 3000 onions.
 Birthday celebrations provide a welcome break & party games provide for friendly competition.... Visitors come occasionally, met with joy and love. Here Daniela is thrilled to see godmother Pauline & Mihaita gets to nuzzle our faithful supporter Eithne......................................................  |    Unwelcome breaks in the routine can force us to adjust plans, but even they offer a reason to praise God........ |    .......To the left, Ciprian is recovering from an appendectomy at the Galati county hospital. |
