Have you had a great feast of music?
Here, at least in Deva, it does not exist ...
Since then, a month, I'm just going into the neighborhoods, and I miss it a bit. We had a lot of passes, and strangely, it's still my day of service and so far the kitchen! I perfected recipes in Romanian So!
We've also been busy with our grandmothers. One with whom we have the Orthodox Easter celebrations.
A month ago, there was a pilgrimage organized by the Parish to be the most famous Marian Romania (at least among the Hungarians who make up the majority Catholic country). At the last moment we joined the group. Depart Friday at midnight to arrive in the morning and leave late afternoon after arriving in the night, sport is not it? There was
enormenent people, the crowd was composed of Hungarian (the only language spoken in this region of Romania is Hungarian) from Romania and elsewhere. At the microphone, a priest announced that some were even from Argentina, United States and France, people who knew us have immediately understood that we were there, no other foreigners in this place possible!
It was nice to see people full of motivation and faith, a long drive for a day at this place. Some came on foot or by bicycle. Traditionally
has every Pentecost (when the rally), it was pouring rain. People say it is the Spirit who blesses and actually, we were very blessed to the bone!
somewhat frozen so we were looking forward to our bed, but it was not written like that ...
On the way back, here is our Tanti Victoria (grandmother of whom I have spoken, but she was Orthodox romania came to see her son, who converted to Catholicism and became a priest), here it feels so bad, very bad. She was doing a stroke ...
Heureusemenr, we got to where we Deva bus queue in the hospital. After
auscultation and infusion, here we are with her in neurology. Completely terrified, she did not want left alone. Anyway, since the service is not the best, not SONET, nurse and caregiver for some standby until there is nothing slips into the pocket ... state of health ....
So I stayed with them.
While we take turns with her, she quickly got better and is finally out after 10 days. His son
but it came in Hungary and has no other children. She lives alone in a beautiful village in the mountains where most people get their water from wells, have chickens and a garden well maintained.
She could not back yet. We have taken from us about ten days time it gained strength and confidence.
Cohabitation has not been easy every day. They had us do with her habits and she has had to adapt our life a little hectic and very foreign to her. But we learned a lot with her and then once we had found a yard in agreement, it was nice to have a grandmother at home!
Then I went home with her his village to help a little while to restart. I liked the country life, feeding the animals, fetching water from wells, make good soups and other dishes, strolling in the sun, read and write and all that this beautiful setting (I'm showing you as soon as possible with photos).
When I got home, a surprise waiting for me .... the girls had adopted a baby magpie falls in oil machine. Decidedly, we all had receuillons Point Heart ... You can imagine the stuff that makes noise, must be fed and pooped everywhere ... Monette is happily in love birds!
Our dogs seem interested in our new breakfast of course! While
I was in the country, Ilona, the wife of Anton was saying Sunday Mass, a month after his death. The girls were present, then invited to the meal that followed.
I was very disappointed not to have was there.
Monday morning, the phone rings at 9:30, Ilona is waiting for me at home immediately. She receives and serves me a meal of the day, meat, sarmale (feast dish, cabbage stuffed with meat), without forgetting the cake tsuica (traditional plum alcohol) and coffee!!
It touches me deeply, she had a difficult life where she experienced the separation (his family is away), the death of many relatives and disease and yet she is not bitter, however, she possesses a strength and a impressive energy. Right now, she is being changed, renovate and clean the entire house.
is if we just say, very beautiful. That
for today. I entrust to you the five deacons of Heart priests who will come Sunday Toulon. Martha is there with all those consecrated work.
And Saturday, I'm waiting for a friend who after a visit to Point-heart will be with me a little tour of a week of Romania! I'll tell you how beautiful it was!
Good day and happy holidays to those who leave already.
