Welcome back!

          May peace, tranquility and health accompany you every day. Warm greetings from Casa Ray - Dobreni - Romania.

          August and September were very busy for us, you can see this even after the "speed" with which we come to you with the monthly reports :)

          August, being the last month of summer and implicitly the last month of holiday, was marked by 2 camps, one for young people aged 14 and over and one for children. With God's help, because this year the restrictions were less during the summer, these camps could be organized.

          The young people were in the INTEGRO camp from Targu Mures, a dream location for the camps, during which time they enjoyed together all the facilities offered, but also the moments of socialization. This camp, however, will surely remain in their memory due to another fact, namely, an epidemic of enterocolitis, which in turn affected almost all participants in the camp - 70 people. The organizers turned into nurses and in turn, all those affected spent a night and a day in the room, hoping that everything would pass as soon as possible. The pictures do not betray this aspect at all, but only show the cheerful part of the camp. (pictures 1-6)

          The children were in Izvoare locality, in Neamt county, closer to home and due to the exemplary way in which the leaders were organized, they had many pleasant activities. When they got home, they kept talking about it. (pictures 7-10)

          And, because there were 4 children left at home who did not fall into the age categories of the 2 camps, we organized an outing with all the children at Mc Donald's, at which time we "celebrated" the end of the holiday and the beginning of school. (pictures 11-13)

          Other pleasant events were certainly the anniversaries. Six in number or… even seven..somehow :) We don't know how to categorize one of the anniversaries, because in fact it is the birth of a new member of the Gavril family. In the family of Gavril Matei and Madalina, a boy named Mișael Daniel was born, who brought great joy, arriving home on the very day when father Mihai - grandfather Mihai Gavril celebrated his 71st birthday. (pictures 14 – 16) The other anniversaries were of Ionel, who turned 18, then Mirabela - 14 years old, Vasile - 17 years old, Gabriela - 14 years old and Laura - 11 years old. Driving licenses and identity cards from now on :) (picture 17)

          We also want to include visitors in the category of pleasant events, with whom we were very happy, which we missed almost completely a year ago, in 2020. Thomas from Germany, together with his family, Bobi and Anuta Dolha from America, together with his family, George Gavril from America, an old friend of father Mihai, Michael and Michaela, two good friends and collaborators from Germany, Mihail and Cristian, two of the children raised at Casa Ray, who came to visit with their friends. Towards the autumn we also received the visit of our friends from Ireland, who did not forget us this year either. Also, Arvid and Frank from Germany visited us, who brought us kitchen furniture, clothes, shoes and other necessary things, new friends from the Suceava area paid us a short visit and blessed us with potatoes, which we completely missed, friends from Pascani also blessed us with clothes. We thank everyone for the support and help they give us unconditionally, for the love with which they do all these deeds. (pictures 18 - 24) In our turn, after selecting the clothes, shoes and other goods and taking what we needed for our children, we made joy to other families in need. But from the gift it becomes heaven. (picture 25)

          Another joy was the success of Doinita, who became a driver. Congratulations Doinita and God protect you every time you get in a car. (picture 26)

          We have another joy to tell you! Florin Dodita, who left the "nest" a year ago, on September 26 he married the beautiful Denisa. It was a joy for us to be with them at this event and we wish them all the best in the world, God keep them together until the last moment of their lives. (pictures 27,28)

          And if we keep talking about the holiday, let's also mention the beginning of school. September 13, 2021, nicely dressed, with flowers in hand, all the children started PHYSICALLY at school, because we don't know how long, because it is possible for the ONLINE to come again. (pictures 29,30). Then, once they returned home, they rushed to the lists with the necessary supplies and "ate Catalina's ears and time”. But in the end… a good job came out even if the warehouse was emptied. (pictures 30-31)

          Almost ready with the holidays, anniversaries, visits, weddings, let's tell you about the work done during this period: vegetables, hay, garden, put for the winter, and so on :) (pictures 32 – 41) We mention that the vegetables that appear in pictures 36, 40 and 41, are from our own harvest and are not the only ones. Thank God he made it grow! Also from my own production was the pig and the calf that we cut (pictures 42,43). We also had maintenance activities (pictures 44 - 47), cutting wood (picture 48), cutting hair and administering medicines 49) and a little relaxation. (picture 50)

          Wow, but that's it! How much I wrote… no one will ever read such "novels"… those who deal with translation have to do it :) But forgive me this time, I will try to come back sooner, to be more little to tell.

          We leave you well! Hugs!!
