wonderful place.

> husband, Virgil, and wife, Tabbitha, are fun, friendly and supportive.  We 
> live in an upscale house, and the care providers do all the housework.  We 
> girls like to go shopping on weekends, and I think there is more freedom 
> for the providers to take us some places we want to go.  For instance, 
> they allowed me to stay with them today so I could set up my email.  I 
> just had to go to town with them, but it was fun.  Tabbitha took me into 
> town again to try to get another adapter, or another phone, so I can have 
> a working amplifier.

> language too.

> All of us seem to be Christian.  The Iovu's, (the providers' last name), 
> go to a Pentecostal Rumanian church.  I went with Tabbita the first Sunday 
> night, to see what it's like, the music and all.  Too bad they don't speak 
> English, or I speak Rumanian, or I'd continue to go with them!  they have 
> a mixture of their native music and our music.  But I only recognized one 
> song: "Drinking from the Springs of living waters."

> Well, I think I'll stop for now; I want to go to bed early, and get up 
> early to work on music.

> Have a great Easter weekend!

> I have something exciting to share with you.  Please stop by for a visit!
