It has been a long time!!




Unfortunately, bad weather has kept us from exploring Romania like we want to. We have gone to visit Joe's sister Cialla (pronounced Sheila). She and her husband Attila have two boys just bookending Declan's age! The boys got on great! Cialla lives outside Tigru Mures. The country side around there is very beautiful with huge hills and many lakes. In their village, the people mostly speak Hungarian, so my new limited ability for Romanian was useless. Of course, as most family reunions are, there was great food and a lot of laughing. Here they don't have BBQ's or grilling machines, so they grill food over fire, outside. You know, is was less mess and hardly any clean up. I guess some things are better the Romanian way.
