2007-2008, Grandot's Blog

This blog is now dedicated to the memory of Dorothy Cochrane by her elder daughter, Scottie. I started it for her in the summer of 2007. Mom turned 90 on June 30, 2008, reaching her last big goal. She fell on July 3rd and suffered a brain injury that took her peacefully away on July 6th, surrounded by her children. I will continue the blog as a way of keeping in touch with friends and family who enrich our lives every day, but are dispersed to the four corners.

June 7, 2008 we arrive in Baia Mare to meet Alina's family


Then up the hill to Victor's (Alina's father), big 10-year old house with a huge garden and orchard behind the house just at the foot of the mountains.

The BEST sweet, dark cherries you can imagine.


FIRST we had a fantastic, all home-cooked Romanian meal with Victoria, Alina's mother. Her top-floor apt. in the city of Baia Mare (it means 'Big Mine' for the ancient gold and other heavy metal mines going back to Roman times) has views of the Carpathian mountains. This was a strategic center for millenia.
