Saffron Growing Indoors

For Good answer

I was reminded of "my" boarding children for whom I was a hen-brood hen (read - the interpreter-escort) for a month in Italy. I accompanied a group of completely itself is already maturing adolescents, plus theirs mustachioed forty-with-odd-year-old teacher, who was sitting in the evenings by taking us to the hospitable Italians (I am still in love & in touch with them) and knocking over a glass or two of grappa posletrapeznoy, shone in my face oily little drunk eyes.
Italians, unsophisticated and mental elderly couple originally from Sicily, moved north in search of a better life in the seven-eighties, were kindness itself: it is, a mother of two Italian sons and one receiver for the month of the year Belarus, fed us lunch and dinner from five to six meals - pasta, chicken with potatoes, vegetables, or simply in a salad, then salami, cheese, and then 2.3 varieties, fruits, and finally, coffee and dessert. And the crown of all - limoncello or grappa, or birthmarks Belarusian nastoechki, wherewith dazzled His troops impromptu bar-locker in the corner of the living room. All children who came felt obliged to bring from Belarus as a souvenir (read - The subject of barter): 1) a bottle of vodka / liqueur (border guards are not surprised), 2) a crystal swan / bowl / set of wine glasses, wrapped in "Komsomolskaya Pravda". Children went back to double baggage of shmotok and equipment donated for the most part really lyubivshimi their Italian parents. "Kids" is, which orphanage has already set up that nothing in life is not so easy to do, not particularly lowering his voice, discussing what "italyashki simply tax exempt, if you do charity work, so they benefit us to invite, so let and unwind at the loot. " None of these children in the eye did not call their waiting - let's provisional - Italian parents at least by name. Most called them "master", "mistress", and this - God knows - was not dependent on the degree of soulfulness "owners". These here were "children".
With one of the guys ezdivshego times ten to the above older couple, I keep in touch, I know its been 14 years, one month He is 22. Social orphans - "disfranchised rights, lived in a boarding school, then studied at the" hobze, then sort of worked, then do not like, then got kind of housing in agro-town, and then did not seem to have received, such as what kind of cross. Came to us as something to visit on New Year's Eve, we from time to time at the request of his Italian helped him with all kinds of visa-road questions, offered to move to the big city, get a job, a profession he was a good, but it's something pulling. Recently called and told me that the plunge - somebody out there, they stoned the company is not broke, but the ladder was lowered, the person granted the status of the disabled as a result of - Criminal case. I do not know how it will end, but honestly - I was expecting something like that, very much such a life "on the concepts of" sucks. Do not rush them are in this wilderness and get stuck in a person's life, which is already over 20, and let him through life not lucky with the parents, but that throw life moments for a good re-start is not used?
Another was a girl-girl - not likely a girl, that somehow by itself got under my strict guidance during the trip and wrote to me after thereof a couple of letters, to demonstrate its complete innocence (and ignorance), interspersed with teenage orphanage borzostyu. But they are very strong and in good felt her desire for intercourse (the guy was not like this, it just basically show up and spoke, when he had to). I told her the first time, unsubscribe, and a letter mine was a sincere and good, but on her second letter as a hand have never reached to answer ...
A few years ago. And I think - and I had only one way to go and, and second, and give them a piece of soul? Because then if the girl had been baked onto me, she was uncomfortable when I disappeared from the horizon? Or she was neither hot nor cold, as the "masters"? And what about the guy who should or should not, and I do not know, can not or do not want to help, because it is obvious that he goosey, and if you pull out now, most likely, and next time come?
tame - it is easy, but even a little tame have to answer at least to himself.
Although, of course, nothing binding.
