I Love to Learn

Right now, I have three teachers in my life who teach me more than I ask them for - Michael, Robin, and David, in no particular order.

Michael and Robin consider me "family" and are teaching me my German at my request as a friendly sideline. We all have a relationship of long standing which dates back to EP, and share everything we can think of.

David is a latecomer, who I met in moving to Bon Villa Apartments (Oak Park, Il.) He is a quiet gentleman who I consider my prince and a wonderful teacher in many ways. He has taught me how to fix things and shift for myself when necessary. I had to learn the hard way NOT to say "I need" in front of him, because he has brought home milk and bread at various times, also paper goods. He waits with me for the delivery girl from Pete's Market and helps me take everything upstairs to my door (last week, he even paid her the tip for delivery). He takes out my out mail and brings packages from the closet downstairs (I have done the same for him). He takes out my trash, my recycables and bags from Pete's (which he returns). Sunday night I left all these at my front door and Monday everything was gone again. He shows me how to judiciously shop on the Internet and fixes my PC when necessary.

We have become good friends in only four months, and he looks after me as only a downstairs neighbor can do for another resident.
It´s so touching and reassuring to know, that you are so well looked after by David and that you both become friends in such a short time. I am really happy for you my dear sisterheart. Thanks for this post and your kind words about me :*

@RobinPhoenix Danke, mein kleiner Bruder. Und why should I not say wundervoll words about you, und Michael? You both care about me und what I say und do. You are interested in me und I feel your outrage over things that go badly fuer me.

As for David - he ist excellent. As I write this reply, I am waiting fuer him to come upstairs this Morgen und he will help me select a twin window fan online fuer insertion in mein casement. Of course, I have already chosen one, but I want his ideas first. If he agrees, I will proceed. He may be able to find something better that I may have missed.
