A comfortable room greets your senses, almost seeming to welcome you and invite you to sit. The faint strains of a harp can be heard wafting through the air. A radiator beneath a window helps to keep the room pleasantly warm or cool as the seasons change. Couches and comfortable chairs provide conversational seating for roughly a dozen people. A low table hosts a variety of blocks, crayons, coloring books, and other means to keep children amused and occupied. The comics from the Sunday LA Times and a National Geographic rest on the coffee table.
