I’ve been gone way too long from my blog and all my loyal and faithful readers. And yes, the Italy blogs are coming soon! I promise. In the past month, I have traveled to Italy, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco; and have a short cruise leaving from Miami coming up in a couple […]
A Sneak Peek of Italy
Ciao! Amico! Mi sei mancato molto! That means hello, friends – I have missed you so much! I returned from Italy last week only to have picked up a bug of some kind and have been sick since we returned. I promise the blogs are coming! I have so much to say and endless photos. […]
Tuscan Sun, Wine, Prada, and Pasta
Yes! I am going to Italy! My daughter Kristina and I are off on a culinary adventure tomorrow, and of course I am not all packed yet. Those of you who know me will not believe I am going to fly somewhere for 8 or more hours. My furthest trip so far has been to […]

I was chased by a goose while taking a walk at one of our forest […]

After this long, hot summer, the cool breezes have finally arrived- at least for awhile! This week is not only cooler, but there might even be a little frost at night.
