Nanny's Villa



Sadly, Nanny isn't here to help us choose which of these fine properties will be posted for today's villa. She was due in today, but was stuck in Atlanta after her flight was delayed leaving Cleveland because of the snow! So, she was in the Ramada Inn, which might make these places look tempting. Percy and Gordon took the news pretty well, especially after Gordon was reassured that she could have a "welcome Nanny cupcake" anyway. (priorities, people) We eagerly await her arrival tomorrow morning. In the meantime, we bring you the latest villa option. (It is so much fun to spy these places and shout "Nanny's Villa" and then try to get a picture!) This one is at the end of our street. This is an expansive property- I wonder why it was abandoned?

JO.....
Soooooooo happy to get your note. We loved to hear from you. Haley says, "I love you." She just got up from her quiet time. Cid is knitting and Nanny is surfing. We wish you were here as well and can't wait for July. The local wine is suspect, but we have had some wonderful samples from other areas of Italia.

Have a Very Merry Un-birthday to you, to you....

The tallest of the small is 6.5 years old. We had the usual half-birthday fun. At school, on her half-birthday, one of her friends told her that half birthdays aren't real. She mentioned this to me when she got off the bus. Then she asked me if half birthdays are "real." Hmmmmm. "What do you think?" I asked her (love that parenting technique). Well, she explained that lots of people don't celebrate their half birthdays, most people probably. But since we do, they are real for us. Sounds good to me : ) You get to celebrate their lives twice as many times- how can I resist, besides, it involves CAKE people! Happy half-birthday!

One afternoon, we decided to go into Pordenone to walk around and check out the city, perhaps to have a tasty cappuccino. Sounds fairly simple....we set off in the morning and all went well until we got into the city. Driving here is like playing a video game, only if you hit a pedestrian, you are going to Italian jail for life. There are people walking, people riding bicycles, dogs running, cars, motor scooters, taxis, and buses with which to contend, not to mention one-way streets and the penchant for Italians to post 10 signs when we Yanks would only post one- maybe two if it were a really scary situation. No small task- also, there are usually two small folks in the seat behind me saying, "mama?" over and over again. Now you would think that Juney and I would have our Navigator/Co-pilot roles fairly well ironed out by now. That is also not quite the case- shall we say we need more practice with our roles? I think that would be fair, Nanny, no? I think this might be the on...
