Spring....

When I was driving to a nearby town yesterday, I saw two dogs playing along the side of the road. They were joyfully celebrating spring- jumping all around and sniffing everything. As I passed them, I realized they weren't dogs. They were two small, brown, hairy, little pigs! They romped in the grass a while longer and then got spooked when a moped whizzed along. They quickly darted back into their farm.

Spring has sprung here in Italy, although my laundry sustained some hail damage today!

We have been joyfully celebrating spring...minus the sniffing : )

Smile! The Easter Bunny and the babies. What a happy day they had and so many questions, does he talk, where does he live, who is the lady in the flowered dress? and on and on. The ladies look lovely in their beautiful yellow dresses, ready for spring. And spring is indeed here in Italy as well as home. Enjoy the lovely weather as it comes. Love you all. Nannio

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...
