Round and round we go......



The following excerpt is from an actual conversation in which I recently had the joy of participating- the names have been changed to protect the obnoxious:

Caller (in English):
Allo? Allo? This is Marco.

Me: Hello Marco.
Caller: Yes, I think I have your husband's cell phone.
Me: (continuing in English as the caller started it!) Well, that's not possible because my husband does not have a cell phone.



Caller: This is Marco, I have his cell phone.
Me: Marco, he does not have a cell phone.


Caller: Yes, because I have the cell phone.
Me: Marco, he does not own a cell phone.


Caller: I think he left it here in my shop.
Me: (in Italian) Marco, he does not own a cell phone!
Caller: Oh, yes, then I don't know to who it is?
Me: Okay, have a great day, thanks for calling.
Hang up.


The carousel pictures were taken in Strasbourg, France. We went to visit my french family and had a wonderful time. I honestly had forgotten that Strasbourg is so beautiful. More pictures to come.

So glad you disclosed your intention to protect the obnoxious ~ I couldn't tell. He doesn't need to be protected. Maybe shock treatments would help. It is just too funny about this guy.
Love the photo of the girls enjoying your visit to France. Thanks for keeping up with the blog. We never tire of reading about your adventures and seeing pics of you and yours! Love you and miss all of you.

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...
