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.

Spring break whirlwind!

I am sorry that I haven't posted this week. Diesel, I am so glad you figured out how to leave comments- we commented back on some of them! It was good to hear from you. I will try and do a catch up and post and then try to post more regularly next week...when time slows down, again. Nanny, I hope you made it home okay. The little engines were asking about you all day. We went over how you will be back, several times. I think they get it : ) Of all the weeks we have had here in Italy, I can honestly say, none of them have gone fast- except this past week. We drove Nanny to the airport this morning and it seems like we were just there to pick her up! This time, we went the right direction and it took much less time, fancy that. (You would think that with a map and a car we would be okay, but it is seriously difficult to get around here. You have to know several towns past your destination town that might be marked on the signs and then might not be. For example, you want to go to Ven...

S-LOVE-enia

We went to a tulip festival My Man wanted to visit- he loves tulips (little-known fact) and he really LOVES Slovenia! Really. When we are there he makes comments like, "These are my people." Hilarious. Of course there were rows and rows of flowers, but it was in a lovely park with walking trails and activities for children. The cultural differences between Italy and Slovenia are obvious. The children WAITED in line for a turn to play on the dinosaur. Oh, and before that, there were people in the parking lot helping festival-goers park in an orderly fashion.

Italian Pottery

Once upon a time, we were on a mission to a town called Nove. We knew it was Wednesday afternoon and therefore some stores might be closed. We knew that we didn't have the exact store names. We knew that it would be several hours' drive away. We were on a mission to find beautiful Italian pottery . Some of you may know that My Man is 1/2 Italian. His grandmother did a bit of painting in her time. Sure, she was Italian, and sure she was painting on ceramics, but that isn't exactly what we had in mind . She would buy the white ceramic pieces and then paint them...no we were looking for something more in the line of "art." So, we set off. Aunt D is our trusty navigator- always. It is very difficult to navigate here and she really does a wonderful job. Uncle Crusty was at the wheel- he also does a great job. It's not easy to "just drive" while all the other eyes in the car try and figure out which way to go. As he says, he knows he's in trouble whe...
