Happy 11th Birthday Little Friend......

We shall call this post: Portrait of the Perfect Pup

As you may know, our little Fonz has had some health issues recently.




In the face of his somewhat-fragile health, I only needed to remind myself that "Love is a Verb." I love him every day and he loves me right back.




We have our little chats in the morning along with his belly rub. (This is when he reminds me that Life is Good : )



We have fun playing the "Ring the bell to go outside only to want to instantly come back inside Game." (Here is where he helps me understand the true virtue of patience.)




He is also known as "Velvet Ears." Here he reminds me that all of the Earth's creatures are truly magnificent in their own way.



And here is, quite possibly, my favorite part of his fabulous self....his Frito Feet. With his dainty (maybe stinky?) feet, he reminds me to keep moving- to keep on keeping on! To get out and about and have fun!



Happy Birthday Little Man, may you have many more. We love you through and through.....except maybe the Z-Lady, but she does seem to tolerate you better these days....that's progress. Just stick around a few more years so you can reel her in! : )

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...
