OK....yes I am having wine...but really its quite amazing. If I had better than a digital camera I could take some awesome photos.
Before I die..I want to go to cooking school somewhere and Brooks school of photography..oh and flower arranging school...... learn how to make goat cheese from two gay guys in SF.. read a story about them once..... and learn how to fly a plane..and sail a boat.....and much much more.
But I will be happy and settle for just having my family around me.......this house is such a family place. I can envision all of you guys here.......cooking having fun..picking stuff from our garden.... fruit from the trees......the kids collecting eggs from the chickens....having fun milking our nanny goat...swimming in our pool.
My dream is to have you all here at one time.....planning......you all know who I mean... who I want......Rebecca start planning...if it takes two yrs....we will all be here together at least once.
I think we have done most of what we can accomplish this trip...I am happy that we got so much done. In a country that takes yrs to do what we did in 2 months...I am for sure happy.
You should all see Gino with his pizza oven......I think I will cremate him in there( a family joke) he just loves it..cleans it all the time..has bought jugs..pizza plates and all kinds of stuff..he is running out of room....but oh how happy he is. Cleans it everyday..has his morning coffee and smoke there.....its so funny.
We finally dug my convertible Saab out of storage...and I get to drive it for a month......I am so happy......Gino just complains about how much it is all costing us.....but as I say almost daily...you only live once...I think!
After sunset we went to our local country church that's was having its yearly festival....picture this smallish church with a huge field and hundreds of people milling around....some sitting and chatting...all ages..tons of kids. Food of the night was sausage sandwiches beer or soda.....quite good actually. We took Gino's parents who had a great time...there was Sicilian folk music with dancing....we sat next to a nice couple with their grandson who was intrigued by my accent. They live nearby and invited us for ice-cream. Isabella even enjoyed it!
Monday morning..we need to make an appearance at someones funeral.....get my car insured....get the electric put in our name at this house...go to the market for a little shopping. Its all go here.........but at a different pace. Today most places are closed half the day.......a normal day here is shop between 9-1...eat and siesta 1-4...things re-open at 4 till 8 or 9. Its the sales here....most stores........clothing mainly have up to 70% off. Which sounds great...but good stuff here is very high to begin with and with our $ worth NOTHING.....even at 70% off...you still consider if its worth it. Many times I can talk myself out of most things...telling myself..oh I can get that or similar at Target or Ross......but I did manage to find a ton of stuff for Oliver..Poppy & Daphne...ssssshh
OK enough...I need to go feed Donald & Daphne.
