Sigh...I am officially jealous of your summer.  It sounds fabulous!  And medicating w/red wine and limoncello is the right way to go ;). Welcome back to our side of the world, Marci. Hope re-entry is not too rough.

Hey Priscilla,
Re-entry is no fun, let me just say!  I'm already planning next summer...and Sara--I WAS joyful--for the first time in a long time.  Did I mention the wine and limoncello?

What a great summer you have had! I don't think I could get that much stuff done in a year, let alone in 6 weeks. I like the smile, and the arm gesture, too.  8)

Welcome back.

Marci,
So glad to hear your time in Italy was enjoyable and productive. You look so happy in your pic! Did you bring some of that limoncello back?
Hope you keep the joy and keep the memories fresh :)
Welcome back to reality >:( Sorry but it's the truth, huh?

Re:, the arm gesture, I was just trying to keep my balance while the two little girls tried to knock me over.  Though in the end it looked quite graceful, it didn't start out that way.
Ciao tutti,

Hi Marci,

Did you run into Andrea Boccelli or any of my husbands relatives  ;)  Oh it sounds like you had the time of your life.  How about you coming to visit me in Sept so you can serenade Louie and I for our 25th Wedding Anniversary?  I can hear you now! 


Felicita,
