Oh lovely. Almond blossoms…it reminds me of the last time I was in southern Italy. I got there just in time to see the last few days. Bella. Love the Calabrese wisdom & wishing that someone recently had thought to leave a few words inside his brain. (A friend’s fiance. He’s probably wishing he had, too, but has not apologized.) And with that, back to writing about coffee love, Bleeding Espresso (it will be very grateful, we assure you:), & a cheer for the Steelers. Hey, if you can’t beat’em. Also so much work on human rights issues, it feels great to yell “crush’em!” & know that it’s OK. Hope your internet returns. Using dial-up all the time, it’s nearly like that for me so much empathy, bella.

Good weekend to all!

Wow almond blossoms already? We got another 11 inches of snow last night! I love the way those phrases just flow of the tongue and sound oh so romantic!!!! Deb R’s last blog post..A Story Seven Months in the Making… Yikes! That's a lot of snow! We've been getting lots of rain, but I suppose that's what makes the blossoms possible....

And on that third one: sometimes love is knowing when to keep your mouth shut!

Just Googled Twiggy she was in the late 60′s. We all thought that she was disgusting and need more help than just a good Italian Grandmother or two!

Hah, I imagine that’s what my Italian grandmother thought of her at the time too….
