Things I want to remember as 2008 grows old.

Breakfast of Champions

Our first breakfast in Italy.....in Orvieto. Espresso, croissant, honey....more espresso.

Lawn dining

Picnic-ing on lawn at our villa. View of vineyards was glorious.

Castellina in Chianti

Wonderful little town, tons of small alleys. Outstanding gelato!

Tuscan countryside

View from ramparts at Voltera

So patient...

Sun in his eyes, John waits so patiently while I fiddle ENDLESSLY with the camera.

Mamma Mia!

Our visit to Volterra.....on the recommendation of a lovely English couple we met at dinner. Those girls had it right. A lovely town.

Il Querceto

Our villa in Tuscany.....2 whole weeks of eating, sleeping, knitting, running, lounging poolside. The best vacation we've had in years and years! We live to visit again!

The Pines of Rome

Respighi had it right!

'nuff said

Some things need no words.

Great Zeus!

What Italians can do with stone......so smooth! Must have been all those lusty Italian women rubbing all over it.

pumpkin art

Some of the designs done for this year.

Dinah-mo!

Dinah, the best cat, loves cuddles....especially from John. She waits at the window for him to return from work. Kitchen cuddles are best, food to follow.

Aran Sweater

Finally done......good therapy, great relationship managment tool (just shut up and focus). Audrey wears it well
