Good morning Julie I hope your visit with your nonni went well. <3 We are Sicilian too. I bought the house my nonno lived in most of his life.   He lived in his own section of the house in his later years. He tripped over a hose (i think) and took a bad fall on the front steps one day when he went out to check the mail. He had been telling us how tired he was for a long time. He never recovered from that, we lost him in 2007. Best guy I've ever known and I too feel so grateful he was such a big part of my life. It's such a gift. I was never a "cat person" either but Russell is, so we got two (yes, i'm allergic). I still wish I could have a dog.. but I adore them. Sounds like you're having more fun at work than should be allowed. lol

Flo is knocking on the door and I can feel my resolve to make better choices being tested. I never noticed that so much in my younger years but boy I notice the chemical balance in myself around this time of the month now. Watch out! haha

However, i'm prepared today and I have a weekend of painting my new bathroom, cleaning, laundry and working in the yard on the agenda!
