The Visa Fairies
So, I joined this online forum for people who are Expats in Italy. I have mentioned the site on here a few times and I have a link to it on the side of this page. Well, I would read about the Italian Bureaucracy, and people talking about getting a visa or a pdiS, or [...]
Sophia Lauren
This is a big “Thank You” to everyone who has been following Sophia’s Saga. I am proud to report that since I “stole” her back from the PdP, things have been great. Sophia is definitely happy here with us, and she does cute things every day that make us laugh.
She does, however, get into [...]
What Kind of American English Do You Speak?
Here is a fun quiz you can take to see What Kind of American English You Speak. I took the quiz and I scored 50% General American English, 40% Dixie (now there is a surprise!), and 5% YANKEE (now THAT is a surprise!) I realize this only adds up to 95%, but…I dunno…maybe the [...]
Fun Activity
From a meme I found on another blog. The girl I stole this idea from didn’t know what a “meme” was and well, neither do I. But, it is a fun activity.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
5. [...]
The PdP strikes again!
When I left you two days ago, the PdP had (first) said she was going to give Sophia (my dog) away, and (secondly) said she was going to sell her, but did I ever hear anything about the word STEAL? Nope - not until today! I heard her shrieky, ‘fingernails-down-the-chalkboard’-like voice and, for the first [...]
What Would You Do?
As much as I hate to send Luca down one blog entry and not have him at the top of my page, I feel I am obligated to share with you the story of a young neighbor of mine….This isn’t a good story, and it isn’t for the faint of heart…so proceed with caution.
I met [...]
WORLD - Meet Luca Toni
OK, So I know I am not the first person ever to see Italian Forward Luca Toni and have my mouth drop open. But, for those of you (and I am basically speaking to my American friends here) who aren’t familiar with soccer and even less familiar with the Italian team, let me tell you! [...]
My first taste…
I’ve been out of touch…
OK, so if you happen to look over the last few entries you will see there were one or two a day since I began this blog…which ok, was only a few days ago, but still, I was active; let’s give me credit for that. Anyway, it is time for me [...]
I’m one of "those" people!
I have never really been an “animal” person. True, I always did prefer dogs over cats, but I was just as happy looking at them from afar as I was owning one. But, recently I have been adopted. Notice I say “I” was adopted? A few days ago the most precious little puppy dog ever [...]
Our Bed and Breakfast
“We” have been busy working on the Bed and Breakfast. I feel I can claim labor here since they start pounding at 7:00 AM every morning. So much for my quiet Italian life! Also, I have gone shopping for tiles, bathroom stuff, and furniture! That is hard labor! Here are a few photos taken last [...]
