Love is in the Air
Is it just me or do warm weather, light breezy winds and springtime flowers bring out the best in people? Earlier this week I went to teach my weekly private English lessons. I was almost at the door when I was handed these.
“Someone gave them to me yesterday,” the mom told me. “And I want to [...]
Love Means Never Buying Your Wife Fat Pants
It is just no one told my husband.
Last week marked my SIX MONTH wedding anniversary, and while both my mom and Pep’s dad made fun of us for celebrating, we did anyway. We had a nice romantic dinner. He bought me roses. We reminisced about our wedding day. He gave me fat pants.
I kid you [...]
Hugs are in the Mail!
When breezing through downtown Catanzaro last week I passed a lovely house, with the most heart-warming mail box attached to the door. I have walked this street many times, always failing to notice this proud display of love, happiness, and surely, kindness!
And, isn’t it lovely?
It made me wonder what type of mail a person with [...]
The Side Effects of Love
Love can make your heart beat a little faster…
It can make your hands shake or your head spin…
It can make you feel warm all over.
Kinda like this.
Isn’t it comforting to know love really is all around? Last weekend Peppe and I stopped in at Bar Centrale in downtown Catanzaro Lido for a quick cap before [...]
I Now Present to You
the new Mr. and Mrs…
Isn’t that fun to say?? I mean, uh, write??
It is!
It is!
And, on this, our two month anniversary, it only seems fitting.
Well, as you know good-ole-dad was able to attend the wedding, and other than a few centerpiece mishaps, a Maid of Honor shoe issue, and Peppe totally hating the tie I [...]
"All Because Two People
fell in love…”
This is one of the newest “wedding expressions” out on the market, and, while I must admit it does remind me somewhat of a sappy old Brad Paisley cawntrey song…it is nice to hear, especially when planning one’s wedding.
I also liked
“And, They Lived Happily Ever After!”
But, ultimately fell for
“Fall in Love…”
Get it?
A “Fall” [...]
Going to the Chapel
Birds are singing and bees are buzzing - love is in the air. As in America, summer is the season of love, and with that love, comes marriage, and before you know it, a baby carriage.
Oh, wait. I got ahead of myself.
Anyway, you might remember a few weeks ago when I was lamenting over a [...]
"Till Death Do us Part"
… what a SCARY concept! Yuck. I mean who wants to think about the dead, dying, and death on the happiest day of their lives? Not me! I want to think happy thoughts…positive thoughts…
Why not say instead “forever” or “for always” or even “forever and ever and always?” I’m just saying…It certainly isn’t a very [...]
Un Segno di Dio
I have a confession to make.
Noooo, it’s not nearly as tragic as my last confession, but, it’s pretty darn interesting all the same.
You see, last Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day here in Catanzaro. So bellissimo, in fact, that Pep and I did something we rarely do…
We skipped church.
Not only did we skip church, but [...]
Drop the Cake, Mister!
Most expats, at some point or another, end up teaching English. It’s a fairly easy way, especially if we focus on “Conversational English,” to earn a little extra cash for the important things in life…shoes, sunglasses, new handbags…you name it!
When we are really lucky, and so far I have been, we become friends with our [...]
