A LITTLE OF THIS....

AND A LITTLE OF THAT!!

MINE, MINE, MINE (actually, ours, ours, ours)...
we are the proud owners of OUR OWN Italian car...no more rentals!!


3 1/2 months of Italian bureaucracy and rental cars and we are now "legal"... we've got all the documents we need to buy a car!  Whew!!

Gary, me, and our friend, Filipo Nibbi (a very famous Italian poet and 
actor) in front of a blooming apricot?, plum?, cherry?  tree in the hills outside of Bologna...it was a lovely spring day!

a view of the loggia in our main piazza...note the banner with the Pope's picture on it...it's an Easter greeting.

If you look to the left, seated at the table, you can see that husband of mine, drinking a compari!!








white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate...almost too beautiful to eat!



okay, I know everything grows wild somewhere,
but I was surprised to see wild irises among
the weeds on the side of the road!

 

Cousins Rino and Tina ooo-ing and
ahhing over this egg!!

                                                                

This is my favorite pink tree...

Sooooo, nature, spring, chocolate, Tina & Rino, compari,  pink trees, blue flowers, and

a car...a few of my favorite things!
