winding down...

hi, all....we are packing up and ready to leave Rapallo.....had to by a gargantuan suitcase....not sure of the spelling but you get the idea!

all in all, it's been a great trip...the weather, people, countryside, antiquities......food, clothes, jewelry......all in all, Italian stuff is fun.....and sobriety is the nicest way to do it for sure...energy level is high...not one headache, mis-spoken word (well, maybe one or two), trip, fall, stumble, curse....

Lots of laughs..................at my mom's expense sometimes and at my expense a lot..............

I miss each and every one of you.....don't want to be gone this long again...miss my precious kids (all 6 of you)...and grand-dogs...and city, and even that pesky company......

In the meantime...leaving soon for Milan and then home to USA...will stay with Jeff and Karma for a day and fly in Thursday night......

Love you all......Mom
