Hi.. been a crazy week. My home is protesting my move, 1st day I moved out my roof leaked, then 2 days later my dryer goes out.. it’s fine… all will be well. The couple who moved in seem to be a lovely couple, they will take good care of my home; I feel very lucky.

Now for the “fun stuff”.. I have found several fabulous flights to Paris and Barcelona; I believe tonight I will make my choice… all that Champagne is calling my name.

Speaking of Champagne, my son Dante says that is the obvious choice to name my blog… he may have a valid point and a “Gooood Eyyyye..deal”.

Need to find a dependable (and reasonable) cell phone service and more important a video calling service so I can keep my promise to my girls to call them once a week for a video call. I am looking forward to our calls, I hope to share with them the beauty of the places I visit.
