This is one of those times of the year when life takes over and blogging simply has to take a back seat for a little while, so this is just a quickie to wish you all a wonderful Christmas, to thank you all for reading, commenting, supporting and encouraging us during the year, and to hope that you all have a happy and healthy 2009. xx
Hi Amanda, thanks for commenting on my banner, yes it is very cold and due to get colder, this weekend they are calling for a artic freeze!! Some friends of my husband and I just moved back to the U.S from Vicenza and she is still talking about their time living in Italy, so I have fowarded her your blog site, I truly enjoy your site myself, be Blessed, Diana

I really enjoy being in Italy again through your writings. I would return in a heartbeat. I long for the smells and sights! (we were in Florence, Lucca, Manarola, and Monte San Savino for the month of October) Thank you. Best to you and yours in 2009 from Saskatchewan, Canada.

Have so enjoyed popping in from time to time in 2008 to visit your life and its charmed chaos that only comes from living in a Mediterranean country. I visit Bleeding Espresso sometimes as well, and enjoy it similarly. I look forward to reading more posts in 2009. Happy New Year, stay warm and well.

This post does not resemble what I was taught was a quickie. Since it's Christmas I will give you a go on this one.
Happiest of everything to all of you!
