It’s possible that ‘Boun Natale’ is “Merry Christmas” in Italian, and there’s an even chance that ‘Vrolijke Kerstmis’ means the same thing, but in Dutch. Of course, we visited Italy and The Netherlands in July, so we really didn’t get a chance to confirm that first hand. 😉 Whatever the language, we wish everyone […] For those of you eagerly awaiting the start of the school year … well … you’ll have to have some Ice Cream first. Saturday marks the return of Jocelyn & Felicia’s annual “Ice Cream Specials” tradition, tentatively set for 2:00 – 4:00 pm at our House. As usual, the girls will be selling scoops of […] Well, our fabulous European holiday to Italy and The Netherlands has come to an end.

And some of it was quite memorable — but perhaps for wrong reasons. 😉 As mentioned before, our jetlag experience in Rome resulted in an early early morning power stroll through Rome. All told, we walked more than 5.7 Km in search of touristy […] Early in the planning stages, we declined to make a special trip to Pisa just to see the famous leaning tower.
