January 1, 2016

Arrived back in the States on the 30th.  My wonderful year in Italy is over.  I will be writing more about my year, especially the last few weeks.  Was too busy getting ready to leave to write -‘but there are still a few stories I need to tell about.  Also want to continue a bit telling about the characters in our neighborhood and beyond.  

My wish for each of you would be to be able to accomplish the top things on your Bucket List. A  year in Italy was my number one wish and I will always be glad I pushed thru my fears and did it.  A million thanks go to Andy for agreeing to go, as it would have been financially impossible without a roommate to share the expenses.  And, if you don’t have a Bucket List….2016 is a good year to start making one.  I’ll be back soon with some more stories. Thanks to all of you for following along with me this past year.  I hope I have enriched your life a bit by telling a few good stories.  Talk to you later….
