Italy & Greece 101




You thought I was going to give you a quick lesson on my summer trip to Italy and Greece? 
No, I was just stating the temperature while we were there. 

That's me and my elementary-high school classmate Heather in Athens. 
We had a fabulous time and learned WAY more than should be allowed on one trip.  

My advice, don't wait. These trips won't get any easier. 

The King's Birthday.


I remember a little bit about when he was born. I was 5 you know. Not all memories were lost during college.  Anyway, I remember getting a giant doll, that could wear my baby clothes. I guess this was my consolation prize. If nothing else, I could play house with all the "stuff" Mom had gotten as gifts for this new family member. I also remember all the years following that we fought and argued. I barely remember playing together peacefully. But I wouldn't trade him for a prize of any kind these days. He's grown into a wonderful person, husband and friend. He's loyal and sarcastic, both to a fault. But I will admit he's mine. Baby Brother turned 30 in June.
