There wasn’t much left of November by the time we arrived home from our Italy trip. Especially when you factor in needing to unpack, wash two weeks of laundry, catch up on work, and have Thanksgiving.

We arrived in Florence at about 4 after a lovely drive from Montecatini. After we got everything to the room we headed to the dog park for a walk. It was a beautiful walk as our hotel was right on the river Arno near Ponte Vecchio. On the way back from the dog park we …
I knew that Italy, especially Florence, would give us opportunities to experience amazing art. My degree is in Fine Art, so I have seen a lot of beautiful Italian works in textbooks. Getting to see some of these works in person was astounding. It’s been several years since I’ve refreshed my knowledge – I was …

The factory has been …

We start the October playlist this year with a fun little pop bop called W.I.T.C.H. by Devon Cole. Apt. It’s catchy and the lyrics are fun and creative. The real story of this month is that we discovered YouTube Music has VEVO-style playlists of the top 100 songs and music videos from around the world. …
Since our last update there has been one weekend we were down. We had Jugo headaches and Daniel had a grease burn from making a roux for a black eyed peas and sausage soup he made. So we took a weekend and just rested at home. The soup was delicious. Our dog park friends helped …
Primošten is a village on the Adriatic coast of Dalmatia between Šibenik (to be explored) and Trogir (see Birthday Week Exploration).
