Now that's Italian (with a lot of French)

We are home safe and sound. I love to travel but I am always HAPPY to arrive back home.

We had some pretty incredible adventures. We met so many warm, loving people both in France and Italy (even MODA)! This will be a short post with some pics. I still need to do the laundry that I started early this morning.

This was taken from a hilltop in San Remo, Italy. This city is gorgeous! And the food.....mama mia!

We had the opportunity to visit the fete du Citron in Menton. The theme was around the world in

80 days. Notice Jules Verne? The novel is 140 years old, the festival has been celebrated for 80 years.

I have to tell you that it was a highlight for me. Everything made from oranges and lemons. So imaginative!

This was taken in Antibes. It is one of my favorite pics. The gentleman looking out the window has the best view. Big sigh. Hehe.

We ate,

visited markets through the south,

and participated in Carnaval in Nice.

The best thing however, was spending time with the gentleman below....

my handsome hubby. I treasure our time together and the memories we made.

So, that is our trip in a nutshell. It is good to be back (home and blogging).

big hugs,

Barb



Way too long!

 

Well, It has been WAY TOO LONG. The last time I blogged was

in August, 2012. To be honest with you, the desire kind of left.

I believe the desire is returning. I know I will not be posting as often as I

used to......like everyday, but the posts will be coming. Maybe once a week.

 

The photo above was taken in Nice, France. Hubby and I are there right now.

It is 4:30 a.m. and I am wide awake. I have slept like a baby for the past few

days. Tonight when I woke up at 3, I felt the need to begin blogging again.

So much for sleep..Hehe.

 

So much has happened since August, good and not so good. Thank God

the good outweighs the bad. I have had some interesting opportunities

come across my path. I think life does become sweeter the older we get.

 

Well dear ones, here is what I hope will be my return to blogging,

I have missed you.

 

Hugs and lots of love,

 

Barb

 

P.S. Jeff is still in the Army but I can't really discuss him (I hate that) and

J.W. is now 30 (can you believe that?!!!)

 

Hopefully, this will post. Blogger seems to have changed so much!
