Postcards from...



Memaw (my mom) has been visiting from the States for the last couple of weeks and over the weekend she was more than happy to get rid of us pesky parents so that she could spend some quality time (aka treats, puzzles, the park, and staying up late) with the girls.  So, with 48 hours at our discretion... my guy and I high-tailed it to our favorite spot.... Italy.  The little harbor town of Portofino embodied everything we love about the other Italian cities we've visited.... incredible landscapes; warm, friendly people; amazing food (in this case pesto and focaccia to die for) and the delicious smell of blooming wisteria and citrus trees...  Portofino worked its magic in just the same way...
















More than any other.... Italy seems to have nestled its way into my heart and found a place to stay. 
'La Dolce Vita'.... indeed, 'Life is Sweet' there.
