    The new kitty in my life is named Belle.  Belle was rescued by Sarah Oswalt Jorges several years ago…but as sometimes happens, Sarah’s little daughter, Layne, is allergic to cats.  I’ve thought about what if and the agony of having to give up my cats because of an allergy…I can’t even go there in my… Read more

  • I slept like a log last night – getting the election – county and federal – overwith has dumped me into my peaceful mode.  Seems like every peaceful mode always has at least one safety pin that has come unfastened and pokes me every now and then…but today…nothing – peaceful – content.  A little over… Read more

  • Amalfi City/Amalfi Coast

         There is a difference.  Actually the Amalfi Coast was named after Amalfi but that is as far as my valuable information goes…I remember reading about it in my Rick Steeves tour book – which is an excellent tour book, I might add.  It is recommended that a tourist view the Amalfi Coast by… Read more

  • More Pompeii pics

    A ceiling A mill Look at the fresco in the background – unbelievable One of the walls of the city A perfect example of Pompeii streets.  We wondered several times if the grooves are from chariot wheels? Ceiling of an archway! I don’t know if you can see the bones in the fingers if you… Read more
