------------------------------------------------------------------
still taking my time getting thru "a thousand days in tuscany"..its taken me a long time..cuz my ME time has been slashed cuz of wedding season. even caleb asked me tonight, "you're STILL not done that book"..i think its been 3 months.. duuuuuuude.. i got to get it done. book 3 should be even more interesting!
(i picked up book one, a thousand days in venice, at the library just after my trip a year ago. then this last may i found it in victoria with book two and book three - all matching. so i bought them all... )
it has made me shift my thinking of a year ago, after my trip to italy, of wanting to have a place IN venice, to having a place outside venice, one day. close enough that i can get there in an hour or two by car. as i read my book, i'm captured by the rugged historic towns that the one marlena and her husband live in, in tuscany. that sort of town-like feeling. but close enough to a busy city..cuz we all know i AM a city girl. :) but as i get older, the quietness is becoming more and more appealing.. :)
one day we will have a place in italy.
one day. :)
