Il ritorno

Four degrees at 7:30am (oh yes the children are home, so it's an early morning!). Misty but with blue skies above.

Here's the view from Carmine Superiore yesterday morning, with the mist lying low over the lake almost completely obscuring Maccagno, on the opposite shore of the lake.

The serenity of my life here changed dramatically in the afternoon. Yes, my husband and two little ones came, tumbling out of the car all flushed faces and garlic breath. They saw me, cried "Mama", and ran to me with open arms. The violins played, Mama wept and then we all wandered home through the woods as the sun set.

Who needs the Hollywood scriptwriters? I've got real life.

What a view Louise! What a nice retelling of your reunion! You see? I told you they would run to you. No Hollywood. Only real happy life. I'm so glad I get to read about it. Happy for you also that the family is all home and safe and sound. P.S. I was telling the ladies at my gym club yesterday all about your leap year post. I sounded quite the scholar thanks to your good prep. Thanks. It isn't often I'm looked at with admiration.
