What's going on in my life this weekend:
- Florence was amazing, but bloody cold
- Made it home (by the skin of our teeth)
- Most things made it safely
- Except the fresh porcini mushrooms - sadly they brought little visitors with them and had to be trashed (yuck!)
- And my Swiss Army card (with 0.5cm knife that has successfully passed security dozens of times - until Thursday)
- Kids were delighted to have us back
- Grandma and Grandpa survived, happy but exhausted
- Spent today on a picnic in a forest, plus a visit to 5th century mosaics at a nearby monastary
- Going out for Japanese food tonight
- My parents are leaving Tuesday night, so I'll be scarce for a few more days
Welcome home! It sounds fantastic.:)
ReplyDeleteGlad you have got home safely Robin - enjoy the last few days with your parents!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had a wonderful time! Welcome home.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, darling!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the army knife and mushrooms! I hope you enjoy your time with your parents. Will y'all do Thanksgiving together? I am looking forward to seeing pics from your trip. :o)
ReplyDeleteWell seeing I am the 7th commenter, and on average only 5% of readers comment.... looks like you have a lot of people checking in on you, my lovely.
ReplyDeleteMe, I am hanging out to see photos of shoes. I am sure you would have been thinking of me the whole time you have been away and faithfully taking photographs to soothe my need...... LOL
Been checking in and have been green with envy reading your updates. Sounds like absolute bliss.
Yay, you're back. Missed you!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home...can't wait to hear more : ) Glad you are home safely.
ReplyDeletewelcome back from one of your more than 6 readers:-) glad you had fun. we are off to florida which should be much warmer than it sounds like florence was...hopefully!
ReplyDeletehappy thanksgiving in advance... (which just doesn't have the same ring in israel if i remember...turkey?)
Welcome home, Robin. I can't believe you just have 6 readers...there must be many of us around.
ReplyDeleteWill be looking forward to your stories.
Can't wait to hear your take on the old city. We will have to share notes! Glad you're back OK and looking forward to reading more from you!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home Robin!!! I'm finally back and I can't believe you are back too and that you blogged while away!!! What treats for us to see glimpses of a place I've not yet visited! I love hearing about your adventures and that porcini dish... oh my... Have fun with your family!
ReplyDeleteHa! Guess this shows you have more than 6 readers! Glad to hear you had a great trip. Funny about the Swiss card knife. My husband and I just flew last month, and didn't bother packing toiletries because of the no-gels-no-liquids thing. We checked our bags, stopped at the airport store, got some mags, some chocolate bars and Brad bought a Coke. We go through security. He asks, 'Any liquids or gels?' 'No,' we answer. He takes the bottle of Coke from Brad and tosses it. Woops. For some reason, the idea that Coke was a liquid completely escaped our reasoning.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!! What an amazing trip!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it back home safely! :)
Hey, you have more comments now then when I have a good day! LOL
ReplyDeleteWelcome back---sorry about the mushrooms but glad the kids and grandparents are all good.
I am your 18th comment, so I do believe you have more than 6 readers :)
ReplyDeleteYour trip sounds fun, I've only spent a couple of hours in Florence, and would love to go back.

ReplyDeleteWelcome back Robin...it's been fabulous enjoying the trip with you. Btw I've tagged you for a meme if you have time when you are back properly.
ReplyDeleteHi sweetie, glad you made it home okay.
ReplyDeleteYes, when grandparents watch our little ones, it makes them appreciate their grandparenthood all the more. They get to hand them back over and rest up again! ;P
