    Hi Laurie .
    How are you? Wow! you really found one of your cousins from Sicily? that's unbelievable! how did you manage to do that? do you have some sort of a family tree? that's great anyway!
    I'm expecting a very cold winter , too . but the past couple of weeks have been just fine . even warm a bit!
    thanks for the E-mail . I'm sure you can finish your 50 books if you want ( even if you couldn't 40 would've been a good improvement...) .
    best of luck!

    Thank you - I have a picture of all those bouquets my kids send to me. This one just happed to be a pic I've used on Facebook and my daughter wanted me to change the Shelfari avatar; she hated that picture!!! I'd taken it of myself, and they don't always come out well. It didn't, apparently. LOL

    I'd be interested in what you thought of Time and Again. Read the 2nd book, From Time to Time.

    Take Care!

    LOL - I could bathe in chocolate! I will check out the books you listed! I am reading "Poseidon's Steed --- The Story of Seahorses, from Myth to Reality" by Helen Scales PHD - it's such a good book -- not exactly what I would normally choose which may be why I am enjoying it. I like seahorses :-)

    Laurie, just added Heart Stones to my shelf. I collect them, too. How are your letters from Italy going? I wrote on the comment with the stone book that I thought you should write a book, "Letters from Italy", wouldn't that be great? Hope you are doing great, Kerrie

    Laurie,
    You are getting me in trouble!! I just ordered That summer in Italy and Dances with Luigi. Love Love Italy and everything about it. I sent postcards to family and friends while in Italy. Started everyone of them with this quote: I have fallen in love again..... That trip changed my life. When I speak about Italy, I am so passionate, I try and paint a picture of what I saw, felt, ate. It was a renewing experience that I will never forget. I kept a travel journal and wrote in it every night. I kept all tickets wherever we visited (The Sistine Chapel etc) and taped it in my journal. Everybody on the tour wanted to see it and they regretted not doing the same.

    One of the most enjoying books on Italy was Michaelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling.
    I bought the audio and LOVED it. Then I bought the book. You might want to check that out. (I had no idea how large the Michaelangelo statue was - it was stunning)

    Thanks for writing. Love hearing from you,
    Carol

    Laurie,
    You also love Italy!! ( Father was Sicilian) Four years ago I took a tour to Italy for 2 weeks. ( It was a gift from my best friend.) We had a marvelous time and I thought I loved Italy before the trip, well, I did not want to come home!! (Husband would not have been happy) I try and read everything I can on Italy.
    I would love to know your favorites.
    I have Sebastiano on my list. Hope I can find some of your books at the library.
    Carol

    Yes, I did finish the book - It was written 50 years ago in the midst of the Cold War so you have a pretty good idea of what the world was like then. The characters are all quite believable. I thoroughly enjoyed it - so much that I went to the library and rented a copy. The movie starred Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire.
