New Family Member

November, 2019

Right before Covid hit us all John and I decided to adopt a kitten. We had lost Turtle, our beautiful cat of 22 years at least 5 years before. We went in to the local pet store and found our new baby. She was in a glass enclosure looking out as if she knew we were coming.

We took her home and because of our absolute love of all things Italy we named her Olive. She is now 5 1/2 years old and the love of our lives. I present Olive Wilson to you:

Five Years Later….

I just read my last post from October 20,2019! I had posted that we were leaving Cortona and how I wondered if we would ever return! We arrived home and three months later Covid hit. We all suffered in one form or another and it was hard to get through but get through we did.

I haven’t made a single entry into this blog since then. Primarily I started the blog to keep in touch with family and friends and to use as a diary of our adventures. I must admit that Covid has actually stolen my sense of adventure for too many years. We have traveled some over the last 5, almost 6 years and I am going to jump in and try to log, briefly what has been going on. Mainly it will be just some of the trips we have made accompanied by a few photos.

This blog is for me but I hope you enjoy it too.
