Today we received a big box with all of our accumulated mail from the last month. Sorting the junk mail was less fun, but it was nice to resume normal postal service. Today’s #OneGoodThing was receiving our accumulated mail with Mama! Day 289 of 365. And Day 1,020 in a row (here’s the first 366 & the following 365)! 1 year ago…
We returned from Venice several days ago and jet lag hit us hard, so we’ve been slow to unpack. Today Mama and I finally unearthed a few of our Venetian treasures. Despite a broken suitcase, we were thrilled to find the bottle of Moscato D’Asti that we brought home intact, as well as our tiny glass…
Today’s #OneGoodThing was a much-needed, long, hot soak in a bubble bath. Today’s soaking recipe included Epsom salts and Lavender bubble bath. It felt so wonderful to be reunited with my bathtub! Day 287 of 365. And Day 1,018 in a row (here’s the first 366 & the following 365)! 1 year ago today: Staying safe 2 years ago today: Pumpkin biscotti & chai…
Mama and I have been appreciating the comforts of home these last few days, including our DVR, which recorded all of our favorite shows while we were away. Today we caught up on the season premieres of “This is Us,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “The Voice.” It was a good rest day full of great TV!…
After an extremely long travel day home, we have all been sleeping strange hours for the last couple of days. I’m not sure what time zone our bodies think we’re in, but it doesn’t seem in line with Italy or California. Added to the jet lag, Mama and I have both been fighting off colds,…
After a very long travel day, Thursday’s #OneGoodThing was arriving home safely with Mama, and Paisley, and all of our luggage! Arrivederci Venezia! Day 284 of 365. And Day 1,015 in a row (here’s the first 366 & the following 365)! 1 year ago today: Making it another day 2 years ago today: My literary hero’s new memoir What was your #OneGoodThing today? Please share…
Wednesday was a long day for us. Mama and Paisley and I woke up in Venice, Italy, and flew to Chicago and then San Francisco. We couldn’t have done it without the help of at least a dozen people along the way. Many thanks to our dear friend Anna, who met us at our apartment…
Oftentimes at the end of a trip, there’s a feeling of wishing it could continue indefinitely. Such is not the case for us this time. Mama and I are ready and eager to return home to California. We had a wonderful time with our Italian friends and making new friends along the way. We enjoyed absolutely…
Mama and I started off the day with lunch of cicchetti, or small bites, from a wonderful and tiny place called All’Arco, which we learned about from watching Netflix’s “Somebody Feed Phil.” The food was incredibly innovative and fresh, and we enjoyed getting to meet Mateo, who was introduced in the show. Then as Mama…
Mama and I joined several of our Italian friends for a Spritz in a garden cafe/bar tonight, and we had a wonderful time! We adore spending time with them and it was the perfect way to end a stressful weekend. After I dropped Mama and Paisley back at our apartment, I popped back out to…
Having walked our feet off all over Venice, plus the islands of Burano and Murano in the last few days, Mama and I didn’t mind that it poured rain all day today. We knew we’d need a day of rest; I even went to the grocery store yesterday in preparation. Mama spent the day working on another…
After a full day seeing Burano’s colorful homes and lace making yesterday, Mama and I decided that visiting the neighboring Venetian island of Murano, famous for glass blowing, would be better left until today. We made our way to a shop called Fiore Fiore that we’d visited six years ago, where they sculpted a glass…
