Well, it was a lot of work – four days at a trade show in Miami, a short flight to Chicago, nine hours in the Chicago airport, a six hour flight to Dublin, six hours in the Dublin airport

and a 4 hour trip to Rome – but we are finally here in the beautiful Tuscan region of Italy.

 We are staying in a tiny but picturesque villa near Siena.

The good news is that it is comfortable with a beautiful view and our own little courtyard.

The bad news is that it does not have the promised TV or WI FIaccess. Oh well!

Most days are spent exploring and most evenings are focused around Italian dinners prepared by my live-in chef, Thomasa (aka my husband).

Even the food here is beautiful!

Well, it’s late so I’ll close for now.  Thanks so much. Hope all is well with you. Give everyone my love.
