ReplyDeleteHi Laurel,
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd congratulated you. I sure wanted to. But in Florence ever minute I spent writing my blog was
a minute that my husband couldn't be out exploring the city, so I was incredibly conscious of that.
Congratulations! You work is just wonderful and you are beautiful!
XOXOXOXOBarbara
