Okay, okay, mama and papa are on cloud nine about the Roma soccer team winning Conference League after 12 years of…well…not. A great match for the cheerleaders in this house. But since they have started to put the TV sound IN their ears, I don’t get to follow all the action! I’m going to ask for the Bose to be turned on low so that...

Well, it was here a minute ago.  I was homesick for our family in Italy and so I pulled out the item that cures my nostalgia but THEY HID IT, I’m sure! Mama is always cleaning up things! Maybe she knows I’m missing everyone… Now where is it? I’m sure it’s somewhere around here. Alors, when THEY hide things, they really hide...

  (Frankly, I’m glad she left MY portrait alone!) Well, good try, mama.. We used an unusual portrait that mama did of our sweet friend, Lena, no longer with a friend of ours, to do some Loonypic stuff. I use the “we” loosely… Hey, mama, practice makes perfect, right?

Well you want to know how to make people leave you alone when you’re napping? Just paint red peas all over your body and they’ll think you have the measles and they’ll stay way away! Or maybe just stick with green. They’ll be sure to back off from those! (For the record, however, mama and papa LOVE peas, steamed a few minutes with mint and...

Ooh…the scent of spring… Well, today is muggy and foggy and damp and mama left her tomato seedlings (Andine Corne) out overnight, thinking they would build up their muscles, and this weather turned around!
