Hey, mama and papa, did you two have a nice time out gazing at turtles?

Well, mama and papa finally found themselves strolling through the ancient ghetto of Rome, at the piazza where the lovely turtle fountain attracts so many tourists.

You see there are four little turtles around the top of the basin, and since it has recently been restored, the fountain is one of the most beautiful in Rome, they tell me.

Because there was so much to do when we arrived (fix damaged floor, get curtains washed, get washing machine to replace 30-year-old one, etc), mama and papa have not had much time to just feast their eyes on the beauty of this Eternal City.

I, poor me, can only gaze out the long front windows at the piazza, but I do see lots of things–the two doggies, for example, who pass each morning and have for YEARS and bark and bark and bark at one another!  They are on leashes, thank heaven, or they would tear each other’s throats out, haha, but you’d think they would be friends after such a long time together in the piazza.  But you know, doggies are pretty unusual and you never know.  Maybe that’s their personal language of love, haha.

So I’ll be putting in some nice photos, I hope, of things mama and papa see as they stroll.

That is, if there is another stroll.  I just saw a To-Do list on the dining table and oh, boy, I’m glad it’s not MINE.

NO, NO, I do not want a list, mama.  I’ve done all my chores! My To-Do list says SNOOZE.
