Visiting Zio Marco and Zia Agnese

One afternoon, we decided to visit Zio Marco and Zia Agnese. Amedeo is contentedly eating a cookie in this picture...you will see that is a theme when we go to visit relatives.

Amedeo is blissful since he is the focus of our conversation.



Marco and Agnese have 4 grandchildren, so they are well prepared for their visits...here, Amedeo is testing out a push-trike.


Who wouldn't want to come and visit them, when you can see this lovely vista from their living room?!?!?

As a side note, I feel like we are back to normal regarding jet lag. However, I am completely lacking in focus. I am not sewing or knitting or anything. I seem to have lost my forward momentum. Mostly, I find myself doing laundry, or staring at the endless internet. Mostly, I need to find an engrossing project. That will come.

We are still working on finding contractors for our window, roof and siding replacement. I rejoined Angie's List. We went on a drive this morning to check out houses with similar plans, just to see how they went about changing siding and windows. I took pictures out the window so we could compare and contrast. Our house has vertical wood siding, and now most houses have horizontal vinyl siding. Everyone seems to like a bland mushroom color for the siding. Come on, people! Soooooooo boring!!!! How about fuchsia, bright blue or yellow?
