I absolutely loved reading this, Sheila! Today was a stressful day making me feel all keyed up but now I’m actually relaxed. I didn’t think that possible after a day like this! Thank you!! Bravissima!!!!
You took me on a journey ! For few minutes I was relaxed and felt the warmth of your vacations in Puglia. The family, the food, the sun, the sea, the traditions all filled with love and happiness. Thank you for writting!
I will always read whatever you write, even if it is a thesis in "nuclear physics and women's mood variation."
Because you are gifted on the way you see and on the words you align to recreate what you saw.
Sheila, Thanks for sharing. I bet many readers will feel like I did "wish my kids were lucky as yours"... but few will realise that knowing how to appreciate is more important.

"Where you arrive tense, and you leave relaxed. Where you miss those no longer with us but carry on the magical traditions of all this for them."
Your Salento post is mouth wateringly marvelous. I am there. Or wish I had been but have the other baby Pierces asleep in my Schoolhouse right now. Loving your family.
Aren't you the lucky ones! So lovely! Look forward to the episode about Maine! Look forward to seeing you in Roma next May....hope we catch you before you leave for next summer's fun!
