Cara Sheila, tutto verissimo! Ma io la risposta ce l'ho: la mia collezione di libri di Simenon (romanzi e gialli di Maigret), non me ne separerei mai! Auguri!!!!

I love your writing. Thank you for inviting us into your life with your thoughtful and entertaining missives, Sheila. You are an amazing woman the way you adapt and manage navigating the changes in your and your family’s life. It’s obviously exhausting and exhilarating all at once! You are absolutely full of accomplishments!!! Bravissima! Buona Festa della Donna (a few days late but let’s celebrate it every day!).
