The Unexpected

Peace & Good
???





In Assisi, there are often lovely painted greetings and reminders of stories above the doors and along the stone paths.  We have really enjoyed this " art show" as we walk through Assisi.

As always in life, there are always new paths we must try.  Allen had to fly home to Memphis to be with his ailing father.  He may face open heart surgery in the next week or so, so Allen will remain at the hospital until more is known.

The children and I are safe and sound at the agritourismo.  We played tennis this morning,  read books, and will probably swim in the pool later this hot afternoon.    There are a couple of other families with small children here, too.  Who cares if they speak Norwegian or French or Dutch?!  Kids are kids.

I'm very thankful for the Americans living here who have had us to their home and introduced us to more locals.  Kindness has surrounded us here in the Umbrian countryside.

  1. I am so sorry to hear about Allen's father - I hope everything is ok. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
    Beautiful art, views, and picture of the three of you! Glad that kids are finding others to play with.
