A sea day yesterday. I love sea days. Another sea day tomorrow. I love sea days.
And today no scheduled excursion so I’m staying on board while Doug goes off to enjoy an independent journey here in Civitavecchia. He’ll bring back interesting photos. I chose to stay behind, I have a lot of years on him and can easily be a drag, though he won’t say so.
I’m lovin’ every minute – happy we still have more days ahead to enjoy.
e-mail access costs an arm and a leg, so I don’t do as much as I’d like to in the way of specific responses. Let me just say a big “Thank you” here to the folks on Twitter who have been tweeting and re-tweeting the stuff about my “Figs & Pomegranates & Special Cheeses.” And by the way, the Kindle price is now $0.99 – a great opportunity to enjoy a good read and, if so moved, write an honest review on amazon.com.

Did I tell you I read Figs, Pomegranates and Special cheeses and loved its powerful story teller and thank you so much!! I certainly did not know what to expect and got what I needed and what I felt privileged to enjoy.
Thank you so much for these kind words, Sheila. Not only does it make me feel good, it also helps to spread the word. Smiles!
