Ann, you just made my day brighter and better! Didn’t think I could be any more excited about going to Italy than I have been, but after seeing your article today…I AM! The days and hours are counted until we set foot on Italian soil and start taking in all of the beauty and grandeur of this amazing country! Thanks for the great article!
Jane, I am so thrilled that you and Marie are going together. Have a wonderful time. Of course, I wish I were going with you but I look forward to hearing about your “adventures” as I call them. Buon viaggio!!!
and molto grazie to Marie for putting this all together for me. Now you have to take me with you Marie! lol
Not sure if you will fit in her little suitcase! 🙂
Amen and Amen again!!
For sure I won’t fit in her suitcase but you HAVE to do me a grande favor!!!!! Both of you have to throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain in Rome for me so I will return – please. Throw it over your left shoulder. xoxo
Jane, I do not want to spoil the expectation but now here is a gray and chilly autumn day !! We hope for a better time for your arrival.
See you soon
……………..I forgot, I live in the north, in Sicily’s sunny !!!!!
Daniela, gray and chilly…warm and sunny…we will be in ITALY, so weather won’t matter…we will be THERE, that’s all that matters! 🙂 Can’t wait!
Me too!!
I will just be a stowaway. You could shrink wrap me. Joanie G
Joan, if shrink wrap worked I would have wrapped myself long ago.
You guys are killing me! 🙂
Bon Voyage Marie and Jane. Have a blast!!
Julie B.
how wonderful your Travelogue was ! Thanks = Rosemarie
Marie and Jane, We will miss you while you are gone. I know you will have a wonderful time. One question before you leave,”whose going to keep us in line”?
Jill, that’s a very good question…I guess you can misbehave all you want and have to answer to Marie when she gets back!! LOL 🙂
Yikes!
Hi, Jill ! Since we’re on the subject of Ann’s beautiful selection of pictures & funny sayings about Italy, I wanted to share with you about a sweet Instagram site featuring a precious, little “Chiweenie” dog. He is ‘singing’ in Italian! I think you like animals a lot, like me. Maybe you’ve seen this? I don’t know. Other folks here might enjoy it, too. It’s an Instagram site called : “TUNAMELTSMYHEART”. (His name is Tuna). It’s in the third row of pictures down, on the left. He’s wearing a little black & white Tux or suit. It’s a short video. I just love it (and him). In case you don’t know of Tuna, he’s a little dog who was dumped on the side of a road as a puppy in San Diego because he was born with a severe overbite, wandering eye, etc. Human angels rescued him & now he’s a bit of a celebrity, enjoying a great life!
Awww Laura, he’s so sweet and pretty ugly too. Well, he is!
Oh, Marie, It’s so sad, but true. His owner even admits it and she loves him to pieces! Tuna melted my heart, too, bless his little soul.
Hi Laura, I had’nt seen that video before, and yes, it’s very cute. I am an animal right’s activist, so I love and respect all animals.
Now I want to know if Marie is a Taurus, or a Cancer. She look’s like a Taurus(that’s what I am) Taurus and Cancer sign’s are similar, in the way that they both love animal’s.But there again I think I remember Marie saying she wanted to do away with Pirate’s parrot Igor!
Maybe she’s the black sheep of one of those sign’s! You know like the black sheep of the family!
Piero is a cancer, so Marie or myself would get along with him really well.
Buonanotte
I want to know if Marie is Taurus or Cancer. I’m Taurus. however, are not a person who is influenced by the horoscope.
I am, in fact, an animal loving cancerian. Ok…maybe not all animals…maybe not a certain parrot.
Jill, sun sign is only a small part of the horoscope, the personality is influenced by many other aspects..Monthly sign is very important, also the positions of planets,ascendant, astrological houses represent the fields of experience wherein the energies of the signs and planets operate, the houses are also revealing of the inner state and of one’s personal subjective experience and attitudes. Comprehensive horoscope of every human being is made up of many things, thus creating a unique personality of each. I don’t like generalization and simplification in astrology. I am Libra, sun sign, and Taurus – monthly sign, but I haven’t all typical characters for Libra. 🙂 Have a nice day !
Lydka, You say you have’nt all typical characters of Libra, but I do have all the typical characters of Taurus.I do understand that the horoscope is a very complex thing. I have several friend’s that were born under the sign of Taurus, and our personalities are very similar.I am not like some people that have to look at their horoscope everyday in the paper to see what is going to happen to them that day.I remember a few years ago I had my chart done, and they had to know what time of day I was born, in what country, what my rising star is etc. etc.
It was very complecated.It is now 12.30 at night here , so you have a nice day also😊
Jill, astrology is mine,let’s say , hobby, but I haven’t now time on it, of course I’m not a trained professional. I have the comprehensive analysis of my personal horoscope. It’s an interesting read, I think in general, and yes, very important is the exact place, hour and minute of birth. Daily horoscopes in newspapers are insignificant. Sincere greeting and have a nice weekend.
Hello, Lydka (& Mom of Lydka!), I left you a response on the previous post tonight, in case you missed it. I’m getting ‘all turned around” tonight ( i.e., confused from fatigue! 🙂
Thank You, Lydka, for the link to your post from May of this year! I remembered it well once I saw one of the first videos you posted there. That post is beautiful, Lydka. You provided lots to read and see. I am so happy that you had put the Eurovision video with Il Volo.there. Like your Mom, I love Grande Amore” sung by them with that gorgeous stage-setting behind them. They were really giving it their all that night, bless them! Until next time, sending a Big “Bear-Hug” to each of you. xoxo….
Hi Jill!, I’m glad you got to see Tuna! How wonderful that you are an activist for animal rights. Thank Goodness for people like yourself. As for the “Moonchildren” (Cancerians), no wonder that Marie founded this place which brings people together! They are sensitive, too, so there is the sensitivity to – and love for – animals of you and Marie, as well. As concerns either of you getting along well with Piero: Yes, indeed you could, just as long as each of you don’t share too many of the same, particular ‘flaws’ characteristic of the shared sign , (“Each sign having its own positive and negative tendencies, I would guess that you and Marie already know that). Being that Piero and you, Jill, are obviously old souls ( obvious to me, anyway), you would probably be able to surmount any difficulties and get along very well ! Marie is obviously an old soul, too, and so the same would apply for her and Piero, too. Jill, you and Marie are fun and funny. I just so enjoy all the fun and witty people that are here. “Buonanotte” to you, Jill !
Jill, if you get to read this later, I now realize that you are a Taurus, not a “Moonchild”. It slightly changes what I wrote re/ you & Piero, only because you & he wouldn’t have the similar tendencies of the type that could cause friction when sharing the same sun signs, but as I said, two “old souls” could have a bit of an easier time getting along, since each would have more wisdom accumulated. (That’s what I mean mentioning the soul’s ‘age’ in this context, as, again, I’m sure you already know!). ( I hope to meet you ‘on the other side’, Jill, since it’s unlikely we’ll meet here! I like to think that I’ll be with all the animals whom I’ve known & loved, plus ALL the animals & like-minded people!) (Do we get to cross “The Rainbow Bridge”, too? I wonder what you think about it….:)
Laura, you say such nice thing’s. In my opinion the only “flaw” that a Taurus person like myself could possibly have, is that we can “sometimes” be stubborn. There I said it, but don’t expect me to admit to it again! But stubbornness has also worked in my favor. If I’m fighting for my right’s or an animal’s right’s, I don’t ever give in.Laura, are you a writer? If not, you should have been.We enjoy your comment’s so much!
Laura, you and I were posting each other at the exact same time. I had to stop and recharge my iPhone.Yes, I understood what you meant in the post below about me not being a moon child, but a Taurus.Yes it’s possible we could meet each other on the other side.You will absolutely be with all those animals that you have known and loved. They go to the same place we go.You probably will be chosen to take care of those animals that did’nt have anybody waiting for them.
Laura, the similar attracts the similar, people who love music Il Volo are also therefore similar in some things. 🙂 We saw for first time Il Volo at classical music TV channel,my mom saw as first video Un amore cosi grande and me O sole mio. Look at my post :

We wish you very nice weekend ! Hugs and kisses !
Thank You, Jill, for your very heartening words. I nearly cried reading them. It would also be the greatest pleasure for me to be, as you put it, “chosen to take care of the animals who have no one waiting for them.” That is something I actually had been doing for a long time until a year ago! It wasn’t what I expected to be doing. It was a huge sacrifice to do it, but I would do it all over again if It was requested of me. The reward, as you know,Jill, is greater than any sacrifice. Thank You, also, for saying that I could have been a writer. I could (and” should”) have continued to be an artist, but suffice it to say that it seems that God had other work for me to do, apparently, for my life sure threw me a curve ball, broad-sided me, knocked me off track ‘Big Time’ and more than once. As a result, it seems that I disappointed a number of people, including a few teachers, all of whom saw big things for me as an artist and yes, as a writer and one hoping i would write poetry. i sometimes wonder if it is ‘bad karma’ to stop using a talent, even if one hadn’t planned to do that, never wanted to do that. Some good things came out of it, though and I’ve learned a great deal more. Regarding writing, Jill, there are a number of people of Il Volo Flight Crew whom I think write really well. You have my admiration for what you are doing to help those “who have no voice”, Jill. As for your “stubbornness”: It definitely is an asset in your work, even a necessity, so I say you chose your sun sign very well! 🙂 ( I wonder if I’m going to be kicked off this site for being verbose a few times here! You asked me a question, innocently; little did either of us realize this torrent of words would result! I apologize for that.
Laura, the main reason we set-up this sight the way it is is because we wanted to have unlimited space for people to express themselves without length restrictions.
Fat chance you would be kicked off this site! Other Crew and I love reading your marvelous comments. Btw, if you would ever like to write an article for posting, just send it to me. That is also what this site is forl
Mama M., I am so relieved! Thank You – and for your kind words concerning my being here among you. ( I’m a bit of a late-comer). Thank You, also, for inviting me to write something some day that could be a post here. (I marvel at how smart you and others are to understand and utilize the technology to bring people together to see, hear, think. share at this Very Special Place). Thank You, Marie! (and Thank You, IL Volo!).
Ann, everything is gorgeous – the beaches, the fountain, the uncovered villa, the restaurant by the sea. So many beautiful sights.
Marie & Jane, you are both so fortunate to be going. Have a wonderful time!!
Thank you for the good wishes, Linda!!
