I cannot believe I will be living in NY in just 11 days. Feelings to describe my state of mind: scared, excited, and clearly not ready. I know it will be ok once I get there, (or maybe not). Steve keeps telling me things to do to get ready. I want to ROLL MY EYES AND YELL SHUT UP. This hurts to say but HE IS RIGHT. Yes Steve, I said you were right. Copy it off the computer and keep it close to your heart. I may never admit it again.
My Italian is doing great, if I don't have to come up with sentences. I hope classes will put together all that I soaked up using rosetta stone.
We had a great beach weekend. It will be the last time my family will be together before I leave. We managed to get along for 2 and 1/2 days. We all must be getting older. A great time was had by all.
Caitlin, Steve, Lindsay, and Me
Well, you can leave now !! I'm ready to follow you on this great adventure. You must promise to tell all! After 23 years of you being in charge of my hair I'm still trying to find the Yvonne replacement. I'm on my first one and am giving her three chances. Two down, one to go. She just doesn't get it. I miss you and my hair misses you too. Have a fabulous adventure, girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you! I know it will be a great experience. I think the madness at work is slowing down - hope we can get together soon.
ReplyDeleteLove you
Fabulous beginning to the next chapter of your life, a delicious adventure. We'll miss you but look forward to helping Steve with a "re-decorating" project! It will be okay!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you will be keeping us posted as your experiences unfold. Addio!
I like your webpage. Best of luck in the big city. I'm sure it's gonna be a blast.
ReplyDeleteThis is a test for Frances. I will write more later. We are just seeing if this will go through.
ReplyDeleteEverything sounds amazing.Even the dirty apartment. Dirty or not it's still an adventure, which I am a big fan. Can't wait for the next update so write soon. We here in Mundane Town need a little excitement even if it is via blog.
ReplyDeletehi Yvonne, best of luck on your adventure

Hey Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is wonderful... the photos, the recipes, your humor, your encounters with the locals... it's all good! Can't wait for the next post.... Love and miss you, Val
ciao Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteSembra come se si sta iniziando a sentirsi a casa a New York! le descrizioni cibo mi fanno la fame. E 'difficile credere che avete fatto così tanto in così breve tempo.
sembra tutto meraviglioso.

HI Yvonne, Mom and Dee came back so excited about their visit with you. Mom said you look wonderful and that she loved seeing you and your cooking friends.
ReplyDeleteit sounded like a wonderful adventure. How much longer is your stay in Italy? which town will you be cooking at next and i'll look it on google maps.
love and Ciao Bella,
Marion
Happy Thanksgiving, Yvonne, to you and your family! I was wondering what you're fixing for your thanksgiving dinner? Any Chestnut bread or butternut gnocchi on the menu? whatever you fix I know it will taste delicious!
