Gift idea

One of my sisters was out shopping in northern California where she lives and saw these neat 'introvert' socks. It is perfect if you have any introverts on your list! Wouldn't that be a fun gift!

Daughter's trip to Italy - Part 5

Here is the final post for daughter L's Italy trip.

Adam had been concerned about visiting a country where they might not speak English.  L said English was not a problem in Florence, however in the small towns it would be more of a problem.  However the people in the small towns are incredibly courteous and friendly.  They remember asking for directions to a restaurant in a small town, the man was just entering his house.  Well he got back into his car and told them to follow him, as he showed them the short way to the restaurant!

These are the items L brought home, the shopping, gifts, and souvenirs from Italy.

L had eaten this pasta dish at some point and loved it.

So she decided to buy a pack of it to try at home.

At her cooking course in Italy, they used these long rolling pins and we thought it was a good idea to bring one home!  It may be difficult to get a board to match.  L also brought us some Italian coffee.

This soft almond biscotti was so delicious.
