Not the foreseeable future; but maybe someday.

You would be a fun girl to travel with, Yaelle. When I hit the lottery, we’re off!

I would love it! I keep forgetting to actually play the lottery. Which means my plans for the winnings keep getting put on hold. Dang.

Thanks, Yaelle. We “put up” some peaches and froze some strawberries, and that would be a great way to use them!

Part of me keeps wanting to change the green in that room to Wedgwood Blue - but in that setting, the green is perfect and so restful.

Problem-—who in their right mind would want to leave that room to go on tours of Italian ruins?

The PB flavor comes through, but it just adds to the yumminess to me.

Those do look yummy, and I can get the flour free ones to fluff up just like that.

LOL - What I’m thinking! - and especially with all those lovely bathing implements in the bathroom!

A good book, nice shower, a big glass of ice water with the windows open, smelling the gardens - dinner later in a fabulous restaurant with an amazing view - I’m Good ;-)

But I could probably get it together for a couple days of trekking through the frozen past...

The view alone is mesmerizing.......you wont get much reading done. I could barely drag myself to dinner from that view I had in Capri.
