It was great to see even a glimpse of Orvieto!
I was also in love with the donkey races to the bad brass band. There's a career option I never even considered - musician for donkey races. It totally reminded me of the pageantry we saw in Orvieto.
Cathie, thanks for asking after my mom. She is in a great period now. She has settled in and feels more at home, and she has a new best friend. She hasn't had a bestie like this in a long time so it is very sweet. She's started to take part in more activities and things have been going well with the facility after a very rough period in January. We are going together to the east coast in July for some family events, which will be great even though I worry about her falling down all the time.
Hope everyone is getting some joyful spring moments after a ridiculously rough winter for those of you in the snow zones.
The current fun moment in my life is a trip to
Disneyland next week! I am competing in the Gumball rally (a sort of crazy ride frenzy/treasure hunt/trivia seeking contest) with my friends Dylan and Lloyd who made us this fantastic team logo:
after I named our team "Small World, Big Park" for the 50th anniversary of Small World. It sounds like a long but very fun day. It's already been worth doing because of how much our logo makes me laugh.
