Once upon a time in Texas, there was a girl with an appetite and a dream...
1. The end of the Olympics

Does leaving your former life to live in paradise really need much explanation? I had a dream to live in Italy. After four years of teaching and almost as many summers traveling, I knew that something had to be done. I needed to cook every day with that fresh, locally-grown produce. I needed to connect with people who made their own wine and bought their whole chickens with the feet still on. I wanted to live in a culture whose inherent passion for gastronomy was not born of pretense, but of the knowledge that what is so fundamental to life should also be ENJOYED. This, for me, is the definition of "la dolce vita Italiana." While it may not always be sweet, it is always Italian.

Tracie, sorry I haven't read your blog lately. Mom and I have just been to busy watching the Olympics.
Hope that doesn't embarass you to much but what else are the parents of adult children good for if not. Like your blog and the pictures are really neat. Say hi to all for us.
God's Peace and blessings to you and all the Giangrandes.

In Italia, and not interested in the Olympics? I have to admit, I wasn't either, only an occasional glance at the women's figure and ice dancing competition.
Now John Stewart rocks!
