Second week: The girls are back!


                                                                          October 26

                                                                       October 22-26 

Nothing much happened at home. I watched a lot of movies. I talked to Norbert and Nuri, separately, for a long time. As usual, they spoke and I listened. I am almost done with all the food I had planned for the two weeks, it worked very well. I even cooked a nice Italian pasta dish. Delizioso!


The girls were in sunny Firenze and left by train to Roma. It rained for a couple of days but it didn't stop them from walking around and added a lot more miles and steps. They did the Ghost Tour, went to the Vatican, had a yummy food tour and we had a face-to-face call, very nice. Their hotel was near the Pantheon, I checked an Italian webcam in the Pantheon and told them where to stand so I could see them, and they did and waved and it was fun! :


On Saturday, they boarded a plane from Roma to New Jersey, and then from New Jersey to Los Angeles, the flight was delayed and didn't get to LAX until 10PM. They got safely home and we had some chile verde pork and croquetas, and a toast with Bailey to celebrate the safe ending of a super nice Italian adventure.

The next day, we went to In'n'Out, then drove to the Long Beach Airport to say goodbye to Sandy. On our way home, we got a text from Sandy saying the flight was overbooked and she chose to stay another day, and got a little compensation. That was a bonus day!!! :)

On Monday we drove Sandy to Long Beach for her flight to Salt Lake City. Lizzie and I went to Trader Joe's. The next day, I went to the Library and Voted.

For Halloween, October 31st., Lizzie dressed a Holly Golightly and she looked great!

Even Lulu dressed up


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
