Indulge Me....

Just a few more pictures of the "Great Italian Escape." This is Juilet's window in Verona, you know...from Romeo and Juilet.
These are the words he called to her, while she was on her balcony.
The walkway leading to Juilet's courtyard is lines with love notes, from all the visitors.
Look closely....right in the middle...awww....that Farmer;)
And....yes....this is what came home with that wonderful Farmer of mine!

He did good!!!

More....Italy and The Farmer

As you can see, they had alot of fun,
and saw alot of beautiful sights. The Farmer appreciates art, and he saw alot of that too!
I think he took this picture just to prove that there really are orchards in Italy, and they really did go and seen them;)
Venice....possibly the most romantic city in the world, and The Farmer shared

it with his buddies. No I am not bitter....where did you get that idea???

He had a wonderful time and we are very, very happy that he is home. Oh, p.s. he did great in the "gift/souviner" department. Auntie Beth now enjoys a beautiful Italian scarf that matches her new coats that she will be wearing on the mission. The Boy is sporting a couple of Italian silk ties. PreShie is loving her "Prada";) purse. And The Rooster is wearing an Italian soccer uniform. And The Farmer's Wife.....well....I got just what I wanted and asked for and hoped for and dreamed about....Let's just say, I am amazed and VERY, happy!

Welcome Home Farmer!

The Farmer Goes To Italy

After 10 LONG days....The Farmer has returned home, and YES, we are all thrilled!

The Farmer went to Italy with a group of fruit growers from our state. The government thought it would be a great idea to exchange information, and techniques for fruit growing, with Italy and they kindly sent these fine men to check it out. When asked about how much time they actually spent in the orchards of Italy, The Farmer answered, "Oh wow, alot of time...our days were very long." Was he seeking sympathy???? Oh I hope not!;)

Kiwi orchards...who would have thought?

Vatican City, where each Wednesday the Pope speaks, and it was Wednesday when they were there and so, yes......

They got tickets to hear the Pope speak.

The better picture would have been, The Farmer inside the car....not outside;)
