family time

A long pranzo with "borrowed" family, this time sandwiched between the market, a quick stop at some Roman ruins, and another trip up to the Abbey on Montecassino. Today the surrounding hills have a soft beauty under the cloudy sky. Thoughts meandering back to work are checked before they are properly formed. I want to learn how to have real week-ends.

Today I am grateful for the friends I have both here and in other countries. Time and distance has no meaning when ties are strong.
