I wish I could say this is all due to impeccable planning, but no. This is simply a case in which everything fell into place. When we realized (just two days ago) that Nicholas and Jonathan will both be in Atlanta this weekend -- Nicholas is flying in after a 2-week tour of Japan, Jonathan is checking into his living quarters at Georgia Tech -- we decided to be there, too.
So we booked a hotel Saturday night, and after we pick Nicholas up from the airport he will spend the night with us so we can hear about his adventures. Then, in the morning after breakfast he will drive back to Little Rock. It will be great to see him, and his brothers are anxious to see what goodies he brought back.
2- Italy information session
Next weekend we will have our last information session for all those going on the 2019 Girls' Trip to Italy. We hold these information sessions for several reasons: 1/ so everyone can get to know one another, 2/ so we can learn about the places we will visit, 3/ to answer any questions about trip details, and 4/ door prizes and refreshments. Limoncello, anyone?
3- Mother's Day continues ...
There are four songs left. Today is the last day of Billy Joel, Jonathan, and me.
4- Let's have an adventure
As we were reminiscing about our recent whitewater rafting adventure (and my near death experience;-), Timothy pointed out that I've done some pretty adventurous things lately: riding in a helicopter (Timothy and me), parasailing (Timothy and me), zip lining (Timothy and me), snorkeling (entire family), whitewater rafting (family). There were others, but these are the most recent. You go, mom!
5- Speaking engagement
I was invited to speak at the Aiken Newcomers' Club, something I'm really looking forward to. If you'd like me to come speak about my book (An Ocean, an Airplane, and Two Countries Full of Kisses) and my Italian-American journey while living in the Deep South, contact me!
