Buona Pasqua

Happy Easter everyone-and especially to miei paesani en Italia. I know for many in the Abruzzo it will be a difficult time to celebrate. Easter is about rejuvenation and hope and in time the cities and villages of the central Apennines will rebound. Here in Western Washington, its another gray day. The tulips are starting to blossom however bringing new life and light to the saturated landscape. And here at the Romano household, Scruffy Gray is bringing new love and life to our humble abode. Giuseppe doesn't quite like it-but he'll get over it. He was expecting the Easter Bunny to make a short appearance, not an Easter Kitty to move in! Have a great day everyone!
