Geralyn and I strolled along the Capitolium or Capitoline Hill, located between the Forum and the Campus Martius. This is one of the Seven Hills of Rome.
The hill was earlier known as Mons Saturnius, dedicated to the god Saturn.
Geralyn and I visited the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. The basilica, which was begun in 1228, is built into the side of a hill and comprises two churches (known as the Upper Church and the Lower Church) and a crypt, where the remains of the saint are interred.
HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING. WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. BLESS THE LORD FOR IT. HE IS SO GOOD TO US. I HAD MY GRANDSON FOR TWO DAYS AND IT WAS A TREAT. OUR GRANDKIDS MEAN SO MUCH TO US.
GOD BLESS YOU. THE LORD BE WITH YOU. LOVE, SISTER SHIRLEY XOXOXOXO
We visited Fattoria il Poggio, a farmhouse in Montecarlo in the province of Lucca in Tuscany. The farm, rooted in Tuscany and managed by the Rossi family since 1963, welcomes visitors from all over the world. The farm produces wine and extra virgin olive oil. Inside the farm is a restaurant open for lunch and dinner and welcomes you with the best dishes, obviously accompanied by their wine and their oil!
Geralyn took this video as we traveled through the canals of Venice on a gondola! Geralyn normally doesn't do the videos but she wanted to capture me and the view of the canals from her perspective.
Geralyn and I were fascinated by the skill of this glass artist. And, he was a very nice fellow! So, if you are interested in the designing of glass art, you'll enjoy watching this video from Murano, Italy.
Venetian glass is thought to have been made for over 1,500 years, and production has been concentrated on the Venetian island of Murano since the 13th century. Today Murano is known for its art glass, but it has a long history of innovations in glass-making in addition to its artistic fame—and was Europe's first major glass-making center.
I MISS YOU MY FRIEND AND ALWAYS WILL. CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE GONE. LOVE YOU ALWAYS.
We had another beautiful day. No rain. How nice. We are thankful for rain but we need some sunshine too. lol lol lol And sunshine we got. It was wonderful. Perfect temperatures. God is good to give us so many blessings. The birds sure are singing. We have a Bull Frog and he serenades us every night. Love it. Of course, the Hoot Owl is in competition with him and they are in a competition to see who can out do the other. But I think the Bull Frog will win. lol lol He is pretty loud. The sounds of warm weather never grow old. I love those crickets, fireflies lighting up the sky and all the night sounds, the geese making a lot of honking sound.. they are all fabulous. The wonders of God's creation. We can never ever take his creation for granted. Because it is so marvelous. Have a wonderful night my friends. God Bless you. hugs, Shirley
Geralyn and I returned from Italy late last night. I will add additional pictures and videos from time to time. We had a great time but it is also nice to be back home.
