| :: December 2016 & (a bit of) January 2017 :: |
| Hooray, we are all together. Mostly. Missing Avalon, but I will see him in a matter of days! 23 - 30 December Serole & Milan Italia . We arrived to snow! It was a white Hanukah and Christmas / Chrismukkah ...well for a bit. It was nice until it melted. |
| Zaven arrived! First Joe and I had to preparty! Then the pets had a party! And we did our usual Milan Prosecco from the terrace of Rinescente - lovely December sun, perfect weather for shopping and sipping |
| Lots of long runs, long walks and of course checking out Dad's tree |
| This card from a student of Joe, made us laugh and laugh Zaven can sleep through anything. Even a cat fight on his lap. |
| Not our cat. Gianni Jr. or GJ. We love him, but our cat's hate him. And I don't like him trying to hump our sheep skins. But other than that he is super sweet. |
| The last days of vacation in Serole Long runs and long hikes Off to San Francisco & Palo Alto by way of Portland on the 5th. Can't wait to see Avalon! Zaven got stricken with influenza and had to spend all his time with us. I was secretly delighted. His February trip home is already booked. December 2016 Early Days of January 2017 |
| A quick trip to Barolo, always lovely |
