| :: November & December 2016 :: |
| It's December. Wow. Right: Long weekend in Serole. The light is long and golden and a bit magical. Baci wasn't allowed in our favorite Roccaverano bar so we asked for plastic cups for our prosecco. Che brutta figura! So here we are walking around with wine glasses. Again. 7-11 December Serole, Italia Zaven is coming home on the 22nd and we plan on having a quiet time here in Serole. We are sad Av' won't be coming home this year for the holidays, but I have a business trip to Palo Alto in early January and I will swing by Portland to see him. We are always trying to find short cuts to and from Omar's tree. Baci led the way and then abandoned us. Nice sheep dog. |
| My HP Sister from Portugal came for a girl's weekend in Milan | Como | Pavia #foodfrenzy 1-4 December, 2016 |
| We take every opportunity to come up here. Milan / Pavia can be very grey in the winter time. But this area gets a lot more sun. I love this view. A long run but worth it for this sight of Alpi Marittime covered in snow. |
Baci : These dogs scare me.
Ok, ok Babaloo, you can go
outside but you have to be on a
leash here...there are foxes.

| Zaven came home for Thanksgiving It was a crazy week as the Wednesday night before I was just returning from Barcelona, I had facilitated a Growth Mindset session (very fun) and Z was flying home a few hours later (2 trips from Malpensa) and then we whizzed off to Serole the same evening. Hurry up and relax. 23-27 November, 2016 We had rain of biblical proportions. Thankfully we were here as our very expensive new roof sprung some leaks - we called the roof guy who promptly came out and repaired said issues. There was flooding and mud slides all over. Very exciting. |
| Shalom Shabbat & my beautiful challah! Well Zaven braided the one on the left. Beautiful and yummy |
| We took a day trip to Genova. It was sunny and warm and gorgeous |
Another long weekend in Serole. In ten years, I never tire of coming here - every time is different - the seasons change and it is just amazing. |
