1. A thick envelope in the mailbox. A long letter and lots of photos. So nice. Thanks, Laura.
2. Just as I am done covering the beans with moist soil, I hear Jay calling from the balcony when I will be coming inside.
3. I took a challenge. I am learning Italian for 10 minutes a day for the next 30 days. I brushed off the dust from the Italian learning kit with cassettes that I had bought more than 20 year ago.
