Lost In Relatives

Spending time with the relatives in a language that you rarely use can be very exhausting.

What I've been up to so far:

• I've moved into Orietta's old bedroom at Zio Franco's house. Twin bed. My stuff is all over the floor. I love that. I was unable to do so for this whole trip so far due to the places I was staying at/roommate situations. I'll repeat...I love having stuff all over the floor! Yippeeee........
• Spent the day with Orietta and her two kids. Francesco (3) and little Isabella (8 months). Oreste the polizia husband came home later on in the day. I am now big Isabella. No Junior or Senior used in this situation due to issue being a sensitive one for little Isabella.
• Went to mass for Zio Mimmo who passed away one month ago. Everyone is still in a bit of a mess over that as Nonno also passed away not too long ago.
• Spent the day and night with Zia Maria and family. Sonia is a computer freak. Must run in the family ....not me obviously.

What I'll be up to in the next few days:

• Visit with Zia Eugenia......she's still in a state of shock right now over her husband.
• Visit with Analisa and GianMarco. Get to know their spouses a bit better (they speak a bit of english :) )
• Visit with Zio Ottorino and family.

Loads of family stuff....................

I'll need a nice fun break before I get myself to Southern Italy.
