Heather and I at Prato's fabolous Monday Market! Church dinner for going away party for AIM group that have completed their 2 yrs. in Italy. Miriam (pastor's daughter) and I making a cake for the party. And last pic. is of my new friends Toni and Jeff from USA. that I met at the train station in Roma. They could have the most beautiful love story ever! I'm trying to get Toni to write a book about it! :) They invited me for lunch in Florence before they recently returned home. Miss you guys already!

Sleepless in Seattle....?

This shot deserves to be all by itself! I could not resist to take this sleeping man's picture in the Seattle air port at 12 am. I actually camped out for the night (not far from this guy) but I had a pillow and blanket, thanks to Alaskan Air Lines pitty on me! lol Notice his glasses nearly falling off his head! :) Just one of those classic shots!
