Siesta... still forgetting

1. We are so so so grateful for our Italian language coach, Dani!

He is such a good teacher. He instinctively recognizes our individual learning styles and works with us accordingly. Without trying to push his teacherly agenda.

Thanks Dani, you are A+

2. I like it how they packaged the mushrooms. Elegantly with some parsley and a peperoncino.

3. Benjamin came home with a few tears in his little school uniform. 

Husband sat down immediately without a word and started mending it. 

This the man I married, ladies.

 

 4. After 48 days in the country you would think that I have learnt about SIESTA.

Between 12-5 PM the stores are closed! Easy, right?

Well. I still get ready and take off for the supermarket in the middle of the afternoon at least 2 or 3 times a week. Only to discover half way to the shop that the town is empty. It's siesta time. 

I grew up in Hungary where there are always 0-24 shops open. Then I moved to the US, shopping Mecca of the World, huge hypermarkets open 0-24 every day, even on Christmas! Whatever you need, whenever you need it. I guess it is hard to change habits.

5. Husband and kid taking a well-deserved siesta after school and language class

6. My new love: Call the Midwife, BBC production, set in East London in the 1950s.

7. I am thinking about a new diet

8.  I am thankful for grace, family, health

9. In the kitchen: applecake, a few dishes, tea

10. I am wondering about family, home, roots

11. I am hoping to find a kindred spirit

14. A favorite quote of the day:
