I too grew up with an extended Italian American family in RI. I miss Palm Sunday the most. We wove the palm fronds from Mass and spent the day visiting and receiving guests, exchanging palms all day. Ham and bean soup is still a tradition. Enjoy your travels.
Happy anniversary!!
You have been my favorite author forever!
I live in a 55+ community about two miles down the road from where you grew up.
So all the mentions you make of Providence and especially where and how you grew up are extra special to me.
Don’t ever stop writing!
I love a nice squishy brioche! I am knitting pants for the grandbaby coming late summer! Happy travels!!
Baby pants! Too cute!
The cowl looks really pretty. And I love that brand of yarn. I used a lot of their merino for my pink hats — lovely quality.
I have a dream of doing one of their knitting trips in Uruguay.
Keep me posted!!

It was wonderful, wasn’t it?
Yes. We return for the Summer. South Kingstown. Now in Italy for family wedding!
Nice!
May your travels be sun drenched, rainy, inspirational, and lovely!
Always a pleasure to read your writing, and Michael’s. Safe travels. I look forward to reading all about your Big Trip.
