We FaceTimed with the Dallas gang tonight. Daniele was busy preparing for their celebratory dinner. Sofia felt so bad for the lobsters. It was rather reminiscent of a scene from a Woody Allen movie. We do an annual family new years prediction list. We all submit our predictions and aria keeps them in a sealed envelope to be read to the family the following New Year’s Eve. We get a big kick out of who wins with the most correct predictions.
We are quietly greeting the new year at home. Sipping on homemade limoncello made by our friend Rick. Thank you Rick , great job! These hand painted glasses are Venetian. We bought them for Mike’s maternal grandmother with other glasses and a small matching decanter . The year was 1978 and our first trip together to Italy. After his grandma passed we inherited this glass ware. They are special reminders of many memories. Toasting to those times and to making new memories in 2025!
