SURPRISE!!!!

As I was getting things ready for dinner this afternoon, there was a knock at my door. I could tell the person was holding a big bouquet of flowers. When I opened the door he said, "Happy Birthday". Wrong. He noticed the sign on the house, but I had to explain that it was for my house's birthday. Look of confusion. But I said the flowers must be for someone else. He said, "Sandy?" Ok, I'll take them if you insist. Aren't they the most beautiful flowers you have ever seen?



Still confused I opened the card. Then the tears just started running down my face.



I may be going to Italy on Thursday to bicycle around Tuscany, but truth be told .... no matter how magical and wonderful this trip will be, it won't be as fabulous as spending time, just hanging out with Katie. Ti amo, Katie. Molto Grazie!!!!
