April 13- Today I am grateful for mum. She came along with me when I claimed some photos for Tilly. I managed to stay strong and am getting only the one free shot. :)

Mum looked over Tilly when I got adopt at the optometrist. I am grateful for bulk billing to medicare. I discovered today that I would benefit from glasses (I had no idea!) and also that I have indications of early glaucoma in one eye. Just something to keep an eye on and to retest next year.

I'm grateful that I could give mum back something today and bake her a batch of biscuits to take to their church tomorrow night. It was the least I could do- she made me dinner! :)

April 12- Today I am grateful for a visit from Kim, Chloe and Lilly. Tilly and I were very excited to have them visit us. I taught Chloe when she was in grade 1 and she is a delight. We took some nice photos but I need to edit them. Stay tuned!

I'm also grateful that Jen and Jules could come by today. It was lovely to see them and to get 2 scrapbook pages completed! Woo hoo!!!

Ciao Roma!

This day last year Toby and I were beginning our Europe trip. We were in Rome and we let our feet take us along ancient, well-trodden paths. The Colosseo, The Palatino, Trevi Fountain, Circus Maximus were all in our sights, as were quiet alley ways, quaint cafes and shops selling their wares, vespas lined up along cobblestoned roads and people gesturing more than I thought possible. (Who needs words when you have hands?!)

By the end of the day, our feet were aching, my legs were burned, but it was so much fun and a great way to begin the holiday.

I think that some reminiscing is in order. Fancy a virtual holiday with me via the blog... one year later?!
