Hoppin' Here at the Holland House

Since my last post, things here have been "hoppin'."

My son missed a week of school with a nasty virus-turned-infection.

My daughter got married.

We went to the mountains for the weekend...which was perfectly lovely...until I came down with my own nasty virus...

...which was a real pisser...because being viral, my symptoms had to run their course. I did get a steroid shot...which seemed to help some...but I had only a few days to rest and recover before flying to Rome, Italy. Yes, Italy. And I went all by myself...though I'm sure Simon would have felt right at home exploring those cobbled-stone streets (and sniffin' some Italian tail).

In the following posts, I plan to tell you all about my trip...why I went, what I saw, what I ate, and what I learned along the way.

I hope you'll join me.
