Edeweiss3,
Thank you. It often crossed my mind how you ended up in Germany
to live. Now I know. That was fascinating and I appreciate you sharing the particulars. I was afraid to ask for fear of being perceived as too nosey. Glad you didn't mind. I tried to master the Italian language, way back when. Two full Italians, DIL and her mom visited me 1987. I speak little Italian. DIL is good in both languages; her mom speaks a small amount of English. Son's MIL, a beautiful lady, and enjoyed immediate connection. Love finds a way to communicate. And we had a wonderful time for 2 Augusts, when they came here and I went to Vicenza to see them. Germany looks so lovely. I truly appreciate the photos. Prayers and blessings,
