morgana skyped one afternoon with austria. chanda and i enjoyed hearing a bit of her conversation:
here the table is set for a big lunch with the minervinis and nana and nonno.
getting out to the lake . .
it felt so wonderful to swim!
ballet poses!
my turn for a ballet pose . .
she's not to be outdone . . !
my sister has blueberry bushes and they were so sweet this year. they didn't stay long in the bowl.
we visited the consignment store with nana . . one of her favorite excursions.
it's good there is a comfortable chair for nonno!
the owner (on the left) has known nana for years, and she has a soft spot for nonno as he reminds her of her own dear dad who passed away several years ago.
a frozen yogurt stop . .
we visited the hillstead house and museum in farmington.
theodate pope riddle's parents had amassed an amazing collection of impressionist and american painters. they were beautiful to see, as was the house!
afterwards, we had a delicious dinner and then stopped in glastonbury at a chocolate store where we bought chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate dipped orange peel. so good!
