Fun in the sun!!!!

The Buzzards are taking over!!!
Two of my new friends! Grizellie and Dani and I'm in the middle of course

My we make a mighty fine lookin couple, if I do say so myself!

The Adriatic Sea is in the background! You would think me being from AZ I would at least have a little more color to me, but nope thats not the case here.

We are very surprised that we both didn't get burnt on this trip. Thanks Banana Boat!


For our Memorial Celebration this year we went to Carole Beach. It is about 45mins from our house and a very easy drive. We attended the 1st annual Buzzard Beach Blowout! Since we are still pretty new and don't know too many people this was a perfect opportunity to socialize and not be afraid to meet new spouses. We are one of couples who do not have children, so it was nice to hang out with all the little ones, but it was even nicer to be able to give them back at the end of the day! I am not a big beach girl so I enjoyed the pool more since I can see the bottom, but I did find some special sea shells to send back home to a couple little girls who I know collects them. This is a beach we will go back to for sure! And its nice since its so close too!

The incident heard around the world!!!

I thought I was going to be a good wife and make my husband a warm meal before he got home last Tuesday. I was even going to try a new dish-three cheese potato bake. I started mixing all the ingredients together when I heard a scratching sound come from the oven vent. Since we live on the top floor our vent wraps around the top of our kitchen, but connects to the roof of the building. So I thought it was the wind and continued cooking, then I heard it again... So I turned on the vent fan and that's when it went crazy. Screaming at the top of his little lungs. So since I couldn't reach the vent unless I stood on a stool, I decided to go downstairs and ask for help. Well of course no one speaks English so I have to wait until my hubby gets home to help. Meanwhile this thing is going crazy trying to get out. I cant make dinner or I will kill it and I couldn't do that. So Rich finally gets home about 4 hours later and since he was in training all day and couldn't answer his phone he has no idea what he has stepped into once he gets home. He tells me I cant be in the kitchen when he gets it out because I am screaming to loud. I'm pretty sure my scream could be heard all the way in the States. So of course my husband is my hero by getting the creature out of my oven vent.... Have you guessed what it is yet?

A rat...NO

A snake...NO

A lizard...NO

A small human...NO

It was...

A bird

Needless to say dinner was late.

More of Sacile and then some!!!

The River that runs thru our town.
Our apartment building.... Can you guess which floor we are on?

The view from our apartment

Another view but adding our rail in it.

This is the entrance to our friend's house. It's amazing!


First we have to thank our friend Diana for taking such amazing pictures when she came to visit us in April. Sacile is such a cool little town and its so full of history. Italy is so beautiful in the spring except there is always these little white things flying in the air. It almost looks like its snowing, but I think its cotton its very soft when you catch it. It's very weird. The weather here right now is about 75 degrees with lots of humidity, which I am not used to at all. I must say we have already turned our air on, which is not like Arizona air conditioning where you freeze yourself just to be comfortable. I think it just circulates it. Things are good I will start a language class in a few weeks and hopefully I will be able to understand the people and the culture a bit more. Rich is getting to fly about two times a week depending on the weather. So far it rains once a week give or take.
