She arrived in Rome three hours earlier then expected.
She called the house (using iphone) about 5:45 a.m. to say she was in Brussels and awaiting her flight to Rome. Said that they wouldn't allow her to wait within the gated area of her flight as they don't allow anyone within the space when flights are arriving from Africa.
She is a happy little camper and looking forward to spending time with her cousins and friends...
May all who travel arrive safe and sound...
Peace,

Off to Italy...
My Jacqueline is now en route to Italy. Was so happy to see that the airport (Newark) was not hectic...all seemed to be moving along quite nicely.
She decided to fly AirIndia...no wait at check-in...and the lines moved quite smoothly at the gate. Think people have finally realized that there can be no fooling around at that point, even the kids that were traveling seemed to be super well-behaved...great testament to the parents.
She arrives in Brussels in the early morning. I told her to take some short sight-seeing trip before her flight to Italy...if she has the time (not sure where their airport is located as to proximity)
Do hope you all have had a wonderful weekend!

COPING WITH A HAPPY DAUGHTER...
My little delicate flower is off again to Italy...
Jacqueline is off again...on the 10th...has her one way ticket to Italy in hand...leaving her many options on when to return. It's been a couple of years since she was last with her cousins and friends over there.
This past summer she did get to visit with one of her cousins when he flew into New York. That's all she needed to get the thoughts of returning to Italy back into her pretty little head. She has always been so independent...no one need push her...she is her own motivator.
Jacqueline was hoping Joseph would join her this trip...but, he was not feeling it. I thought it would have been a good idea too, but, it was his decision to make.
I try not to think about all those thieves out there...you know the ones, they steal your peace of mind and sense of security. Jacqueline maintains a great attitude...she doesn't give any of it a thought. Just goes about her everyday.
Now if someone would ask me how to solve the problem of terrorist...I would say turn them over to the parents of all those lost children.
But, back to little miss happy. Took her shopping before the holidays to redo her wardrobe only for her to decide that she is going to pack light so as not to have to deal with any luggage problems at the airport. (Gee, she couldn't have thought about that before the $$$$ changed hands.) Of course, she has packed enough cosmetics (she's a makeup artist by trade) to make-over the entire population of Rome, Termoli, Montorio and all those other little espresso towns. I think in brushes alone she could have cut world hunger in half.
Each time Jacqueline leaves...she returns with some totally different look. As to clothes, same thing, returns with all new. Of course, I do appreciate that she has excellent taste when it comes to buying bags (pocketbooks) and scarves, always something very different.
Well, it's getting late...and I do want to be up early tomorrow...not for any great reason...just to extend my relax time.
Peace,
Claire

Happy Birthday...
Happy Birthday to my little delicate flower!
Jacqueline...may this birthday be only a preview of many wonderful birthdays to come.
I remember way back when...this very dark long haired child first entered this world. It was the perfect Good Friday...a good daughter gifted to us.
Her older brother Joseph was so excited he ran into my room...asked where 'his baby' was and raced down to the nursery to claim her.
I have the perfect the family...a son and a daughter. No greater love then the love I have for my children.
Thank you Jacqueline for being you...always the little girl to shop with...and my one and only little delicate flower!
Love always and ever...Mom

March snow...
We had about 7-8 inches of snow on Monday night...not too bad. The city roads were cleared within hours of it stopping. Although the schools closed (due to not enough teachers living where they work) kids were out in full force playing.
I put this picture up of my daughter, it's from back in '98 (okay, so I don't take a lot of snow pics) Just thought I would show a typical city street when the snow is first building up. We were quite fortunate here nothing significant to report due to the storm. Thank God for great favors!
Question....whatever happened to kids going around with shovels to earn money???
