Dear readers,
I know it's been forever and a day since I last updated, but health issues with my mother and father have prevented me from writing last week and then my Aunt Rose passed away two days ago. She was a lovely lady and I shall miss her deeply. She lived to the ripe old age of 88. She could always make me laugh, she taught me how to dance the tarantella, and the meaning of several words in Italian that my father would never explain . . .above all she taught me how to live life with a smile. . . and eat dessert before breakfast. So I dedicate this chapter to her. Grazie, Zia Rosa!
*the title of this chapter I borrowed from C.S. Lewis' masterpiece the Chronicles of Narnia, I believe this chapter title was used in The Silver Chair or perhaps The Horse and His Boy.*
