Before writing anything else, I wanted to celebrate my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary with all of you. I mean…SIXTY YEARS!!! Isn’t that something??? 
And my parents are still crazy about each other and hold hands and…well, you get the picture. They are very cute together. Sooo, what else can I say but:
CONGRATULATIONS and MUCH MUCH LOVE!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry that Stefano and I are not going to be there to celebrate this important date today, BUT…guess what?…he and I will be there — there = Cape Cod! — tomorrow night (!), so we will definitely break out the (Italian) bubbly and raise a glass to these amazing parents of mine…
Ah yes, we’re leaving Florence AGAIN. It seems as though we’ve been flying nonstop all over the place lately…
But if I don’t get packed, we’re not going to go anywhere tomorrow, so I really have to get off the computer now. 
Take care, everyone! CIao!!!!!
