Venting

One of the reasons I go for long periods of not blogging is that a lot of time it's a constant fight with blogger. For instant, I have spent two days trying to customize the background on the blog with my own photo. I've resized several photos, and I still get " your photo is too big " .  WTF. Finally, I get a photo uploaded. I press done; I  press apply to blog, it said template applied. Did the background change? NOOOOO! Then there are the posting photos. I decided to upload my photos first then write. However, I can't get to the top of the page. Not only  that there is the blue font that is underlined, and I can't get it to stop underlining no matter what I do. There's more but that's enough bit*hing for now. If you read this thanks.
I needed to vent.

Yours Forever

On April 29th, my husband and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary. 48th years ago on our first date, incidentally I asked him out.  I had tickets for The Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines on Broadway. He paid for dinner at a small Italian restaurant called Vesuvio. Flash forward, now we are in Venice and don't you know we found a restaurant in Cannaregio call Vesuvio. So of course, that was where we had to have our Anniversary dinner.

We can't remember what we had for our first dinner, but then I guess we were too busy gazing into each other eyes. ...LOL....(sure) this time it was Scalapini e Marsala and Frutta de mare with spaghetti. A nice house wine and for dessert Nonna's torte lemoni.  Everything was delicious.

 

More on the Canadian Quilters in Verona

This exhibit was called Minerals.

E Lucean Le Stella international competition

This exhibit was at the Ex Chiesa (church) San Giorgetto. It is now used for exhibits. Tomorrow I will post others that were also on exhibit, but were past winners from other shows.

Canadian quilters at the Verona show.

I had the pleasure of viewing some very interesting and beautiful quilts that were in a special exhibit in Verona. They were at Museo di Castlevecchio. These photos that I have posted does not do them justice. This first set is by Gordana Brelih

Bergamo April 17 -18 2013

I got a real kick out of these animal heads. They were in a shop selling head bands.  I'm posting this from my ipad. Which is not very user friendly when it comes to posting. It will not let me scroll down to make comments on the other photos. So for how enjoy the photos and hopefully when I get home I can comment on the others. The last photo is of the hotel we stayed at.
