“Seasonal” Favorite
As the "Nostalgic Italian," I would be wrong to not mention that today is the 346th birthday of Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi. He (along with GF Handel and JS Bach) is considered to be one of the greatest Baroque composers of all time. His work consisted of many concertos for violin, choral works, and even … Continue reading “Seasonal” Favorite

When I left to go … Continue reading It’s Just Around The Corner

So this past week, I put Ella in her stroller and we took a 2 and a half mile walk around the neighborhood. She loves going … Continue reading A Morning Spring Walk
A Busy (and Painful) Weekend

Spring will officially arrive in 10 days (March 20), but today certainly felt like it was here. We had record temperatures here in Michigan. Our local news station said that we hit 71 degrees today.
