Charlotte is bounding with energy and playfulness. Fortunately, she's also eager to please me, so when I give her a couple of dog tricks or play a couple of rounds of fetch, it calms her down.
My nephew Henry is here!
Henry's father is Jeanne's brother and his mother is German. His folks live in Hamburg now but have lived, throughout his life, in England and Chicago as well as Germany. He's now attending George Washington University in Washington, DC, where's he's studying international affairs and is in his third year of studying Italian. Next semester he'll be in Rome.
To say this guys is an international traveler and young man of the world is an understatement!
It's been great having someone to talk to. You've no idea how much I've missed simple conversation. He took me out for pizza last night and without his help I don't think we'd have gotten napkins. (What kind of pizza shop owner doesn't understand the Italian word for napkin?)
He'll be until tomorrow morning (though he's a college kid, so I don't expect him to get up before 11 today). I'm going to do some shopping and then later we'll maybe make up some spaghetti sauce with meatballs or something.
We've finally got decent weather for it!
