Cross over the Alps and paradise appears! The weather conditions change with every trip and it is always beautiful.

Below, just outside Florence the clouds broke. This is January in Italy.

I’ll pray for you while I’m gone.

Happy to just be passing thru!

My dear friend Cindy took me on a great walk on my last afternoon in St. Louis.

We saw Mia the dog go after this big branch in the water!

Watch Mia proudly and adroitly return the stick to her human!

You rock, Mia!

I’m having my wings mended. Getting ready to fly again!

When all else fails, patience is the only tool left in my toolbox. I use it wisely if unhappily.
