Rick returned home early in the morning from his latest trip, Italy [Cortina and Venice] and Israel. Poor guy, had been up for many, many hours flying and then we hauled him off to the pancake breakfast. He brought beautiful glass jewelery home for Katrina, Greta and Isabel and Otto and Emma Sage got T-shirts from Italy.....the children are so lucky to get these international delights from their Dadda.....and he seems to delight in finding the right gift for each one of them.
