Catching up
Goodness, I can't believe it has been almost 2 months since I posted anything. I've thought about it, but then I must admit - I've gotten a bit sidetracked with Facebook! So lately any free, non-Beehive computer moment I have is spent looking at new books I want, reading the news, doing some research or checking to see what my friends have been up to - a lurker, if not an active participant, in many of their lives. I have mixed feelings about Facebook, but for the most part, it has been positive.
So some highlights from the past 2 months - in no particular order:
1. I bought a new pair of shoes. I highly recommend them.
2. I turned 42.
3. My mother turned 75.
4. Had a "soul reading" - kind of a bust that one, but what did I expect?
5. Went to a Girl Scout harvest festival with the girls. A nice day, but the girls aren't running to join anytime soon and I must admit, I am happy about that.
6. Spent my birthday weekend at this agriturismo - the same people who make the body lotion, face cream and essential oils I use. I am an even bigger fan now.
7. Visitors came a-visiting - Jeremy & Cyndy from Cornwall and Sarah, Julian and girls from Chamonix.
8. Went on a very interesting tour of Rome's Great Synagogue (Tempio Maggiore), museum and the Jewish ghetto.
9. Celebrated Thanksgiving in Virginia and my sister-in-law's important promotion at the Pentagon.
10. Worked for our soap people at a Christmas bazaar at the British ambassador's residence.
The last two were very recent - we just got back from the US on Wednesday evening. It's always strange for us to go back - more on that later.

Hi Lomalinda,
my name is Letizia, I am italian, I am raising my child bilingual and I have realised that bilingual families are often pretty much on their own, it is difficult to find other bilingual children the kids can play with and is also difficult to find someone with whom one can share doubts and concerns regarding bilingualism.
So I have a blog on bilingualism: http://blog.bilinguepergioco.com/, and I am organizing Playgroups for bilingual children.
I have seen your blog and I thought that may be you have raised your children bilingual, may be you would be interested in sharing some ideas, and certainly you could have plenty on tips to give to less experienced mothers (like me...)
By the way my blog is mainly in Italian because it’s meant to address all bilingual families living in Italy or having Italian among their portfolio of languages, whatever their other languages might be.
I hope I haven't bothered you, and I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Wish you all the best,
Letizia
P.S.
I would also be extremely grateful if you could forward my blog to any friends you think might be interested because bilingual.
