Dear friends, I am writing this from Gate D in the Charlotte Douglas Airport as I wait for my flight to Frankfort, Germany and then on to Venice, Italy to spend Thanksgiving with my son, his lovely wife, and their three ravioli's...my grandchildren.
This is an unexpected pleasure as my son and his wife decided (out of the blue) to send me a ticket to come visit them in Vincenza, Italy for Thanksgiving holiday.
As many of you know, I have recently become the grandma-ma of twins two months ago. This double addition to the family has been a blessing and a joy. The only difficult part is they are so far away so I can only see my raviolis from the webcam or pictures in email.
To be able to hold them in my arms and then play with Kit Kat as we craft and glitter and bake away is the best possible world a grandmother could ever want.
So, look for future postings over the next few days about my adventures in Vincenza with the delightful grandchildren and their wonderful mother and father. Enjoy your weekend. Sea Witch

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Have an absolutely wonderful time! Congratulations on the new twins! They must have been born when I was traveling in the West and away from my computer.
I know exactly how you feel about finally seeing them since my one and only grandchild lives far away...so stock up on all those hugs and kisses and baby snuggles while you are there, Sea Witch.
Safe travels!
Hugs, Pat
How exciting! I'm happy for you. Enjoy to the fullest. Happy Thanksgiving, you lucky ducky!
Hey you forgot to pack me!!!!Have a GREAT time. Get lots of hugs from the 3 babies. Looking forward to seeing you when you get back. Take lots of pictures.
Oh how wonderful..you must be in heaven..blessings to you..
Congratulations, what a wonderful Thanksgiving gift!
I wanted to ask: What kind of fiber do you spin? Do you knit sweaters and such?
I've never tried spinning, but I do love to knit. All I've ever knitted is scarves, because I'm too lazy to learn to make anything else, but I enjoy the process so much! Everything from choosing the yarn to the actual knitting, then wearing - or gifting- the scarf is satisfying.
- But don't be thinking about that now! Enjoy Italy, and your family, and life!

Grandkids AND Italy??? Wow! What a treat!
You are going to love Vicenza! I am so jealous, make sure you visit Verona, it's actually my favorite between all the cities of Veneto. Bring warm clothes. Last time we landed in Venezia it was snowing!.Nice for you to stop by Mammabellarte, "Buona festa del Tacchino"= "Happy Thanksgiving" Rita
