Thanks for the post. I would love to get more

involved in the blog. I went to Florence today with

27 other folks and Dad stayed here and went to see the

Pope at noon come out of his balacony window and bless

everybody. He loved it. There were 11 who went to

Assisi on the train. Such fun to be here. Patsy and

MS and Phyllis seem to be enjoying it. What can I

bring you back from Roma_

Love,

Mom

Mom,

The Pope fell out of the church key you gave me some years ago. (It looked like a round gold coin inside a silver circular bottle opener.) So a new church key from Rome would be good. Maybe one that really feels solid. Turns out the Pope part was hollow.

Glad Dad got to see the Pope. The temperature was probably a lot better than when I saw him in July. People were passing out because of the heat.

ROMA!

Patsy, Dan & I are having a great time. So much

history, so much fun, so much vodka, so much walking,

so much fooda. We love it all. We toured and toured

and toured and have about museumed out.

We are taking lots of pictures which we will share on

Ofoto whether you want to see them or not.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR TED! You are the same age as

Jack Benny, one of the very best comedians of all

times. Have fun at Susan’s tonight. Love to each and

every one of you. Wish we could be with you to help

celebrate your birthday – maybe next year.

Hello to Jeb, Kathy, Nicole, Danny, Kelly and

Claire,Grant, Jami and Fiona, and Susan at the

birthday party. We love all of you.

I am definately going to Mobile on Friday after we get

home (November 18) and Dad says he’ll go with me. (I

sure won’t turn that down). Edy is in a personal care

home and the lady keeps 3 other patients. I am going

down to pick up Hannah and to get her apartment at

University Oakes cleaned out. Whoa is me. We will be

pretty tired, but I need to do this for her. I feel

so sorry for her.

Patsy is very happy with our funny pastor and doesn’t

mind going to mass and touring with the Catholics.

Mary Sydney and Patsy hang out together at the masses!

Love to each of you. We are praying for you. We sure

have lots of opportunities!

Love & XXXX,

Mom, Julie, Aunt Julie, Gramalie
