Shown here is our pizza party in Bologna with Barbara, her daughter, and friends with my family. The joy of new friends, an opportunity to sample some the most delicious pizza in Italy at Barbara's friend's pizzeria, great stories that included a "Mama Mia!!" ending, plus good local wine = great time had by all! This is one of those times that I relive in my memories and remember what a special evening it truly was. Who would have thought that when I began learning calligraphy that it would open friendship doors like this? Cheers to pen and ink and to our good friends in Italy!
