You are so right, Mary Louise, it is a privilege to have a home you love to come home to.

I experienced that same anxiety in the airport and I am not anxious to repeat it any time soon. I hope things will get better, though so I can venture farther from home again.

I'm impressed that you traveled solo in Italy for 5 weeks. What an adventure that must have been! I would love to have the courage to do the same. It's not too late, but I will have to work up to it. :)

Thanks for your comments. ♥
