(I was up there and I saw it) ***** Today the sun hit the Pantheon at 1pm through the opening in the top at exactly the place that Hadrian, who built it, wished it to hit on this date when it was finished. Unfortunately, mama and papa, shopping for groceries today, missed the time it happened!!! Oh, well, at least you can see the lovely Pantheon again...

  Donc, we are so tickled about this lady and her doggy! Is this brilliant or what? Well, I could have helped mama with digging but I had other things to put in the hole that were…uh…important. I say let’s leave it to the doggies to help out, and I’ll watch from my amazing vantage point, maybe give them advice every now and...

  When I was a young kitty, papa let me know he loved me…all the time. Still does, at a distance…. ***** This is our Monday spark.

Throwing my coin was WORK, even if I have acquired some new talents…too many tourists! They charge now but I split before they got me, haha.   Old photo of group of politicians throwing coins in the Trevi Fountain, but seemed appropriate because they might all be thinking of T’s removal, haha.
