Well, mama has sent me some photos of her day, and I’m passing them on, sort of a travelogue of what THEY are doing without ME!
Probably bemoaning their fate, whatever that means.
A little visit to a once-deserted villa that houses some Etruscan findings from the 6th century B.C. Mama loves the smiles that seem to be on many Etruscan statues. A happy people, and very advanced in so many areas. We like smiles on anyone!
One of the display rooms of the ancient villa Poniatowski, built in the 16th century and restored in the 18th. Mama said it’s very rundown but so hauntingly beautiful in its fairly ruined state…ferns and plants overrunning the gardens, paths that lead nowhere. I would have loved exploring it!
Mama was strolling through the streets looking in shops and saw this “dress” outside a new place. I think you’d have to water that outfit daily, no?
Tourists on those funny two-wheel electric thingies, rolling through the streets. Not sure mama would do well on those—she recently fell off a BICYCLE! Okay, okay, mama, I won’t go into that…
No garden in Rome, that’s for sure! Here’s mama’s gardening soil, just bought from the local hardware store.
And here’s mama, repotting a lovely basil plant that a friend left in their apartment as a ‘hello’. Not like having a garden, that’s for sure! And there would be no way I’m using that sack as my…er…resting-in-the-sun place! Much less that OTHER thing…
Well, I leave you with another smile that mama liked. It think she and papa are just trying to keep up their spirits WITHOUT ME there to lift them.
Well, mama, you have your Roman pizza and I have my EXTRA kibble and treats. Hey, home is where the hand-outs are!
Hi Loulou. What, they went away and left you?! Maybe its some form of fasting? Clearly though those photos are meant to reassure you that they aren’t having a good time, I mean photos of an old house and lumps of stone! I bet they will so pleased to see you after their trip and will bring you lots of cuddles and even more treats.
Wow that dress looks fun, be even better if it was nip!

HEY, a NIP DRESS!!! What a great idea Haute Cature!
What a lovely and interesting trip they are on. But you are living the good life too with extra treats and letters from afar.
Well, they go there for the little devils who call themselves grand kids. Grand? They are both so LITTLE.
You are wise beyond your years, Loulou. However many that is. Home is definitely where the handouts are. Around here, at least.
We know your mama and papa miss you and you them. How sweet of you to keep up a cheerful facade so they won’t feel sad they’ll just wonder why you are having such a good time without them. 🙂
Oh, I am the world’s best actress…I try to look cheerful but then find that I AM!!!
Home is where the handouts are for sure!
We hope mum’s basil grows. Ours self-seeds (its in a biggish pot) so when it dies down it waits for warm weather and we get basil all over again!
WHERE DID YOU FIND THOSE SEEDS? Mama would LOVE that. Once again, she just threw about a gazillion seeds in the air and prayed.
