I'm Here in Day by Day

I just don’t have time to do it all and PB is one of those casualties.

My sis-in-law and nephew are here for a few days until power is restored in Naples. We’re having these long discussions on family dynamics, mixed in with old memories, and laughter and acceptance of personality traits. That’s in between conversations about what foods we don’t like and what life is like in Vietnam (and Italy. And France. and the States).

Did I mention my sister in law is French and cooks fabulous meals? That she’s a better cook than me? Or that my nephew is rather droll and witty and they’re both a lot of fun to have around? I’m getting spoiled!

They’re thrilled to be staying somewhere with electricity and hot showers, so it’s a win/win. 65,000 people in my area without power.

I am writing out my thoughts on the storm and will post them soon.
