    What a collection of great photographs, Merisi! Love that the snack has a glass of red and a glass of white---I see you couldn't make up your mind, so you had one of each. Smart!

      Venice stays in our hearts, always.
      Regarding my absence, I had to stay away for a while. Did not feel any spark to continue posting. Missing my former homes way too much. Will be getting over it! ;-)
      Hugs,
