Construction a Italia

The tile delivery was last Friday, that's David and the delivery guy, he has really bad teeth and long pony tail, even and earring! The area in the back was poured last week and is now curing. Looks like the perfect spot to put a ping pong table, but right now I am not sure that will ever happen.
Here is another view of the house from the front, I'm thinking that I will paint the house portrait somewhat like this view. The grassy area is a typical view around here, mostly farmer's fields, small trees, many are olive trees and of course a cute Italian farmhouse.

My computer has been really a bit touchy lately, I have to shut it down frequently but still I am glad to be able to do this in the house!

Today is a day for me to ICE my feet, especially my poor right heel, it's red and HOT...Claudia has a better understanding of my affliction and is much more sympathetic. Yesterdays heart to heart talk was cleansing and very helpful. Also, I could use my little heater last evening so I didn't feel cold when I went to bed. OK, I'm going to take more pictures around the house today since I am a bit invalided...and post again.

Hi Gretchen,
What a long nice stretch of grass! Do you go walking? In novels the heroin goes out walking, and bumps into X, Y or Z, you fill in the blanks . . . :-)

Your situation sounds edgy but pretty cool. "They" say it keeps your brain young to to do new things. I read this, so have been viewing your adventures with envy.

I am watching the election returns and by now it is fairly clear that OBama is our new President. Yea!!
But, what a crappy job to have right now.

Anyway friend, keep your feet in good shape so you can keep trekking . . .
