The Fergnianis are putting us up for a few days as we settle out with the landlord and utilities company. Heading home Wednesday! What couple of years... http://www.travelingfreels.com/archives/2007-12-15/we-knew-it-was-coming/ Well, it's almost that time: The time for us to come home. We have one more newsletter to send out to recount our last few months here in Vicenza. We get back to Huntsville on December 19th, where we'll spend the next few months at temp jobs while we wait to ... http://www.travelingfreels.com/archives/2007-12-07/due-date-for-support-checks-december-19th/ My family came to visit us about a week ago!

I ... http://www.travelingfreels.com/archives/2007-06-19/new-photos-on-flickr/ Well, we in Italy are coming up on one of the strangest seasons of all in the country: Summer.
