I have a wonderful friend who is also Italian. She always sends me fummy jokes, Inspirational thoughts  and keeps me laughing. By the way she always let's me know she loves me. We are both from the East Coast and love our wine and cheese, playing cards and good conversation.  What is so sad is that she moved to Florida and is having a wonderful time growing old. Good for her but I have lost a close friend that I could visit.
