Last Notes npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Coming back to Miami in July for the first time in 17 years is eye-opening. I can see why our Italian don't understand the air conditioning culture. It's like they keep everything so cold indoors that when you walk outside the heat feels good, instead of like Satan's butthole. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #SilentSunday npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti 😍 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I can't stop thinking about this chilling image of the Christ the Redeemer statue in #Maratea, surrounded by wildfires. Seems like a particularly timely metaphor for our times. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I set aside an hour this morning to complete and return our ballots for the August primary. I've never taken the opportunity to vote from oversees more seriously than I did today, knowing how precarious it is. #IVoted npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Tonight I looked out the window and thought: “Man, we have cool sunsets!” So I had to run out with the iPhone to try to capture some of the magic. #Umbria npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti When we got home and started to roll out the hose, we saw that we had enough length to water our flowers and vines, and then run it down the hill to Pino's and water his vines as well. 🥹 3/3 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Well, we haven't learned much in the intervening years. We went back to the mill yesterday to get a new soaker hose for my garden. We thought we could also use some to water our little vineyard. Being Americans, we had no idea how long 250 meters of hose was: we just gleefully bought the roll. Our neighbor Pino (our own Minister of Agriculture) was behind us in line and had a huge smile on his face, and asked cheekily what work we had planned. 2/3 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Yesterday we had another Green Acres moment. You know when the ignorant city dweller shows just how ignorant he is? I remember years ago when we planted our first garden. We went to the mill to buy our plants and the amused cashier shouted for all the farmers to hear: "Twenty-four zucchini!" We obviously knew nothing about - well, anything - and our embarrassment grew over the summer, along with our zucchini. #Umbria 1/2 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti 250 years? It feels like that's how long it's been since Trump rode down that stupid escalator. The only thing I'm celebrating is that he won't be there forever, and that someday - hopefully sooner rather than later - we can get down to the business of fixing what he has broken. #USPol npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti We both loved, loved, loved this! My neighbor gave me a ton of zucchini and it was perfect. My husband declared it "company good." npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #SilentSunday npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti That's exactly what I thought! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti This morning while I was watering my garden, I thought of my grandmother. She wrote letters every day: to my mother, her sisters, and assorted friends and relatives. I never understood it. They were typically short and filled with riveting tidbits like: "I had seven red day lilies open this morning." But I get it now, Grandmeme! #Bloomscrolling npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Even after 20+ summers in Italy, I had to make a screenshot of a conversion chart to keep it handy. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Before we added AC, we perfected the fan- over-the-ice DYI solution. It kept our TV area cool enough on many hot afternoons. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #SilentSunday npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti They are annoying! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I love it! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti It's finally that time of year when we can make use of our dining gazebo. But since the sun was still ferocious this evening, I changed seats which gave me the chance to study the wall. It always sparks my imagination when I can visualize the various stages of the house, from guard tower to farm house. Hundreds of years of old windows and doors and repairs. Oh, and there's our own post-earthquake repair (the darker mortar is the give-away). #Umbria npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I got another lit bit of settlement money from Facebook this week, so I sent it straight to @npub1s20…twmm 😊 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti So we came to the outskirts of Florence today because we are maybe sorta thinking about what the next chapter might look like, when we are no longer able to keep up with the demands of a big old farmhouse and 40 olive trees. Let's face it: we're not getting any younger. Florence has always had a special place in the RFL's heart since he went to school there in the 70s. So we are looking at a place tomorrow. My insides are screaming (Hills! The traffic sucks!) but it doesn't hurt to look. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #SilentSunday npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #Caturday A visitor at dinner. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Finally had a perfect day to get out into my garden, and had a couple of surprises waiting for me: what appeared to be the tail and foot recently attached to a little hare, and a gigantic poop. Poor bunny! We used to have a lot of hares around but they stay away from our yard lately, probably owing to the foxes. Ah, life in the country. #Umbria npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Done! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Lucky you! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Last week, a 17 year old boy lost his life in an accident on his motorbike as he was on his way home from school. In Miami, we are so used to fatal accidents they barely register, if we hear of them at all. This registered with me because we pass by the site almost every. I have been very touched by the reaction of the entire community. Yesterday, all of the students and teachers in his school wore white shirts and gathered outside for a moment of silence and emotional tribute to their friend. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Today's POV: I don't hate it without the tree! 😉 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Once again I ask: why? Why? Why? npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti One more cherry tree memory: Cecilia, age 3, sat down and announced "what a beautiful panorama." She then proceeded to recline on the grass, and asked her dad to join her so that they could look at the panorama, look up at the tree, at the cherries, and the sky. Unforgettable. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I will save a piece and add that project to my list of Happy Pursuits this summer. 😊 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I wish I could. It is beautiful, but neither I nor my husband are remotely capable. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti The remains of the tree. 😢 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti 😂😂😂 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I have a good friend in the states who would love to get his hands on it, but I don't know anyone here in Italy who turns wood. Right now it seems destined for the woodpile for the stoves or the forno this winter. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I am so broken hearted today because it is time to chop down our beloved cherry tree. Our friends' children grew up with the annual cherry-picking as a real treat. It was for us, too. We saw one of these (no longer) little girls last week and told her the tree had died, and she almost cried. A sad day for sure, but so many sweet memories. #Umbria #ThickTrunkTuesday npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #FotoMontag Time to take one last living look at Rosie Row in all its May glory before the thunderstorms arrive to trash the blooms. It looks pretty enough throughout the summer, but never as thrilling as the first May blooming. #Bloomscrolling #Umbria npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #SilentSunday npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti 😳 Nothing to see here, move along... npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #FensterFreitag Caught the moon from my window when I woke up in the middle of the night. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti ...and she promised to bring me all of the fresh eggs I can use. Apparently her chickens and geese are very productive! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Reason 492 why I love Italy: I picked up the medication I take every six months at the pharmacy, where they gave me a 12€ discount because they feel bad that I don't have insurance. My neighbor the doctor came up to give me the injection, after which we enjoyed a visit over a glass of wine under the gazebo on a splendid afternoon. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Thanks! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Yep. Any day now. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Oy. ALL the trees shooting poison at me today. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti It's a great town! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Enjoyed the first summer Saturday night out in our town. #Umbria npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti We went there a couple of years ago to spread some of my SIL's ashes, fulfilling her fondest wish. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Thé Père Lachaise Cemetery is fascinating. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Why tf does the FBI director have a personal merch site? npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #Scotland has been on my bucket list for a long time. My ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War was born in a farming area south of Glasgow, and I am excited about exploring that area in particular. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti It feels like this outrageous scam is finally, thankfully, mercifully a bridge too far. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I feel your pain. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #FensterFreitag Oh, how I've missed our spectacular sunsets over the Tiber Valley. #Umbria npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti We're planning to go in August, just starting to fill in the itinerary. I look forward to any replies! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Ciao, doc! 👋 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I'm finally getting over whatever bug we caught in our cruise (it was awful!) and, as I was reminded when I ventured out to the garden for the first time this morning, just in time for spring allergies. Che gioia. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Trying makes all the difference! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti But hasn't he always used audits as an excuse not to release his returns? No audits, no excuse? npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti RE: https://mastodon.uno/@pixelfed/115815375737687683 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti 😳 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti 💕 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I have a nephew who is headed to college, and wants to become a minister. When I last saw him at a family gathering,which is heavily MAGA, I extracted a promise from him not to forget the red words. I hope he remembers that. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti My poor RFL is about a week behind me, but at least we are home. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I'm finally feeling sooooo much better. I even felt like washing all of the sheets we use to cover everything when we leave. Last year I found the speed cycle on the washer, and I must have washed 10 little loads this morning. The sun finally came out today, just in time to hang them all out to dry. Another 4 little loads tomorrow and that chore will be done! Thankful for the sun and for feeling well enough to enjoy a productive morning. #Today npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Yes, it does! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Yes. It's wild looking. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti What are you looking at? npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Gorgeous white peacock spotted through the window at our local lunch spot today. #FensterFreitag #Umbria npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Celebrating literally the happiest day of my life. Happy Anniversary to my RFL. THE EW to my NS. The "Yes, we can" to my "No, we can't." The adventurer who turned out to be the best life companion a girl nicknamed "Gail Go" could have found. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti RE: https://mastodon.social/@DrALJONES/116571295815883284 npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti We finally made it to our house in #Umbria early this morning under sunny skies. The clouds look like they may start rolling in, but it's a good excuse to put off starting on the massive piles of laundry. Dancing a slow, tired and snotty (still!) jig. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti My husband's older sister was special. She was extremely well-read, but couldn't make change. She could be piercingly insightful one minute, and babbling about her rock bands the next. She loved Jim Morrison and Hello Kitty, perhaps in equal measure. When she was cremated, they had her in her favorite Hello Kitty robe. So when we are out and about and see Hello Kitty, we always stop and say hello back to Michele. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti They are just so fucking joyful! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Beautiful morning for hanging out in Lisbon to regroup, and I managed to get my new favorite in my "My Husband's Back" series. #TravelPhotography npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Wednesday morning. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Speaking of getting home, our helper sent us pictures of his work today. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! #Umbria npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti It's as if the trump bible didn't include the Red Words. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti It's kind of funny: I was so sick there for a while that I couldn't think about my regular cappuccino in the morning. After skipping it for about four days, I found myself with a nagging headache that didn't seem to go with the rest of my symptoms. I realized that I was caffeine-deprived. Went down for a coffee and sure enough, I turned the corner. As my husband said when he discovered the powers of coffee at 50: "This stuff makes you perky!" npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Well I had to call upon all of the new and old gods of travel hacks, but I managed to squeeze everything in for the next leg of our journey homeward. It hasn't been our best cruise experience: I started getting sick a little over a week ago and finally started to feel human again today, just in time for the rough seas to keep us in bed for most of the day. But I managed to get it together enough to get bags packed and out the door. Next stop: Lisbon. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti https://english.elpais.com/international/2026-05-07/hondurasgate-the-alleged-us-and-israeli-interference-plot-to-destabilize-mexico-and-other-progressive-governments.html npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Yes, yes I am. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Sadly, I'm more of a silent fumer than a fuss+maker. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti It goes without saying that she was American. Ugh. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti OMG I just witnessed one of the rudest things I've ever seen on a cruise ship, where you would think people know how to act. I was at the pool restaurant where you can get a slice of pizza. I was standing there trying to decide between peperoni and Margherita when an older lady whooshed in front of me and took one of the two back to her table! The whole damned pizza! WTF people? What has happened to us? npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti When I was a baby lawyer, I dreamed of making my mark. Several years later I found myself at the divorce/estate sale of one of the premier lawyers in town. It just seemed so sad and small. It made me readjust my sights and realize that any mark I made would be like footprints in the sand. It was actually very freeing. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Quiet. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Day 3 at sea on the way back to Italy. At lunch I had a burger and fries, two grilled shrimp, a slice of pizza and a cookie. And champagne. Being mature is overrated. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Is it possible for an entire country to implode from cringe? #USPol npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti The best! npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Back-to-Italy packing underway in earnest. It's always more taxing than I think it will be, even though I should be used to it by now. I've enjoyed our sojourn stateside, but it's time to get back home. In these tumultuous times I'm more than ready to hang out on our hill, away from the crazy. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Yes, we seem to be working with some of the same patterns. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti After finishing my months-long embroidery project, it has been nice to return to simple patterns. Over the past couple of weeks, I've made several little hand or bar towels from old dinner napkins as gifts for my family. I'm particularly tickled with this last one I made for my niece who is graduating from GA Tech. I love using materials that have been stuck in a closet. These napkins saw many meals over the years, and it's fun to give them new life. #Embroidery npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Quando ho visto questo articolo sulla nostra rivista locale, ho dovuto assolutamente condividerlo. Se vi trovate in #Umbria, vale davvero la pena cercare questo ristorante. È diventato il nostro punto di riferimento per una cucina genuina a un prezzo ragionevole. Per noi, quei 20 minuti di macchina valgono assolutamente la pena. Non vedo l'ora di tornarci! Ormai manca poco. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti #SilentSunday npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti Rather than reduced liability, they should face strict liability. At this point, AI is a dangerous instrumentality, and should be viewed as such. You can't disclaim liability when you hand someone a loaded gun. npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti So Stardust finally makes it to the wall. I can't wait to see what the next project wants to be. #Embroidery npub17g8a8l4xjnt2myhwhhm55mydgglme857rdf3x95th0jd4jafn22szsermt Gail Parenti I did cry!😢
