About Me

"qualcosa di bello"...italian for something beautiful...what I hope to share with all who visit on my blogging journey..."piacere"...it is a pleasure to have you visit!

For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:

Nothing says "breakfast" like a syrup-cacking rooster! He is the perfect match to my cream-dispensing hen...mille grazie, me
