Little things

The other morning, I was outside when a truck, that had clearly lost it's way, backed up in our little street. When the driver spotted me, he asked me if I knew Rossi's butcher shop. He, of course, had no idea he was asking a vegetarian, so with a big smile I pointed him towards the only macelleria I know. About 10 minutes later, I was in the garden collecting wood for the fireplace and the same truck passed by again. The driver slowed down, honked his horn and greeted me. Satisfied that I gave him the right directions, I came back inside with my wood and could not stop smiling while I prepared the fireplace. Happiness... it really is in the little things, isn't it?

The big day

Tosca wore her birthday crown the whole day (Auro coloured al the flowers)
 On Monday, Tosca turned one! 
I can not believe how fast my little girl is growing. 
Anyway, for the big day, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law came down and we had a little birthday party, complete with birthday crown, birthday cake and birthday presents!
Auro had to wait a long time to give Tosca her birthday present and was relieved to finally do so.
