Veneto is beautiful...We drove up to Germany from Naples, took the A-1
to the A-22 through Brenner's pass...that area up there is gorgeous. I
told DH he could drop me off anywhere...I'd happy stay there the rest of
my life.

Naples could burn to the ground and I wouldn't mind.

One reason that we don't go to hospitals on the economy, as I was told
by my doctor, is that a woman who was 7 months pregnant was given a depo
provera shot instead of a Rhogam shot and it almost killed the baby.
