Elvis has left the Building


And Papa Healey has arrived in Florence. Very excited. He landed in Bologna last night and this morning, after a relaxing massage that his darling daughter arranged, we had lunch together near my office. It is so weird, but it seems as soon as I see him that no time has passed at all- much less 2 months since the last time I saw him and a year since he was in Florence. Madison is super excited that Papa is here and has spent the last 24 hours saying "Papa guarda, guarda" (translation- Papa look, look) Papa brought him a bathtub basketball net with 3- count 'em three balls and we are now in 7th heaven (we slept with the balls clutched in our little hands). And this morning we were there in bed with Papa counting the balls. Papa would say 1,2,3 balls and Madison would say one, quattro, ten! Very satisfied with himself obviously...to be continued.
