🇺🇸 A big shout out to all those staff and volunteers who made this July 4th one to remember.

We got to watch a few of our younger volunteers drawing chalk pictures on the sidewalks for us and we could not resist a few sing-a-long songs to some of our favorite patriotic tunes.

🇺🇸 Thought of The Day: What memory or experience makes you feel the most patriotic?

🇺🇸 We hope your holiday was as memorable as ours was.

🇮🇹 It’s never a bad idea to circle back to Italy in our travels around the world. Reminiscing about each others trips, discussing culture, current events and topography.

🇮🇹 Nicole’s dishes never disappoint, as she served authentic Italian cuisine with Italian music and a dry red wine that paired well with the fresh pasta from a local market.

🇮🇹 Italian fact of the day: Italy became a unified country of its own in 1861.

We took the break in the rain as an opportunity to release our butterflies. ⛅️

The butterflies were very excited to be in the fresh air and quickly spread their wings. 🦋
