Sunday Shout-out: Happy Mother’s Day!!

This Sunday I want to give a shout out to all the moms reading . . . Happy Mother’s Day!! You all most certainly deserve a shout-out every day! I send my love and wishes to my wonderful mother on this day, and wish we weren’t so far apart. My Mom’s favorite place in the world is Positano, which brings her tears of joy and emotion when she arrives. I never go to Positano without thinking of you, Mom!

Yesterday I took the boat to Positano in the morning, which is certainly the best way to arrive in the city. You see the wonderful vista of the city as you come into Port, and you arrive right in the center of town down on the beach. The Church of S. Maria Assunta is just steps away from where you land, as well as shops, restaurants and, of course, the beach! I tagged along with my boyfriend who was doing a tour, and while he worked I chatted with a friend, watched the seagulls flying around the beautiful dome of the church, and did a bit of shoe shopping. A note to shoppers: they make beautiful handmade leather shoes in Positano!

But the morning would have been all the better if I had been with my Mom. How about next Mother’s Day we do this together, Mom? Sounds perfect! To my mother and all the mother’s out there….

Happy Mother’s Day!!

    Tee hee, we both posted transversely about Positano! That is because she is our mother in a way.

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
