Sunday Shout-out: Lost in Sicilia

I’m heading south in Italy this week to give a big Sunday Shout-out to a new friend and fellow blogger Karen at Lost in Sicilia. While her blog title suggests otherwise, we know from Karen’s fun and informative posts that she lives lives near Aci Castello just north of Catania in Sicily. What a lovely place to be lost in! I would just love to hop on a boat from Naples to Catania and meet Karen and her charming son for a stroll around one of the lovely piazzas in Aci Castello.

Karen is an art conservator specializing in archaeological objects conservation, and her passion for art, architecture and history makes Lost in Sicilia one of my favorite regular reads. I have also learned a lot about life in Sicily, which is not far from the Amalfi Coast and yet has so many customs, traditions and foods that are different from here. Head over to Lost in Sicilia and you will find yourself lost in dreams of sunny Sicily. Many thanks to Karen for sharing photos and stories about her beautiful city and life in Sicily!

    Hi Laura, I have been reading Lost in sicily for a few months now, really great that you did a Sunday Shout for her. Wouldn't it be great just to hop on a boat and meet up.

    I am amazed at lots of the jobs that people do, my own life must sound rather boring.. 🙁

    Ciao Karen! Prego! 🙂

    Ciao Anne! Yes, it would be great to hop on a boat! I am not sure what you do, but if it has anything to do with Formula 1, I think that is pretty awesome! 🙂

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
