Ciao Amalfi

My Menu, Weather · February 24, 2010

Howdy from Nebraska!

From the rainy Amalfi Coast I landed late last week in snowy Nebraska. I did at first feel a bit “walled about with drifts of snow,” and was reminded of Longfellow’s poem about Amalfi. But the wintry white landscape is beautiful and certainly different from what we see on the Amalfi Coast. When it does actually snow, it never sticks around quite like this.


A week before I left it did snow on the Amalfi Coast for the first time this winter. I’ll share the photos and videos of the beautiful nighttime sugar snow on the Amalfi Coast soon. In the meantime, howdy to all of my readers from Nebraska!

    Both the sunny Amalfi coast and snowy plains of Nebraska can be appreciated for the wonders that they are. Have a great visit.

    Ciao my darling friend. Ironically, it's now warm and sunny in the Eternal City, I haven't had the guts to ask down south to my Costiera friends, in fear that they might report of folks swimming.
    Easter plans are shaping, and I can't wait to meet over delizie al limone and scialatielli…

    Ciao and keep warm!

Weekend ✨✨✨ in Amalfi. Weekend ✨✨✨ in Amalfi.
Last week I met a beautiful and kind woman who sha Last week I met a beautiful and kind woman who shared with me a little bit about her experience with breast cancer. It’s a topic that has been on my mind a great deal lately, as it is like clockwork every six months as I go through my usual round of check ups. She spoke so gently and simply about how when she looks back on the experience now she sees all the gifts that it brought her - something that hit me on a profound level. Gifts. 

I don’t know exactly why I’ve hung on to this little appointment card from Tuesday, June 15, 2021. It was for my first ultrasound where the breast cancer was found. It’s not exactly the sort of thing to be sentimental over. Looking at it today—three years later—and feeling very grateful for everything being clear and good after the latest tests, I thought of this song. This card is a little souvenir of a terrible year. But, after that recent conversation, I realized that I don’t look back at it that way anymore. Because it was also a colorful year in so many ways. Maybe I’ve hung onto it because I needed to realize that the biggest gift I can give myself is to remember the gifts. Thanks, Sally! 💙

What I love about June in Amalfi: the brilliant bo What I love about June in Amalfi: the brilliant bougainvillea against the deep blue sky, the screams of swifts swirling above the Cathedral early in the morning, the way the air is still a little cool before the sun rises over town, the rows of colorful beach umbrellas, the way the scent of our neighbor’s jasmine suddenly arrives inside our home, the return of friends who come in the summer, and warm walks along the sea after dark. 

I love having a birthday in June. But since I will be back in Nebraska with family for my birthday later this month (for the first time in years! 🎉), I’m making sure I really sit and notice everything I love about this month in Amalfi. And, yes, I’m one of those people who stretches out birthday celebrations for as long as possible! 💙
