Our Italian Friends


OUR ITALIAN FRIENDS

What else can we say about Betty and Antonio and their family, except: THEY ARE THE GREATEST!

The couple is considerably younger than we are, but they don't seem to care. We visit with them as long as possible, and they participate in any discussion we choose to talk about. They really and truly make us feel like we are all equal and we never seem to run out of some conversation with them. They give and take and offer their opinions on any subject, and they listen to our opinions on any subject. This is a personal quality that we miss with many of our other acquaintances. Sometime they may disagree with us, but they are never disagreeable. It is the utmost pleasure for us to visit with them. This includes their Mama and Papa, and her brother Gianni and his wife, Manuela.

We count our blessings that we have found much younger friends that we can truly call our ideal friends. We have come to love them almost as much as two of our own children, even if they do live far, far away near Milan, Italy.
