And now I am thinking about you not only because you are far away and I'm missing you, but also I'm remembering the frenzied pace you kept up with regarding VITORIA during the lead up to the Show! It seems like it was only yesterday. <br />And where did the time go? ;D<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-62337926651721407122019-02-24T05:27:48.911-08:002019-02-24T05:27:48.911-08:00Yikes!

For sure the right stuff for your Villa Leone in those special life moments - not champagne. We're very straight about this in Europe, the term champagne is reserved for sparkling wine coming from the Champagne in France. The ones produced in Germany are called "Sekt", in Spain it's "Cava"... and in Italy it's Prosecco. ;O) But whatever it's called and wherever it was cultivated - I'm not so much into this stuff. But who knows what a little glass of prosecco could do to your mojo juices? ;O)<br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-15173328036471493972019-02-14T23:09:03.925-08:002019-02-14T23:09:03.925-08:00You had an exellent idea with all the change you m...You had an exellent idea with all the change you made in this kit. <br />I just love both of the bathrooms.
