THE ADVENTURES OF CICADA'S TRAVELS AND FOOD FINDS
All my life I wanted to live in Europe and I got that chance when I joined the Military and my first assignment was to Italy. I got a life time opportunity to live in a small town called "Aviano" in the early 80's and then again the military sent me back overseas to an Island called "Sicily' and that's where I meet my Prince Charming and a fairy tail was born. Now 14 years later, together we come back to the magical land called "Italy" where dreams and fairy tails come true !

John Denver - The Eagle And The Hawk (1977)
I posted this article last year and had to put John Denver music to my writing.
Today the weather is clear and crisp in the upper 50’s; but last night has brought a heavy frost and damage to my bedding plants along with the Peach tree! This year the peach tree bloomed early because January was so warm, but February has been bitter cold month and the peach tree buds are clinging to life. I seriously dought these little peaches buds will make it to maturity.
On my lunch hour I was at the bank and happened to look up in the sky, when I witnessed the most amazing event. The cold weather has brought out the large birds of prey looking for food. As I gazed up to the beauitfull crisp clear sky, there soaring was a RedTail Hawk gling on the thremal waves, searching high and low for food. Little did the red tail know he had company with a Bald Eagle, what a amazing site both birds in the sky at once!
From a distance an intense scream come from another Red Tail hawk. This hawk, which must be the mate of the other one, had no intention of sharing his air space with this Eagle. So out came the claws and snap to the Eagle. The Eagle laughed with pleause to the red tail hawk's febile attempt to clear the air space. This magestic red tail hawk circled the sky once more and snap to the Eagle to clear the air space. This time the eagle leaves for more profitable territory. What a moment!
A thought for the day: Our land is being destroyed by over building. How will our Birds of prey survive?. Will my children and their children get to witness such a wonderfull site, or we surcome to loosing this part of nature as well? How can both worlds survive and become one.?

Leaving On a Jet Plane
We are leaving on a Jet Plane November 20th, 2007 to Denver Colorado and don't know when we will be back!. "Well nice thought anyway'. The last time all or most of the our family was together, was over "30 years ago"
History is about to be made again. It's only taken my niece to move to Colorado with her new husband, build a new home; just to bring all
us together again! I think there is a silver lining in this home coming.
Life is too short to have family feuds and our family is no exception to that rule. This historical holiday our family will be missing a few family members, parents, brothers, sisters, nieces and two great nephews who will not be joining us at the dinner table, which I am truely sorry. I wish them Happy Holidays where ever they may be.
I hope this year will bring "TRADITION" back into our family again. Tradition that is rich in history where one generation passes down secrets of how to make that "brown gravy", to the next. Where stories are told, new memories are made, family bonds are rekindled and we reunite as one strong force to be reckoned with! May this holiday be blessed with good fourtune.
Our clan will descend from coasts to coast and meet in the middle for this Thanks Giving in "Denver Colorado" There will be over 15 of us. We have nearly 3 generation under one roof. This "Thanks Giving" we will have a lot to be Thank full for!
Hey Bill, Maybe "CHARLIE" will make an appearance at the dinner table this year! so Bill what do you think? LOL ..... You just never know
