REALLY!!!! I think of you often, because I remember thinking years ago how fascinating it was to me that you did that!! So I love to be reading about your harvest this year, again! SO COOL that your make your own oil - and oh how I wish I were close enough to watch the process! I am excited to say that my husband and I are FINALLY planning our FIRST trIp to Italy for next November (2013). Yes, we are planning that far in advance! I am so excited about it, and have to ask you for some pointers and suggestions when we start finalizing things!!! It's going to be an exciting year!!!
