Weekend at Lago di Como

I had a chance to visit my dear Uncle Larry and his soon to be wife Jayne at their lovely house in Bellano, on Lago di Como.  A much needed break from my crazy thoughts, insane crying, and feeling sorry for 'poverina' Katie.  I needed to get back to my roots and talk with my Zio and listen to my heritage.  I have semi-good news.  He has it in with a woman in my great-grandparents Comune in Montefiorino, where my papers should end up for my citizenship. 

"I don't see the what the problem is, Katie.  It is you God-given right to be a citizen here."  with his stern brit accent.  He is going to have a chat with his friend at Comune once he gets back to London.  Now he and Jayne are getting all the festivities ready for the wedding in September, which I am invited to. 

Well enough about all these things that I can't control at the moment. 

"You just need to take what life throws at you."  Zio has words that speak so loudly.  Perhaps it is because I am dying for a reason to stay when the reason is in front of my face. 

Here are some shots I took this morning from the house, Enjoy.








a presto amici

    I feel a bit better today, I'm determined to have my boyfriend and our life back, it'll need time, but I'm prepared and brave enough to fight

      Yeah she you can get citizenship.  All you need to do is get all the documents and fill out an application at your local Italian Consulate.  Look online too see what the requirements are.  Thanks for the void of confidence.  I am slowly figuring things out.  ciao
