You have a great heart for this project, and I love it. I may have you write a letter to certain authorities here on my behalf..so they can come to share your view of me.

I’ll make sure you get a first class relic when I croak.

Your sinner pal,

David

I hope and believe that God is smiling on our efforts, and no doubt laughing out loud at times. On our own, we’d be sunk, time and again. Our place is His place, so to speak.

Thanks for the uplift,

David

I love the white room and the black dog, too. More and more. I’ll get you the info you need soon. Working on it.

We’re hoping to lure a nice American couple with an Eyetalian inclination to come live here and cook for us. Any ideas?? The wine cellar will be jammed with Brunello Nobile from the vineyards neighboring our beloved Sant’ Antimo.

I ordered a load of sand today, granted a big one, thirty tons, from Shamji. It costs 81% as much as the mazzera stone for all three areas (1500sq ft for $586.00), one of the twisty myst’ries of construction in Kenya.

Wait ’til you see the finished cement floor. You’d think Frances Mayes was moving in.

Ci vediamo, fratello.

Jenny M. said it so well, all I could do is smile and wipe tears from my eyes.

You are a saint.
