Madeline and the Cats of Rome

Well, it's about time that Madeline went to Rome! The book was published in September by the grandson of original Madeline author Ludwig Bemelmans.

GG looks longingly at the Madeline doll out of her reach on the bookshelf. She wouldn't play nice, we're pretty sure. She's like Madeline, a feisty, independent,mischievous redhead. In fact, GG's middle name is 'Madeline,' after guess who? She looks just like the cat in the lower right hand of the cover. More soon about the long list of Roman sights that Miss Clavel & the girls see (plan to see?).

Redheads for Obama

Wouldn't this look adorable affixed to Giulia's collar?
ciao, GGCM

GG Central is Stressed Out!

Too much to do, to read, to write. We're dancing as fast as we can!

GG Central is suffering the late summer blahs along with an overwhelming amount of projects simmering away that must be brought to the boil. Forgive the cooking metaphor: we'd rather be cooking! We promised to take today off & we did not due to website housekeeping duties. If you have time to look at only one thing this evening, we recommend The Menton Daily Photo. Bien sur.

Ciao-meow et bisou, minettes! xoxoGG
