Early on July 17th, Gina’s beloved Aunt Bea passed away. She’d been ill for a while, and although her passing wasn’t a surprise, it was a big loss. Fortunately, G had the opportunity to be with her for a bit prior to her death.
Later the very same day of her passing, we learned that a colony of bees had built a hive on the farm, between the kitchen shutter and window – a prominent spot that couldn’t be missed.
Aunt Bea always enjoyed a good joke.
We weren’t at the farm to take care of the bee invasion. But not to worry: our good friend Pietro carefully removed the hive, and relocated it to the farm his family owns just a few miles away from Tutto Doppio.
On our last visit, Pietro presented to us a couple of good sized jars of Bea’s honey. We rebottled it, and shared it with those we love!
I really have to start on my to-do list, but I’m busy listening to the pod casts, reading and loving your tweets and getting lost in the web site!! Bravo!! And running down now to the kitchen to enjoy our Aunt Bea honey! Grazie!!!
Our pleasure!
