Thanks, Beth. My mom just celebrated her 80th birthday, and she is one of the coolest women I know. Looking at that photo, I realize that she was only a few years older than I am now when it was taken. Unbelievable!!

Sicily is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I'm sorry that the quality of the photo isn't a bit better because those mountains that you can barely make out in the background are just breathtaking.
