Saturday, March 26, 2011 (Part 1)What a wonderful day we had today in Stradella and Piacenza. We began the day in a very leisurely way - not emerging from our room until 9:30 a.m. We had a nice light breakfast, and then Katherine and I walked into town with Niki.
I had made the "mistake" yesterday of telling Niki how much I admired her oversized handbag. It's actually more like a tote bag. So this morning, Niki greeted us with the proposition that she and Rosita and Renza wanted to buy presents for me and Katherine -- perhaps a handbag like hers.
So one of our goals this morning was to do a little shopping. We stopped in one store and looked at several fun bags, but nothing suited us as much as Niki's style of bag. So then we went to the store where she had purchased her bag and we were delighted to find that they had about a dozen different colors and patterns. We looked through the entire collection, one bag at a time. We each found one that we liked very much, and Niki made the purchase for us. We are so blessed to have such wonderful cousins. I was very touched by their generosity.
The photo at the top of this page is not a very good picture of Niki, but it's a great shot of her bag! And now Katherine and I each have one just like it.
