Happy Birthday Martin!

So—what could be the perfect ending to a day at the Vatican? We decided to go out and celebrate Martin’s 80th birthday that very night!
We chose a special place near our hotel called “La Scala” that had great food. Veal scallopini, risotto, gnocchi with basil, grilled seafood, eggplant Parmesan--multo buono! Dessert however, was a highlight worth mentioning—rum cake simply soaked and dripping with rum. Delicious!
We reminisced about birth stories and memories that Marty has of Martin's and Teddi's parents, remembering places and people that carry the stories of our lives. Peter and Dee, Julie and Tom, Jo, Mollie and Dave, and all the grandkids and cousins, you were all with us in spirit that evening.
What a wonderful way to celebrate the beginning of a new decade for a very special man! Happy birthday Martin! Best wishes for many more years of health and happiness!
