The forecast said 4 days of snow ending Wednesday night. Fabri and I were worried, our flight leaves at 7:15 on Thursday morning. We got a few hours of snow yesterday. Big beautiful flakes. Nothing stuck (here in Saluzzo, Cuneo got 3 - 4 inches). Now the forecast says no more snow until after Christmas. So much for that giant snowstorm.
I took Olney out for a walk when the snow was falling. We're pretty sure that was his first time seeing snow. We don't know if he was born in December or January, but either way, he would have been VERY little during last year's snowstorm and wouldn't have gone outside. Yesterday he caught some snowflakes in his mouth and jumped around a little. We might take him up into the mountains this evening to let him run around in the snow. I'm sure he'll love it.
Last Sunday Fabri's work celebrated the 10th year of the Hospice. One of the nurses organized a lovely performance. There was an a cappella alpine troops singing group. Then the nurse who organized the event read a poem. Then it was time for the main event: the Sunshine Gospel Choir. They had a lot of energy, but the singing wasn't that great. There was one soloist that had a good set of pipes on him, but the others couldn't make themselves heard without a microphone. The conductor sang and danced and performed and for the second act, he came out in a gold suit. I wanted to ask him afterward where you buy such a thing, but I didn't have the guts. But they were having fun, so it was fun to watch and the whole thing was in a beautiful renovated church that is now a part of the Cuneo town hall. The most important thing was that Fabri networked with doctors and politicians, though, as usual, I had to pull him away from talking to nurses so he could do so...
